Consider making these points to the Administrator, Judge or Arbitrator
I’m a member of the class and subclass, have lost 25% of former fuel efficiency and significant power to accelerate, and am quite unhappy with the pittance proposed in the settlement. I offer some constructive points to write to the Administrator about. If many of us send complaints about the proposed settlement that focus on our need to be made whole, to receive the benefit of the bargain we made with ... Read More

Do NOT buy the 2012 Civic
I just read the yahoo article on the failing new Civic. It's nice to see the company is getting the recognition it deserves! When Honda was on top putting out quality automobiles the reviews & slaes showed. Now that the 2012 Civic falls on its face with reduced interior quality, recall due to fuel leaks & a dated exterior (the back end reminds me of the early 2000's Camry) it's only ... Read More

Re: 2005 hch IMA batteries [ativar]
2003-2005 Civics are a different car than 2006-2009 Civics. The "update" that the 2006-2009 owners are having trouble with is not the same as the maintenance update they put in your car. The latest update for the 2003-2005 Civics concentrates on keeping the battery half full. Gas mileage is affected slightly if you tend to drive fast or lots of local driving or lots of acceleration (if your battery isn't normally ... Read More

Re: 2006 Honda Civic with 100k miles-Worth it? [isellhondas]
I had a 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 with leather, it was a great driving car but it developed a leak from the engine block(a somewhat common problem). The fix for this problem was rather interesting, they would pull the engine and apply JB-Weld to the outside of the block(I'm not joking this was the fix by the dealership). The interesting thing is that since my car was out of warranty ... Read More

Re: Another Unhappy HCH Owner [brian2007]
2007 HCH Owner: What Honda is doing with this battery issue is criminal. I mean literally criminal - it is fraud. I'm not a lawyer, but really, what else can you call it. I get recals constantly.

Another Unhappy HCH Owner
I'm also having troubles with my 2009 Civic Hybrid especially after the "update". Bought the car new ~7/2009 (37 miles) and had nothing but great things to say until receiving a software update in February 2011. I saw solid MPG all over the local Tucson area averaging 47-52 all year, on long drives to Phoenix (about 100 miles of flat 75 mph interstate) I saw 55-60 MPG consistently even on days ... Read More

Re: Another Unhappy HCH Owner [ttomaka]
I have to disagree. I have a 06' Civic Hybrid. I bought it in spring of 2010 with 36K on it. Last winter the IMA light came on and they issued the update, that I didn't want. It of course didn't really fix the problem, it just masked it. Ever since then recals have become more and more frequent. I've complained, and complained, and complained to Honda however, without an IMA ... Read More

Just check all of your fluid levels before you drive it. Make sure the tires are at the right pressure. Immediatly get all of the fluids changed including brake fluid and engine coolant, transmission fluid etc. It should be fine.

Re: IMA Light With Latest Software Update [viaw]
Craigs List solved my Insight IMA battery problem. I bought a 2000 Insight and went through 5 battery replacements by the dealer. The battery went again outside warranty.

The car sat in our garage and we drove out 1985 Civic (a very dependable car). A friend of ... Read More

Regarding the software update for a 2009. 2009-2011 cars came from the factory with this upgrade already installed. Whatever they applied was an upgrade,but not THIS upgrade.

2009 honda civic lx 2 door auto
I have never heard of lifetime warranty on a car before, but the price is pretty good. If this includes ttl and dealer fees. extended warranties can run from $800 to $2000 depending on the coverage type. Dealers are trying to get rid of the 09's, but because of c4c there is low inventory.

Re: Did I massively overpay for my new Honda Civic Hybrid? [bradzepfan]
I just got the civic hybrid w/ leather and nav two days ago at an orange county dealer (OC Honda World). I didn't add any extra warranty stuff. The price was $23666 + 595 acquisition fee. They told me the price was $2000 under invoice because of incentives from Honda that were good thru May 4.

Re: 2009 Honda Civic EX Sedan with Navi - Automatic [isellhondas]

I own a 99 honda civic ex w/ 69,585 miles on it. When I asked how much a could sell it for, the mechanic told me that the brake lines were rusted and they're difficult to repair because of where they're located....and basically offered me $2000 for it. Now, I didn't ask him how much he'd give me for it, I just wanted to know how much to sell it for. ... Read More

Re: Honda Civic Prices [redredrabbit]
This is what it was valid until July 6. “$500 for Sedan (DX_VP, DX, LX-S, LX); $750 for Sedan (EX,EX-L,Si); $1000 for Coupe; $2000 for Hybrid Sedan.” I also read on the Accord forum that the cash to dealer incentive cannot be combined with the special financing as of today. But don’t quote me on this.

Rear Torque Mounts, front sway bar bushings, emissions cleaning
Upon going for a routine oil change, my mechanic told me that my 2000 Honda Civic EX coupe needed new Rear Torque Mounts, front sway bar bushings and an emissions system cleaning.

My experience purchasing 2009 Civic EX sedan automartic with Navi

With destination I paid 19,700. What really got me to purchase from these folks (Honda of Rock HIll, SC) was they offered me $1000 more on my 2001 caddy than any other dealer who ... Read More

2009 Civic, first oil change
Is there really something "special" about the oil that comes in a new Civic? And what is it that is so "special" about it? I don't think the first oil change is called for until 7500 miles. I have always done much more agressive oil changes on new engines (500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 and every 5000 miles after that), but have been warned off of this for a Honda. ... Read More

Re: 2009 Civic LX Sedan Lease Deal [sd83srr]

I negotiated the price below the deal ($2000 down, $189/month BEFORE taxes and fees), but the dealers were receiving incentives from Honda for leasing the Civic until May 4th. The saleswoman who leased me my car told me that Honda is likely going to reduce their incentives for May and June, meaning the price ... Read More

Re: Leasing prices on 09 Civic LX-S, EX-L [Car_man]
Car_man, do you know if the additional volume-based dealer program that kicks in an additional $500 is still effective through 5/4/09 for Honda Civic Hybrid leases? This $500 is in addition to the nationally advertised $2000 dealer cash available on Civic Hybrids through 5/4/09. Just wondered if the extra $500 offer expired at the end of April (4/30/09).

Re: Are you delaying your Honda Civic purchase? [chintan32]
Edmunds reports that dealers have $2000 in "marketing support". How can a buyer use this in negotiations? Does it affect the current terms of the lease? I question this because I have negative equity, and if a dealer could pay this off using the $2000, I would be in a better position to consider the special lease offer.

The test drive went well, we received a price below $2000 below MSRP and were treated well throughout the experience. Anyone in Fort Collins looking ... Read More

Run from that deal a.s.a.p.,I would be looking for at least $2000.00 off sticker,also do not pay for dealer added package(wheel locks,car wash, b.s.) As far as interest rates with good credit 36 months you should look for low 5,maybe mid to upper 5 with 48 months. Shop it on line with multiple dealers,make sure you tell them to include dest. charge,or they will stick you. Also tell them to respond ... Read More

2008 Civic Engine Revving/Noise?
Hi All, I've driven my '08 Civic LX for less than 200-300 miles and I'm still not used to the sounds of the VTEC system. First, the rpm randomly shifts from 1500/2000 to 3000 when going up and down hills - and even sometimes when accelerating on the highway. I did some research and I believe this is the Grade Logic Control/Transmission kicking in to cause engine breaking [though I have ... Read More
