    2012 Honda Civic Final Development For WTCC

    Wish they sold the hatch in Canada, throw in the direct injected turbo and I'd buy 2! LOL.... If they called it the CRX I am sure it would sell like hotcakes....

    Possible look at the 2013 refresh

    Just looking at a Brazilian car mag with the 2012 Civic, the front bumper cover was the same as my EX sedan. The new - and nicer - front bumper cover pictured in the earlier post must be a current model year adjustment. I wonder if anyone will make this cover available as an accessory for the...

    Honda Concept C & S Vehicles For Chinese Market

    I like the look of the C personally...at least I'd take it over the Detroit Accord coupe concept. I even like what they did with the front unlike some others here. Obviously, the front grille insert is not functional and the hood could lose a few creases, but overall it looks like it has lots of...

    Possible look at the 2013 refresh

    Hi Guys, I think it is just 2012 civic in a different look....The trunk reflectors (not lights) are seen in many countries, i.e. Brazil, already. As you can see the from the picture, the 2012 Brazilian model already has a nicer front bumper and lower fascia with the chrome bezels around the fog...

    What Kind Of Bulbs?

    Anyone just try changing the stock bulbs to something whiter? I am thinking of going more towards 6k colour temperature. Anybody try Putco bulbs ( i.e. Ion Spark colour) and do you recommend them? I would consider HID but my 2012 EX 5 speed sedan is a lease.... Thanks!

    Thanks, she is like new again...had her up on the highway and cut around a bit to make sure all was good. Alignment is dead on, so overall I am happy. Will get some pics up when I get back home from Brazil. She is black with foglights, decklid spoiler and tinted windows. Just need the Si type...

    2012 Civic MPG - share your current gas mileage

    I had a 2005 Hyundai Tuscon 2.7 V6-4wd, only got around 11 mpg in the winter where city mileage was rated at 19. That's 73% worse! I was pissed off big time, my 5.7 Hemi 4x4 Dodge Ram got around 14-15 mpg in the city! For comparison my 2012 Honda Odyssey EX is currently averaging 15 l /100km...

    Interior Quality (Pros - Cons)

    Got my Civic back mid January...total damage was around $8500 and looking good. I had a Nissan Versa as a rental while waiting. What a piece of crap, driving on the highway on a windy day, I could hardly keep her in the right lane! I have a new appreciation for how good the Civic is...I did...

    Thanks Iain, Appreciate the time you took...I should have my car back in a week or do. Quote was 8k plus for the repairs, only bumper with clips and brackets, fog lights, airbag, paint, etc... I am a little concerned that there are no suspension parts or anything other than exterior included...

    Well, the wife says it is worse than the pictures appear underneath...I just don't want to take out the option of early exchange as the trade in value will take a serious hit!

    Interior Quality (Pros - Cons)

    Here are couple of pics of the damage...ACE body structure holds up pretty well for a frontal collision with an oncoming vehicle. The Saturn she hit has significant damage. I hope it gets written off to to airbag deployment, seat belt replacement and structural damage.

    Not pics yet, I am offshore Brazil. Will post some if I can get em! Guess I can cancel getting an Si style front grille for Xmas to go with my decklid spoiler and fog lights! hahaha!

    Interior Quality (Pros - Cons)

    Ha! Not entirely related to the thread... PRO - Crashability...my wife had a collision today and the Civic has front end damage, air bags deployed...hopefully a write off. More importantly, she is fine aside from scratched face from airbag deployment. It is always preferable to walk...

    I had an 08 EX-L V6 PMM 6 speed manual with HFP Aero kit and rear spoiler. When the car seats are gone I am going to revert to something sportier like Si or Accord Coupe. Wish they had the European Civic hatchback in North America! They actually get to keep the LED lights... Don't you just hate...

    Ipod theft!

    07LTX, had my windows tinted too and ipod stored inside the bin between the front seats out of sight... Usually lock my doors but we had a long day on the road visiting family and forgot to check. Bonehead move, bad luck...but worse things could happen than losing an ipod. I am thinking about...

    Interior Quality (Pros - Cons)

    To clarify, the door only creaks when I rest my elbow on the door as I always do when I drive. There are absolutely no panel, suspension, etc..squeaks or creaks in general driving conditions. It has never been an issue for me before, even in my 1993 Mazda 323 hatchback. LOL. Next time you are...

    Interior Quality (Pros - Cons)

    Thanks KennyGS, A couple more... PRO - The actual shifter knob is nicer in the 2012 compared to my 07 coupe. It is now rounded...I think before it had a somewhat squarer profile. CON - Not a fan of the angled stereo console. Some people (myself included) don't mind sharing the controls...
