PRO: Even though lots of other cars have this feature, the back up camera is my favorite upgrade. My last car was the 02 Civic SI with 5% tint all around, so reversing at night included a prayer every time since I could not see anything at all. Now with a rear camera, I have no worries at all so I have become an atheist.

CON: Every since I got the car I noticed a rattle on my left side of the dash. I see that many other hatch owners have the same issue. Every time I drop it to the dealership, they cannot identify the issue. Since it requires a cold start to reproduce, I had to leave it overnight. The next morning they'll give me a call saying they cannot reproduce the problem. Did this twice, then I gave up and just lived with the noise.

On my Si, my favorites are: LaneWatch (I know others feel differently but I feel like I am missing something when I get into any other car now), Sport Seats (incredible), Back up camera with trajectory, keyless entry and auto-locking (despite the auto-lock being finnicky).

Less known features that I appreciate: Ability to change infotainment background and theme, hold "unlock" button on your key for all 4-windows and sunroof to open (usually relegated to only fancy german cars and VW).

I also had a rattle, my dealership re insulated the A pillar, I found that my tweeter on the A pillar was a bit loose.

Damn, I have even showed videos of my dash rattling and reported it each time I brought it in for service and each time they told me that they would need to reproduce it in order to service it. The best they could do at the moment was to just document it.

This dealerspeak for "I don't want to be bothered".

Pros: The dash & interior look nicer than my Dodge Charger. Everything is black in the Charger. The Civic in mostly black, but the headliner & pillars are light colored which makes the cabin look brighter. And the dash has nicer trim.

Cons: The only interior color choice was black. No “real” power passenger seats available. The power passenger seat on the top of the line Touring model only moves forward & backward, there is no height or tilt adjustment. So I bought the next level down.

I love the cruise control system and the button placement on the wheel. It's much easier to use, at least for me, than in any other car I've driven.

TBH my favorite feature on the whole car is Apple Carplay & Waze.

 

[Zcfc3dc5]

On my si I absolutely love the interior. It’s very comfortable. I really like the apple car play and the lane watch as well.

 

[Justin G]

I like beating more expensive cars off the line. So therefore I like the brake launch feature and sport mode and the paddle shifters.

 

[Genuine]

My 3 favorite features are; Apple CarPlay, Heated Seats, and Heated Mirrors.

 

[Gruber]

Definitely none of the above but Auto High Beams. Works great and how could I drive without it before? Very unsafe.

The one I dont’t care about and don’t use is Auto AC. Blows like crazy on cold engine which is stupid.

Those darn rattles. Mine came from the factory with an annoying, non-stop sunroof rattle, and rattles in the A-pillars (both sides). My dealer actually did a great job of fixing the issue and went above and beyond to pad the subwoofer area to eliminate that rattle, too.

I get that annoying feedback buzz from the center speaker others are experiencing in the Si, but it's intermittent and hard to replicate for the dealer.

Agree with everyone else who loves the interior. There's something calming about the design. I've gotten into luxury cars where the materials were obviously nicer but the design didn't flow as well, which made for less relaxing of a drive.

So far no rattles. Hate those. If I had them I would buy a stethoscope to find them. Or turn up the radio which is on all the time. Classical or Opera. Hard to listen at low volume. 2019 Touring. If it starts to rattle I will trade it for a high end car. So far no issues. The car is my sanctuary. Spend two hours a day in her. Call me crazy but it is what it is. A quiet car is my therapy. Cheaper than seeing a shrink.
