Hey guys!
My family and I are new to Honda's. We have all owned bmw's forever. My wife and I are expecting our first baby girl and prior to her lease ending we decided to see what else is out there. Neither of us are to interested in the bmw current look.
My current car was a 2007 bmw 335i coupe. It was very well equipped from the oem factory. I pushed that car and it took me through my mid 20's with pleasure. It was a joy to drive that coupe. 6 speed manual, and the hear of the turbo's really made me want to take the long way home.
Well now in the past couple of years, the interest in going fast wasn't interesting to me. I hadn't pushed my car in a while. I was mainly concerned about mpg and smooth driving. I optioned the car to keep it however after the 5th year the maintenance was REALLY adding up. I was used to it already however after losing the interest in speeding, i felt I was getting into a car that wasn't me anymore. I wanted to get a 4 door sedan, with good mpg, stylish, reliable, has luxury options, and known for long life.
Went to check out honda for my wife in november and the civic was GREAT! WE leased her a 2013 EXL. Every chance i could I would drive the car (my wife doesn't drive mine because it's a shift). Every time I enjoyed it more and more. It has JUST THE RIGHT acceleration i wanted, and her gas fill up was HALF the cost of mine. It packed many features and the cost was night and day compared to what we are used to. I made up my choice, i wanted a honda.
When i went to look at them, they told me the 2014 should be out soon. I waiting and saw all the added features. I was exited. The ONLY thing that had me worried was the new CVT engine into it. So i had a choice, 2013 EXL with Nav, or 2014 with Nav. After multiple test drives i decided to go with the 2014!
I am a proud owner of a new 2014 EX-L with Nav. As for the CVT... I love it. I thinks it's a great car. Drives like a beauty. So here are some pics.
PS-I'm not much of a modder anymore if at all. I don't mind doing some minor stuff like weather tech all season floor mats, slash guard. Minor things. But my main thing now is, when oil change time comes around should I go OEM 0w-20 or Mobile1 0w-20 full synthetic. That's what i'm reading about now.
Like reading peoples posts. Don't worry, coming from previous forums, i like to use the "search" a lot. lol. Thanks guys.
oh and the snow blizzard is about to start so the pics have a little bit of snow on the car and it's not fully clean as I just picked it up 2 days ago.
