    Let's discuss Summer tires

    Whoa - It's been a long time since I've been in one but aren't you comparing $22,000 Apples (Our's was $21,970) to $36 - 45,000 Oranges?

    What do you think about this?

    They have the weight wrong. The '16 Ex-T Sedan is spec'd at 2899# - the '12- Sedan is 22-30# heavier than the coupe, 5 gallons of gas is 30# = 2900# - add the driver and you're carrying 3010-3100 pounds. Punch that into your VBOX and I'm betting the '16 turbo is very close to .5 seconds slower...

    Let's discuss Summer tires

    "...ridiculously hard ride"? Our '12 Si, while not as smooth as the Ex we test drove, is not unpleasant even on the washboard part of Rt 8 in Lanesborough. The only times the wife complained was when we hit a 4 inch pavement transition straight on going 30 mph and the time we hit a pothole at...

    Interior rattles

    Our '12 Si has had a creak/squeak near the driver's side windshield/doorframe interface since new - Thank goodness it only occurs when it's below freezing and goes away about the time the Cold light goes out.

    What do you think about this?

    And just where did they get a production 2016 Civic Coupe to test?

    Heater issue

    Cold light going off quickly (at normal time) implies there is coolant around the thermostat and that the thermostat is closed when the engine/coolant is cold. It's unlikely the STOCK thermostat would close normally when cold and then open fully. Are there any indications that the cooling...

    Heater issue

    Our Si COLD light turns off within a mile and blows warm, not hot within 1 - 2 miles 3 - 4 minutes and hot within 5 miles even when in single digits, would think 1.8L would be similar. If your 10-15 minutes is for the COLD light to extinguish then a stuck thermostat or lack of coolant in...

    Clutch buzzing sound

    Whining in reverse is normal since day one for both our Civics - 2012 Si & '98 Ex, both manual shift - believe it's normal for all stick-shift Civics.

    Tiburon? It may look like one, hopefully it won't perform like one.

    What type of gas do you use?

    Interesting that Honda makes no mention of damaging the vehicle by (my words) reasonably making sure the tank is full. There is mention of letting the auto-shutoff do its thing and allowing for expansion but nothing about damaging the evaporation system, I'm talking about charcoal filters, etc...

    What type of gas do you use?

    I'm the opposite - I always reduce fuel rate as I approach full in case an unfamiliar pump overfills (I hate when my shoes get splashed) - then, because I hand calculate my mpg, do one extra slo-fill. It usually results in an extra .1 gallon (ie 20 - 50 cents (boy is California resort gas...

    2016 Honda Civic Pricing & Info Released

    Anyone else having trouble getting the Build feature to work? I can't get any transmission dropdowns to show a selection (the dropdown is blank). It did work once while I was taking the Honda Survey; but then it crashed my PC. I've tried using IE 11 and Google Chrome.

    Unable to buckle rear seat belt

    Any chance you're trying to connect the right-side outboard buckle to the center latch? My memory is it won't, so you can't cross-connect the passenger and center belts when both positions are occupied.

    Brake assist

    This is a new feature on the 2015 Civics. The reverse comment is for backing up a hill, not stopping then starting on a downhill - but, I agree it shouldn't be mentioned as someone will try it - and I hope we're not behind them! The 2016's will have a Brake Hold feature button on the console...

    You are at their mercy

    Sad commentary on your idea of buying a vehicle. Try posting on another site. On this site we like our cars and my spouse and I for one had a very positive experience buying and enjoying our Si.
