  no sales tax, but income state tax here is very high. I'd rather pay tax on things I actually buy than just have a bunch of money taken out of my paycheck just to make up for it. How were you able to talk them down to $16,800? That's such a good price, great job on that deal!

  This is just my personal preference, but I did all my negotiating via email. The dealerships that wouldn't give me a quote via email and/or insisted that I come in got scratched off the list. That was really my previous point... With so many Honda dealers in the DFW area, you can be picky about who you deal with and on what terms.

  I've purchased both a Civic and a Pilot in the past few years in DFW. Both times, Rusty Wallis had the lowest quote. We purchased the Civic there. On the Pilot, we got a dealer closer to us (Huggins) to price match. As you probably know, you've got quite a few Honda dealerships to choose from in the metroplex. I'd contact them all!

  I have no problems with my 2013 Civic breaks, in fact it's a little on the sensitive side. There are certain quirks, like the traction control comes on automatically on start, which means I would have to switch it off manually whenever I don't need it.; and that's pretty much all the time. Sounds like your vehicle is well within the warranty period. I would bring it back to the dealership ... Read More

It does not eliminate all road noise, but it is significantly (about 60 - 75%) quieter than the previous version - I'm cool with that. I also like the fact the driver seat can be raised manually.

  @mylt4, I was in a similar situation a few years ago when I bought a new corolla for my older daughter. The lesson learned is that when you buy brand new cars for young drivers, the insurance goes through the roof (mine went from about ~$1000/yr to ~$2500/yr, with the addition of 3rd car for my daughter) and you have to be prepared for some dings and dents at the school. ...

  backy has good advice. The only thing against getting a recent Civic or Fit is that they hold their value so well in the first few years that you almost might as well get a new one.

I'll throw out one more to look at...Hyundai Elantra. Should be priced about the same as Civic, I'd dare to say it's better, and much longer warranty.
