still slightly odd they take google/apple pay stuff, because from what I've read their rates are not cheap for processing

Oh wow... Glad I don't have a wife like that lol
Mine is frugal like me and talks herself out of buying things (like me) and does a ton of research for things lol
Yeah definitely agree with you.
I was just messing with @stilletto . I know there are other companies but most of the time all I see is Visa.
^ Yup.

She used it for everyday things. Just never paid it off. She's pretty frugal as well.

Damn....6 spd? I didn't think that Gen of TL even had a 6 spd.@ethlar - I don't like the style of this generation but it's a 6-speed.
What do you think it will go for?I'm curious.

Also, who still uses a debit card? With all the data breaches from all these big companies(that we hear of), its an easy way to get your bank account drained and not get your money back. Or at least harder to get it back.
We use 1 CC mainly and get over $1000 a year in cash back rewards. We have a Target card and Lowes card. Wife has another CC for her work expenses.

2025 Civic Hybrid.....not bad. Nice move by Honda to make it in a hatch. Then toss in the same power as an Si???? and a more Tq???? It's not the death of the Si but man....Honda NEEEEEEDS to bump up the power figures on the Si. They really needed to boost them like 10 years ago, lol
Front end changes are better?
Honda mated its 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle inline-4 engine with an electric motor to deliver 200 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque. Of those 200 ponies, the gas engine is responsible for 150 of them. That’s the same amount of power as the Civic Si sedan but the Hybrid provides 40 more lb-ft, though the Si is still the best option for folks who like to row their own gears as the Hybrid only comes with a CVT. But, the Civic Hybrid also comes in a hatchback, while the Si is sedan-only. You can have a manual, or five doors, but you can’t have both.

If what I’m seeing is accurate, the hybrid adds 300-350lbs over the si curb weight, and then it comes in a cvt.

not sure about the weight but prob correct on both. I just was that the Si available in only 4 colors. Red, White, Black and a Gray. Meh....
I guess if your shopping for an Si, you're prob not cross shopping with a hybrid. But I'm guess I'm just pointing out the "lack" of power on a sports car that is supposed to be for the enthusiast.

but thats been the si formula for a while, slightly higher power than the base model but its still an econo car. just did a quick search and the internet says the 10th gen si made 205 hp and the 11th makes 200... thats weird though.

That's a weird situation. Job security for the techs though.

I wonder what the actual fix is? I read that Toyota found out it was excessive debris in the motors from assembly/breaking in.
I guess they have to do an engine tear down? Hence why dealers don’t want them?

It says they’re replacing them with a new long block. What a mess for owners though

Are they no longer offering that Civic Sport config for manual with a hatch? It's not an Si, but it's something.
