Hey guys, new member here from SoCal but I've had my car for about a month now with a bit less of 800 miles. Well a few things about me is that I'm a first year college student, attending CSUSB in the fall, majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. Before I got the civic I drove a 1996 Honda Accord EX passed down from my dad when he got a White 2011 Honda Accord EX-L. Well because the civic was constantly needing repairs, we decided to get a new car, and you can't believe how happy I was! So we purchased a Civic EX Sedan PMM, for about 21,000 ( Rounded Price ) OTD. All of our cars had tinted windows, but I couldn't stop there! I actually got the Si Spoiler installed on because I love how the spoiler looks on the sedan. Then I got some new wheels, had a tough time choosing but I decided to go with XXR 530 18x7.5. In the future I'm looking to get yellow fog lights, red emblems, getting lowered, and HID lights, but I'm in no rush :yum: . Sorry for the long intro, but I hope to get to know all of you guys!

First day I drove her :dance:


Washed my car after I washed my dad's car in the back :yum:


Gloomy days :thumbsup:

Welcome :wavey: I looked at the pictures before reading your intro and thought you may have traded up for a Si. The spoiler is a nice touch on the non-Si, I like it!

I love Si's but supposedly insurance would of been higher, maybe in the near future. I also like the MPG, but for some reason I'm only getting 25.7? I would say 40% City and 60% highway when I commute to college. Any ideas why? Probably wheels?

I like the Si, but I LOVE my R18. I need the MPGs more right now. I've seen a few people, including my GF, with AT 9th gens experience poor gas mileage. We have yet to figure out her gas mileage issue, but she's almost at 30 MPG. My MT is currently averaging 35-36 MPG, 80-90% highway though.

It really sucks that R18 sedans aren't available in stick. I would've gotten it. Got the sedan cause I'm planning to keep this car for a while and I love having people in my car to go places :), but the mpg really bums me out because it was said to get what? 28 city mpg? and I'm not even getting that!
