Re: Mazda3 vs. Honda Fit??? [tacostand]

Written by: backy on Sep 18, 2008 07:52 AM

As you've already realized I think, it comes down to a car you prefer driving more vs. fuel economy, and maybe reliability (although the 3 has been pretty reliable and is a mature design, while the Fit is a brand-new design and new Honda designs are not unknown to have teething pains, cf. 2006 Civic). So do the math, figure out how much more the gas for the 3 will cost ... Read More...

2009 Honda Civic

Re: Automatics in the Civics [heybroder]

Written by: thegraduate on Aug 25, 2008 09:31 PM

My mother had an '08 Corolla brand new and right off the bat, she started having problems with the automatic transmission. Interesting that I don't see too many '09 Corollas on the road! Keep up the great work HONDA!!! It is the number 3 or 4 vehicle in terms of sales; you just don't see them because they are so new, i'd guess. I notice at least one a day on my relatively ...

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say, in response to your assertion that a Civic will be more reliable than a Scion. So I will clarify: both Honda and Scion (and its parent Toyota) have excellent reliability records. If there is any evidence to say that the Civic will be significantly more reliable than a Scion, I haven't seen it. But feel free to provide ... Read More...

2008 Honda Civic Problems and Repairs

Regarding the AC issues

Written by: targettuning on Aug 29, 2008 04:19 AM

We bought a 2006 Civic EX sedan new in Oct 2005 and while the AC seems to work well at cruise speeds I too have noticed the compressor cut off at idle (as in waiting at stop lights) and it will start to blow warm to hot air out the vents. Apparently Honda has only now addressed the problem with this TSB and dealers are still trying to convince owners this is "normal". It ... Read More...

Re: 2007 Honda Civic Tire Problems [bquigley125]

Written by: leavenfish1 on Aug 25, 2008 10:48 AM

Forgive my ignorance: 2006 EX 4D. I am about to replace my tires - 46k - If I replace them and then mention the TSB, will a dealer perform the TSB for the uneven/rapid tire ware or will he need to check for tire ware on the new tires...before I eventually rotate them? Also, in the difference between a recall and a TSB, will you be out of pocket for a TSB repair itself? Read More...

My 2006 Civic has 55,000 miles on it and when I parked the car yesterday steam came out from under the hood. I had a local mechanic check it and found out my block was cracked (defective casting). I had it towed to the dealer and was told there is a recall on water pump bolts coming loose and leaking water. In my case the block was cracked and the head of service wanted me ... Read More...
