It's been almost a year and I noticed that the wiper blades have started to go streaky. They have worked very well until now so instead of replacing the whole blade like I have done in the past; I decided to just replace the inserts. When I went to replace them I looked up a few videos and they...

One of the features missing from the new Civic is a sunglass holder. Fortunately there is something you can do about it. You just have to give up the "oh shit" handle above the driver's door. I bought one of these...

This one will be short and sweet. I bought this 3m gel wrist rest https://www.amazon.com/3M-Leatherette-Antimicrobial-Protection-WR305LE/dp/B0016OV5MQ/ and taped it to the area where my knee hits. I installed it using some 3m double sided tape. Went in easy and fits almost perfect. Looks...

I've been thinking about installing a dashcam for a while, and finally got approval from the wife. I wanted something small and discreet. The most discreet design seemed to be the wedge shaped ones. I also wanted good night time video quality. This pretty much narrowed it down to the Street...

There are a lot of solutions people have tried in order to fix the subwoofer rattle problem in their touring. Some are as simple as padding around the 3rd brake light in the trunk. Others are more extensive and involve removing the rear deck. Materials range from socks to foam to dynamat. I have...

Got the notice in the mail today. I have a touring. I've attached the pdf Here is the English text: February 2016 Product Update: 2016 Civic Audio Amplifier This notice applies to your vehicle: Dear There is a software problem with the audio amplifier that causes no sound from the speakers...

We take a lot of precautions when washing (two bucket method) and other actives to prevent scratching our paint. The standard snow brushes can often undue all this diligence. This time I ordered the sno brum and it cleared off the mountains of snow off the car and seemed gentle enough to not...

In NJ we got over 2 ft of snow. WOP almost gets lost in it. After 2.5 hrs of shoveling

I got a Dayton Audio iMM-6 microphone and installed Audiotool on my Nexus 6 to try analyze and calibrate the speakers in my touring. I've already added foam and dynamat to eliminate the subwoofer rattle. I'm still learning the software, but here are some early measurements. I'd love to see what...

I posted this in the audio/nav/electronics sub but thought it might also be useful here. Here is what the dealer did, putting some foam around the brake light: I bought some foam and dynamat to fix it even better. After the dealer put in some foam around the brake lights it really reduced...

So does this full-on 2016 Civic Touring with its new turbo mill hark back to the nameplate’s fun-to-drive days of yore? Kinda. It’s quick, handles well and the nose points into a bend like a Beagle on the scent, but it’s not the type of Civic that begs to be thrashed. No, this sophisticate...

I just drove home our new touring and used the Nav to get home. It was awfully bright and I realized that the maps were still in day view. I went through the settings and didn't see an way to tell it to use night view. My old standalone Garmin has this. I also didn't see Juctionview maps, but...

We will be picking up our new Civic Wed night. It's white orchid pearl. It is supposed to be around 60f on Friday so I plan to give it a proper cleaning to start things off right and prepare it for the winter. I am thinking the following: 1. Wash 2. Clay 3. Mother's Micro-polishing glaze (step...

I guess because the car is so new, Tirerack does't have any winter tire/wheel packages for the 2016 Civic (at least for touring). I'm assuming 16" tires will be fine. What winter tires did you go with and what size?

Care to share what you got? How much? Where?

Background: Our current vehicle is an 09 Civic EX. My wife (primary driver) has been making noise about getting a new car for the past year or so, citing a need for better acceleration for merging and higher seating position. She wanted something between a sedan and an SUV. I prefer being closer...

"2016 marks the start of the tenth generation Honda Civic, an affordable compact car that has grown from an upstart economy car to a world dominator in its class. Even though the Civic may have stumbled the past ten years with conservative designs, less-than-inspiring performance and lagging...

I've read some reviews that say it's .7" lower than the previous gen, others that say 1". Does anyone know the exact ground clearance? My wife wants an SUV for our next car. If I can convince her that the new Civic isn't too low I might be able to get away with slapping some snow tires on it.
