  1. My 2017 Hatchback Dash Rattle Thread

    My 2016 Civic touring is a complete rattletrap. It's got a great turbocharged engine with great mileage and great electronic goodies with a totally piece of s*** suspension and hardware parts inappropriately matched to the frame. This is my first Honda and it will be my last. Honda builds great...
  2. Rattling Noise

    My Touring has tons of rattles. Piece of shit Honda quality first year blues.
  3. If you could take back time?

    Me too! High beam LED'S, LKA that makes trips a breeze (laser cruise, too). Super speakers, blah, blah, blah. The TOURING badging says "look out, boy racers...sport car in a sedan body with understated dual exhausts bringing 0 - 60 to 6.8 secs; smart buyer". Anyone who buys this car...
  4. Why I'm hesitating to buy a Civic

    My early Touring has gaps where the rear bumper meets the fender. They will have to adjust it. Otherwise, this car is simply amazing especially for the price. Everytime I drive by any Accord on the road I feel I have more care than they do especially with all the bells and whistles and 0 to 60...
  5. Sometimes slow to accelerate..

    There are times when the turbo seems less powerful on hot days. Not by much but just not as sharp which I chalk up to intercooler inefficiency. That is to say it really doesn't cool the air as if it were on a nice chilly day. Results are that there are not a lot of jam-packed cool compression of...
  6. I like ECON mode

    Observations: Econ mode is designed to get better gas mileage and will, especially around town where your pedal inputs are muted and thus " gas saving". You will notice that the air conditioning fan speed slows in econ mode. Also, the compressor seems to be working less and taking longer to...
  7. Is this the most exotic/sporty looking car for the price?

    Thanks for Honda's need to overcompensate for bad rankings in recent years! What they have done is create a car that passes for an Accord looks like a sports car and cost $27,000 totally loaded with everything you could want except memory seats and Driver lumbar. I'm 73 and I feel like 17 with...
  8. CVT Lag + Jolting forward ? (1.5T EX-L Sedan)

    I guess since I'm 72 and not a boy racer, turbo lag does not mean jack s*** to me. It is so modest when econ is off and in the low gear that it doesn't amount to a hill of beans. This is the best car I've ever owned. It passes anything on the road with ease and does it at 42 MPG. Turbo lag...
  9. CVT Lag + Jolting forward ? (1.5T EX-L Sedan)

    B4 the Touring, I had a Suzuki Kizashi without the torque converter combined with the CVT and you couldn't used it to brake the car when backing up. You can with the Civic
  10. CVT Lag + Jolting forward ? (1.5T EX-L Sedan)

    That is not OK and should be fixed. There is a torque converter that kicks in at lower idle and when the revolutions become higher and the car moves forward, the torque converter locks up, it should Sounds like you have a torque converter hi Revolution situation
  11. CVT Lag + Jolting forward ? (1.5T EX-L Sedan)

    It's no big deal. Put it in non econ mode and it will go faster quicker. Put the car in low and bring it all up all the way up to 70 miles per hour. Wow! This can turn into a screaming machine at the click of a lever. On hot and humid days the turbos not quite so quick but, no big deal.
  12. 2016 Civic EX-T A/C Issue

    Remember, guys and gals, they rushed this car to Market. I've had some niggling problems but this car is really something despite all the little nits. Mileage, performance, electronic goodies handling blah blah blah. Just treat it like a girlfriend with a few defects. Going to marry her anyway.
  13. My Memorial Weekend Blowouts (and I'm not talking sales)...

    Barring any accidents like y'all been talking about, these firestone's have been marvelous. Quite surprised out their gripping quality and their smoothness. So I'm not going to judge them quite yet.
  14. Dealer Annoyance

    My Touring blue is so dazzling that nobody even notices either license plate...front OR back! Cops can't even record the number. J'es sayin'.
  15. Winding noise coming from the engine bay

    It doesn't just "spool" it stays whining. It's the cooling fan coming on when the a/c system is on (left green light). Turn it all off with the hvac on/off button on the stack panel and...it goes away. It sucks.
  16. Ex-T vs touring quick question

    Yuppers! The LED's are great at nite and the audio makes a big difference. The wheels a just a hint of black instead of the all black you see with boy racers about town.
  17. If you could take back time?

    Got a blue Touring and...even with the nit-picky problems (amp goes blank, rattle in subwooffer, learning curve on LKA and Avoidance system...all fixable) I can unequivocally say this is the best car I have ever owned or likely ever will (I am 72). Guys (and gals) think of a car you dreamed of...
  18. Winding noise coming from the engine bay

    Here's my take. My 2016 blue Touring has The wail of a far-off siren when I am at rest with the heating system on automatic. If I turn the system off and on with the button the Wailing goes away and then comes back on when the button is on; it stops when the button is off. Leave it on and...
