  1. I don't feel like a 1.5l 4cyl saves much money in gas over a 6.2l V8

    $18 a week equals about $5000 over five years. What the heck are you smoking?
  2. Civic Touring vs. BMW 328i

    Great comparison. Thanks!
  3. Full of Anxiety

    Enjoy your Mazda!
  4. What are some things that people say that offend you about your car?

    Since I ended up buying a new 2016 Accord EX instead of a 2016 Civic EX-T, allow me to say why—which might possibly be seen as saying annoying things. First, I love the new Civic. It's clearly the best car in its class, and has great style, great performance, excellent mpg, and is a lot of car...
  5. What are some things that people say that offend you about your car?

    I know this maybe isn't the right thread to post this, but I have a quick question about the 2016 Civic sedan: do the rear windows roll down all the way? I imagine not, but can someone post a pic showing how far the glass goes into the door. Thanks. But I could phrase this as something...
  6. 2016 Honda Civic vs Accord Comparison

    After thinking about it off and on for several months, I finally bought a 2016 Accord EX to replace my 2008 Accord EXL navi. The main reason for this is the mediocre rear visibility on the new Civic. The Accord still has excellent sight-lines all around, but the Civic's new swoopy design limits...
  7. Possible to trade 2months old Ex for Ex-T?

    Definitely possible. But it will cost a few thousand dollars and some paperwork.
  8. Starting to have my doubts

    Wow—you are getting hybrid-like mpg!++ To the OP: As you know, you have included a bumper to bumper factory warranty for 3 years, and then a powertrain warranty for 2 years after that. It seems that a few of the new Civics have a few issues, but if you get one that does Honda will fix it for...
  9. Civic a "Best Car to get to 200,000" says Consumer Reports

    This has been posted elsewhere, but it's interesting stuff. Yuji Matsumochi, Chief Powertrain Engineer for the 2016 Civic, talks about the 1.5T:
  10. Civic a "Best Car to get to 200,000" says Consumer Reports

    Fascinating charts. Thanks for posting these. If I'm reading the one for the Audi correctly, most A3s don't make it to 150k, let alone 200k. The idea some have that "any car these days will make it to 200k" seems disproved by these charts. Even getting to that point with a Honda takes careful...
  11. Can a rear wiper be installed?

    No. Next time get a hatchback or suv.
  12. Civic a "Best Car to get to 200,000" says Consumer Reports

    True. But Consumer Reports is basing this on decades of data. "Past performance doesn't guarantee future results," as is often said, but CR seems confident that it's a good predictor if Civics from the 80s, 90s, 2000s and beyond often got to 200k, then the new 2016 Civic is likely to as...

  15. How do you feel about the steering?

    Yes, it's designed to have more sporty and precise steering. A Camry is more like a Buick.
  16. Gas Mileage

    Sounds like you're doing all city driving and have a very heavy right foot. But also the engine needs to "break-in." MPG should go up a bit as you get past 1000 miles. Try this experiment: Drive on the freeway at least 20 miles without exceeding 70 mph and without the AC. I bet you'll get close...
  17. April Civic sales..

    Last month the Civic was the best selling car in the US. Pretty amazing. I think that meets the fondest hopes that Honda had for the epic Civic.

  19. People laughed when I said my touring drives like a sports car.

    In the past, the idea of comparing a Civic to entry-levels sedans from Audi and BMW seemed silly, although the Civic Si sedan was a contender, with its 6-speed transmission, limited slip differential, sport-suspension, 2.4 Vtec engine, etc. But that was the very low volume Si. Now, however, any...
  20. People laughed when I said my touring drives like a sports car.

    The Civic turbo sedan is just as fast as a BWM 320i—and almost exactly the same size. BMWs have become a little bit softer in terms of their handling over the years, and so the Civic is fairly close there as well. And a BMW 320i that's equipped to try to match a Civic Touring lists for c. $43k...
