  1. My severe anxiety is making me dislike driving my car

    Been there, done that, it sucks and can happen to anyone. IMHO, if your physician Rxed more than a few days of Xanax, you need another physician. Benzodiazapines are among the most addictive substances known, you can be hooked very quickly because they work quickly. There are many solution's...
  2. How about Window Tint in Ontario?

    Had my 2016 Coupe done in Florida last year, beautiful job..$105 US. Honda ending the Coupe this and likely manual transmission before long; just had 2020 Sport delivered to dealer, white metallic, waiting for Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 to come in and be installed. Will "I hope" be getting this...
  3. 2016 rear brakes worn out

    Yep, that's mine. Did the Job myself and had bought OEM pads before I knew about this or I wouldn't have, made in Italy, fronts, USA, go figure. Bought rotors from CTC for C$32 per, can't be any worse and I will be going high performance next time but EBC doesn't make for my model. Put Michelin...
  4. 2016 rear brakes worn out

    Last year when I was still dealing with Android Auto issues my service manager made a comment on Honda brake pads being too hard/soft and this year when my rear rotors and pads were like the picture here I was told that I was out of warranty and there was no "special warranty" TSB. The car has...
  5. New 17 Civic

    The "faux" inlets are the black plastic additions outboard on front of the bumper. The volume knob is under your left thumb on the steering wheel and is very easy to use without taking your eyes off the road at all. You can also cycle through the menu with your thumb and change many options...
  6. New 17 Civic

    Looked at some 17 at the dealer in Ontario where I bought mine; they had huge faux inlets in the bumper; not my cup of tea. Hatch looks good, not that I want one but attractive. Cursory glance inside looks the same.
  7. How many of you have almost no issues with your Civic?

    I have a Canadian LX Coupe with the mid $ audio, 7" screen with Android Auto etc. I have driven everything from MG Bs to Muscle Cars to Grand marquis including my 1st car which was an Austin 1800; the first large FWD, Transverse engine car and this is by far the best car I have ever owned, all...
  8. Parking brake as Emergency Brake

    Yes, it is rare but I had it happen to me once in a new rental with dual hydraulic systems. I used the hand parking brake to save me running a stop sign. I have also had a forced landing in an airplane; it does pay to be prepared. The pedal does go down when the parking brake is applied which...
  9. How often do you use Sport Mode?

    Sport Mode is for sport people; "You go Girl". Live while you're alive, you have the right idea.
  10. Newest Video of 10th Gen Type R practicing at the ring

    The car handles remarkably well. I drove from the dealer to my tire shop in my new LX 6 speed Coupe and changed the "tires" that came on it to Michelin Pilot Sports which are by far the best street tire available. They in fact are almost 2cm wider in the tread than the Firestones and the...
  11. If you could do it all over again: would you buy another Honda?

    You can not buy a better car than a Honda. CVT? The Toyota plant in Cambridge Ont. Canada is the highest quality plant in the Toyota world and also builds the Lexus, the first plant to do so outside Japan. Quality is a management function and I can not comment on the US Honda plant but the...
  12. Stop Sale/Safety Recall: 2016 Civic VSA Software Update (electric parking brake issue)

    Personally I like it the way it is; this will result in the car doing something automatically (applying brakes), perhaps at an inopportune time because of a S/W error or other fault. It will be the same potential problem as the automatic lane following and braking possibly fighting with me when...
  13. Parking brake as Emergency Brake

    Does anyone know if the parking brake will act as an emergency brake at speed in the even of total hydraulic failure? It will stop the car at speed if the normal braking system is working. My guess is, no, it is tied into the hydraulic system.
  14. 2016 Honda Civic White Mods

    Great; love my Coupe; could you post a link.
  15. Honda Sensing - Stress Eliminator

    I have some understanding of the system and the Legal Weasel Words they use. I also have some understanding of Human nature and most posts here confirm what I believe on HN; that is, the system is being and will be used in a manner not recommended by the manufacturer resulting in accidents that...
  16. Honda Sensing - Stress Eliminator

    I use and appreciate it daily, but never trust it. WOW! Another poster said it was dangerous which it is but he used it; WOW, what am I missing; I guess I just don't see the humor but then again I was in the safety business and saw too many hurt and accident reports are so hard to write. My...
  17. Honda Sensing - Stress Eliminator

    Cruise control should NEVER be used in less than optimum visibility and traction conditions. This is basic stuff. Yes, driving is serious stuff, fun but serious. Your life and the lives of others is literally in your hands; it's not a video game.
  18. Honda Sensing - Stress Eliminator

    One more excuse to be lulled into a false sense of security where you kill yourself or worse, some innocent victim. When I get into a vehicle I will be driving or especially riding; I take a moment to clear my mind of extraneous thoughts not connected to the task at hand which is likely the...
  19. What do you like best or enjoy most about your Civic?

    I'm really a Motorcycle guy; ride am Italian Supermoto which would need a 600HP Corvette to match my acceleration and cars don't lean. That being said; my new Civic LX Coupe 6 speed is the first car I've owned in a long time that is actually FUN to drive and my last 2 cars were Civic's too. If...
