  1. Got to test drive a Type R - Currently own an M2

    Unfortunately I don't own a CTR, wish I did, and probably someday will. But do own a BMW 335ix, so I am familiar with BMW's performance, thought the 335 is not at the same performance level as a M2. But what would set the BMW M2 higher on my list, because the M2 is also offered as a Convertible...
  2. How old is too old to buy an Si?

    Well, 60 yrs young here... And a few years back, we leased a '16 Civic EX with Honda Sense for our daughter to give her a dependable fun car while in college. And we have taken a liking to the looks/shape/ride of the Civic, which we take for a spin while she is home from college (and leave...
  3. Cool Honda Heritage - Not a Civic, but the forerunner of the Civic

    Here is a really great example of the forerunner to the Civic. The last year of production of the Honda N600. This beauty is in excellent condition, and is so cool in a very weird and retro way! List price less then most pay for state sales taxes on our 10th gen Civics. Anyway, figure there are...
  4. If I got a white one, would someone trade me cars?

    The local dealer near me, in Huntington, Long Island NY has a brand new white CTR in stock...
  5. Real Life Public Reaction to Your CTR

    Yeah, I know Ocean pkwy, and more then likely you would lose your license if you raced there! Also, that would be a interesting race, BMW M4 is no slouch! I believe the BMW's have over 425 plus HP and about 3800 lbs and handling is in BMW's DNA. But the CTR is a beast at 306 HP and weighing in...
  6. A7 maintenance minder

    I found this, which lead me to believe that A7 brake fluid related. If a Maintenance Minder indicator does not appear more than 36 months after the item 7 is reset, change the brake fluid every 3 years. NOTE: Inspect idle speed every 160,000 miles (256,000 km). Adjust the valves during...
  7. A7 maintenance minder

    Hi folks, our 2016 Civic EX with only 12200 miles just got a A7 maintenance minder, which I believe means change the brake fluid. Doesn't that seem to be on the low side in mileage to change out the brake fluid. And the brake reservoir fluid was very clear and clean, as one would expect...
  8. Caught between a Civic and hard place

    Totally agree, during my days of hunting for a fun car, the BMW 320 & 328 did nothing for me. It wasn't till I drove the 335xi did the fun factor skyrocket. Tires are a concern too, BMW's run on run flat tires, so they ride harder and cost more too. Some switch back to normal tires, and if...
  9. Caught between a Civic and hard place

    Hey Birch If you make the switch to a used BMW, make damn sure you get a CPO car with the extended BMW warranty. The cost of owner ship of a BMW vs any Honda is huge, factoring in MPG, insurance, maintenance costs that much higher then Honda. And if you don't have a BMW extended warranty the...
  10. 18 civic hatch or 18 accord

    How true, I'm gonna stay quiet on this one, be interesting to see if we get another Honda vs Honda duke it out, roll in the mud brawl
  11. Bought a 2018 2.0 Turbo Accord Touring

    Thank God we got past this... it was getting UGLY Really doesn't matter to me if someone on this forum buy's a Civic or for that matter a Fit, Accord, Pilot, HR-V, CR-V, Odyssey, Ridge line or NSX (Best Honda/Acura Ever! IMHO) or for that matter any other brand of car. I just like hearing how...
  12. Bought a 2018 2.0 Turbo Accord Touring

    Ahhhhh That makes sense, on our last several vacations, our rental car has been the lower model Camrys... The rentals were nice cars and all, just seemed very anemic in the power and fun/factor areas.
  13. Bought a 2018 2.0 Turbo Accord Touring

    Hey Dallasjhawk, I think you are 100% on the money, its very hard to beat the new Accord when trying to get an affordable, dependable and inexpensive to operate family car and it is a GREAT LOOKING car to boot! I think you also are correct in that the Accord has always seemed to be more...
  14. Bought a 2018 2.0 Turbo Accord Touring

    Good points Coo1rim, Totally agree about the cost of ownership, as I know it first hand. But I cant agree with the traction in snow, (or rain or dry sunny days), our all wheel BMW 335 xi, even with 300 plus hp and our Benz 4Matic easily out perform the civic in snow, no question about it at...
  15. Bought a 2018 2.0 Turbo Accord Touring

    A slightly different view, few years back we went shopping for a new Accord, and ended up with a used BMW 335xi, (Certified Pre Owned). for less or equal $'s then the new Honda (depending on trim level, we looked at EXL). Down side is higher cost of ownership (much higher), less MPG and premium...
  16. Civic X's big brother

    Congrats, the Accord looks great in Red!

    So we got the Maintenance Minder for a B1 service today, our dealer mails us coupons ever 3 to 6 months and one is for $59.95 for Oil n Filter and tire rotation. So we'll see if thats all its really going to cost. Car is leased and our lease ends on 03/2019 and car has barely over 10K miles...
  19. If you could take back time?

    +++++++++++++ "If I could turn back time" (why do I link of Cher?) and a new S2000 existed, I'd purchase another one in a heartbeat... my '04 S2000 was stolen in 2010 :( , very sad day indeed. Like our '16 Civic, but loved the '04 S2K!!!
