  1. WTB - Civic Hatchback Sport Rear trunk tray

    It is rubber like material and flexible. It came rolled up in a tall box and I've removed it once to vacuum the underside post installation. Beyond that, I honestly can't say much about holding/sliding since we just got it so my bike doesn't keep scuffing the trunk when I get picked up from...
  2. 2017 Hatchback - This & That - Odds & Ends

    Found a cargo liner for my Sport Touring hatchback
  3. WTB - Civic Hatchback Sport Rear trunk tray

    I have a Sport Touring which makes it even more difficult to find one that fit. After waiting for months, I was almost ready to pull the trigger on the OEM version and then cut it down, but I made one last check at WeatherTech and got lucky. cargo liner for Honda Civic Sport Touring by Terry...
  4. 2017 Hatchback - This & That - Odds & Ends

    Hyundai has always offered more standard. First it was things like heated and powered seats, now that the others have it on mid level trims it is sensing packages. They still offer the best warranty at this price point (often needed because their subpar reliability). People are always going to...
  5. 2017 Civic Hatchback - Ugly?

    And yet, the Sport Tourings which were supposed to be manufactured starting late Nov/early December were delayed January. This implies that the Hatchbacks are popular somewhere.
  6. Connecting iPhone 7 Plus via HDMI?

    My curiosity piqued, i looked it up: First that's a ninth generation civic and all he is doing is using going into the settings to override the driving lockout to HDMI in its infotainment as i mentioned above. My installer installed a physical switch to my Panasonic NEX that does this same...
  7. Connecting iPhone 7 Plus via HDMI?

    There is an iPhone to HDMI connector out there, so that isn't the issue. If the phone is connected via HDMI it should not know the infotainment from any screen/TV and sent the signal. The issue is, typically on cars the infotainment locks out or doesn't provide an HDMI port for safety reasons...
  8. 2017 Civic Hatchback - Ugly?

    I (personally) do too and you really hit the nail on the head with your observation. The spindle grille has been a prominent part of Lexus since 2012 and roundly criticized by the press and designers...
  9. 10th gen Civic vs. 2017 Mazda3

    It's a cost-cutting move that allows Honda better margins. Because they buy in volume and sell in volume, they do very well. As the market becomes saturated, they'll offer manual on more and more trims. Lower volume cars like the Mazda3 and Subaru Impreza can't get away with this so they offer...
  10. 2017 Civic Hatchback - Ugly?

    Yes, if we ignore for the moment that if the D pillar were that small as in the rendering, there is no way the hatch would actually open, hence the fake windows in the C pillar on the Civic hatch or the "bulbous" rear end in the Crosstour. It would also have to be 6 inches longer and handle like...
  11. 2017 Civic Hatchback - Ugly?

    Interesting rendering. While others find it attractive, I think it caters too much to the more design-conservative US market which is mostly going to be purchasing the HR-V over the Civic Hatch (we love our SUVs). On looking it through this rendering, I'm surprised at how toning down the rear in...
  12. 2017 Civic Hatchback - Ugly?

    I think mentioned the C pillar in two posts in this thread. It's a result of the sloping roofline. In order to hold the weight of an angled hatchback lid, there is no space for a window behind the C pillar, so Honda put a panel over it to make it look like there as a window there when there...
  13. $29k Civic EX Hatchback at my local dealership

    They're not the Prototype Type-R wheels which you can see have more cutaways to reveal the disc brakes: http://www.caricos.com/cars/h/honda/2016_honda_civic_type_r_concept/images/7.html Instead in the USA configurator, if you select the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback, sport trim, you see that...
  14. 2017 Civic Hatchback - Ugly?

    There's been a thread of these Civic Hatches with accessory wheels and underbody kits: http://www.civicx.com/threads/29k-civic-ex-hatchback-at-my-local-dealership.7219/#post-130751 By any chance, did you get a glimpse of the MSRP? Looks like an EX/EX-L w/Navi, instead of the Sport. This one...
  15. $29k Civic EX Hatchback at my local dealership

    Looks like my theory that these are dealer-spec'd cars destined for the showroom floor might be right. @skittles found another example of a 2017 Civic Hatch tricked out inside the dealer's showroom: http://www.civicx.com/threads/2017-civic-hatchback-ugly.7115/page-4#post-130796 Again, it red...
  16. 2017 Civic Hatchback - Ugly?

    (I get what you are saying, after all my 3g Eclipse was a flop. However, it was a flop because of the SOHC V6 from the Galant and other US market cars replaced the 4 cylinder turbo, increased curb weight, and left no room under the hood for anything, even wheels that turn (my turn radius is like...
  17. 2017 Civic Sedan Production Factory Plant - Video

    It's interesting to compare this video to the Hatchback one (albeit that one is slow mo). Things like you mention and more are evidence of the recent $300 million investment in the Swindon UK plant.
  18. 10th gen Civic vs. 2017 Mazda3

    Out of curiosity, did you test drive a 2017 Mazda3 or an earlier model. I read they updated the door pockets and they claimed they improved the NVH (though they made that same claim in the 6, and CR said they didn't notice any improvement). Still no armrest though.
  19. Traction Control

    Great point I overlooked! Another thing to add, in case anyone reading is holding out for the Si or or CTR, is the performance of VSA and torque-vectoring is enhanced if the car has a limited slip differential (or AWD), because the engineers can have the computer fine tune the torque (or...
  20. can't believe the hatch sport touring is gonna be like 28k

    IIRC, Canadian Sport hatch has a lot of features like moonroof, heated seats and mirrors, and upgraded audio, not available in the US Sport. Heck the Canadian LX comes standard with so many features that they don't even bother with an EX model. I imagine it's a combination of the colder weather...
