Re: Front Range Dealership - Service on IMA battery [papaobewan]
Great to hear your dealer did an excellent job. My only question is did they install the new Lithium battery pack or is it the nickel-metal? I would hate to see you have a repeat like I am having. I bought my HCH in Feb 09 and battery had to be replaced in Dec 09. Dec 2010 battery problem again. Software after software updates, still get poor mpg's. When I first ... Read More

Front Range Dealership - Service on IMA battery
Front Range Honda Dealership of Colorado Springs has made my experience quite remarkable! Went in on Monday 12-26-2011, today 12-30-2011 received my Honda Civic Hybrid (HCH) back new batteries installed, they provided me with a rental car during my wait! So overall I have to give Scott the ASM Auto service Manage and Clayton Davis (the auto representative in shop) two thumbs up! They discovered my claim to be true (the ... Read More

Re: 2012 Civic LX NJ [ken117]
Before you accuse him for paying a $400 dealer fee, you need to get your facts straight. Basically he's paying $16,700 plus $400 for a total of $17,100 for a 2012 Honda Civic LX automatic. Check all posts in this forum and no other people came even close to that number. It's just how dealers work their numbers so they can put that $400 in their pockets instantly. $17,100 is the ...

IMA Battery - 2009 Civic Hybrid
12.28.2011 I am taking my 2009 Civic Hybrid into to John Eagle Honda in Dallas, TX today. Same IMA issue as others have noted, except my mileage is only 42,000. I will let everyone know the dealer's response as it unfolds. My Owner's Manual warranty says Honda pays for only 60% of the new battery cost after 36 months and that I must pay the cost of installation. I bought the ... 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

15" Tires/Wheels
Hate that Honda went down to 15" rolling stock from the 16" on the previous generation...love my 16"ers on my '06 LX...a composed, smooth ride and much better than my kids 15" ones on their cars. Honda needs to find other places to cut costs. Also don't like the steering wheel or the cheapy looking wheel covers. Do like the alloys on the higher trim levels though, much better than the ...

I traded it in for a fully loaded 2011 Camry Hybrid. It is much more comfortable and quiter than the cheaper small Civic Hybrid. The big difference was getting 37.5 mpg on the highway, and 35.6 driving around town. This is with the normal ... Read More

2012 Honda Civic LX

Yes, this is the cracked block issue that is well documented on 06-08 Civics. It became a large enough issue that Honda of America issued an extended engine warranty for just this reason. You, as a registered owner, should have received a copy of this, I received one in the January/February 2011 time frame. It basically extends the engine warranty 3 years beyond the expiration of the original engine warranty (60K ... Read More

Re: Elanta 2011 vs Civic 2012 [targettuning]
I guess you are determined that Hondas suffer more hail damage than other cars do. Think whatever you want. I'm retired and have no skin in the game. I think if the sheet metal were measured for thickness they would probably be close to the same. All modern cars have tinfoil for sheetmetal now. They do this to reduce weight and to insure the crumple zones work as they should.

Re: Elanta 2011 vs Civic 2012 [rustum]
How is 148 hp and 29/40 mpg from the same displacement as the Civic's engine inferior? Cheapening of the Civic's interior has been going on for several generations. But it's not just Honda doing it. Unfortunately for Honda, several competitors such as Chevy, Ford, Mazda, and Hyundai have stepped up their game interior-wise while Honda has been cutting corners.

Re: Elanta 2011 vs Civic 2012 [faircomparo]
Inside line did the comparison. They clear indicated Civic is still the best in terms of Engine and suspension. But Honda is falling behind price per content spec. I am kinda bit disappointed in Elantra in that comparison. It is time for Hyundai to get Engine and Suspension as good as Honda. Honda may be trying to compete with the price by cheapening interior.

Re: Elanta 2011 vs Civic 2012 [faircomparo]
If it were your intent to do a "fair comparo", per your handle, you would have compared the Civic EX to the Elantra Limited instead of the GLS.

You might have found the Elantra Limited to be a better handler than the GLS, with ... Read More

Re: Elanta 2011 vs Civic 2012 [targettuning]
About ten years ago, a freak hailstorm hit our area. It missed our store but hit a nearby Honda dealer. Cars were literally parked side by side.

I had a 2006 Civic and I currently have a 2005 Accord. The Civic had a misdesigned rear suspension and that had to be replaced at 65000 miles. Honda agreed to pay half of that. My 2006 was a coupe, which I thought was a nice looking car. I sold it and kept the Accord. I did not like the 2006-2011 four door design. I hate the look of the 2012 ... Read More

Re: Elantra 2011 vs Civic 2012 [isellhondas]
You are clearly still a "Honda" person who is living in the past. Wake up. There is no longer a "stigma" in buying a Korean car... except maybe in your mind and in the minds of your buddies at the Honda store. Have you noticed that the new Hyundais are selling for near MSRP these days? How does that equate with stigma? How does that equate with low resale value? What ... Read More

Re: Elantra 2011 vs Civic 2012 [backy]
Since I pushed the retirement button last year I have no "skin in the game" so please don't jump back at me for being a Honda person. Today I was in my old store having my oil changed and one of my buddies handed me the keys to a 2012 Civic LX and said " let's go!" And so we did. I didn't see any of the cheapness someone mentioned about ... Read More

Re: Elantra 2011 vs Civic 2012 [backy]
OK, going back to the Honda site I have found that it is the same size (1.8 liter), has the same horsepower (140) and torque (128 lb-ft) the same configuration (SOHC i-VTEC) BUT the site states it has "many friction reducing and airflow improvements" so maybe not totally the same but...close enough! Honda credits improvements in fuel economy to "Weight-saving technologies, improved aerodynamics and engine modifications result in a new Civic ... Read More

Re: Elantra 2011 vs Civic 2012 [targettuning]
While you're making corrections, note that the 2012 Civic's powertrain can't be exactly like 2006-11, or the FE numbers wouldn't be any better than for 2011. But they are. So Honda must have tweaked the powertrain for 2012 even if the engine size, HP, and number of cogs in the tranny are the same.

Re: Elantra 2011 vs Civic 2012 [lcw1]
No, the 2012 Civic IS a refreshed 2006-11 model in that is has the exact same drivetrain (engine and transmission, a 5 speed auto. at that as others such as the Elantra have moved on to a 6 speed) as the prior generation. Many of the body panels were revised somewhat as were the grill and headlights. Same with the rear tailights and bumper. The interior was refreshed as well with ... Read More

Re: 2012 Honda Civic LX Sedan versus 2011 [csell]
The 2012 Civic price was $17800.00 at Gurnee Honda. Did'nt like the 2012, looks cheap and the quality of materials are bad. Cost cutting is evident. I'm going to buy a Chev Cruse, much better car for the money.

Re: Elantra 2011 vs Civic 2012 [lcw1]
I believe the Elantra has a spare tire (although it probably is the compact spare as is the Civic's). As for a "remote trunk key" I assume you mean a remote trunk release on the key fob? If so, well yes, the Civic does have a remote trunk release on the fob BUT, if I am not mistaken only the top line EX and above models have that feature. That was ... Read More

Re: Elantra 2011 vs Civic 2012 [yysyys]
Easy does it. There is no way this article can be viewed as objective. These are new cars and aside from the looks you can't predict their performance . Besides, looks are subjective. I test drove the Elantra and the Civic but the test drive did not persuade me to choose one over the other. One can point out that the Honda is more expensive but it also comes with a ... Read More

Re: 2012 Honda Civic LX Sedan versus 2011 [vagabondchef]

Never rush into a car purchase if the price isn't right. Just remember, Honda can ask whatever they want...no one ... Read More
