It’s lighter than all previous equivalent trims by a good margin. Also, it’s a K20 4-cyl, I’m not worried about stress on the engine. That new 10-speed transmission, however... who knows.

CR-Z anyone? Slower, less equipped and barely more efficient than a Civic 1.5T

Probably, but he’s completely right. You gotta understand the route and not give blind faith to a navigational aid.

So perhaps he liked things more beautiful than his wife also.

Get her an EX-T and save the cash. Not ragging on your wife, but I have good feeling that the differences won’t be noticed.

Yes, those pieces are held in with push clips, you don’t even need much more than a flat blade screw driver or your car keys.

There it is. Heavy machinery needs more intensive regular maintenance and costs more to replace. Necessitates a closer relationship between the engineers and the customer and/or service technicians. Saw the same thing with military vehicles/systems. Some awful designs out in that industry, but design for service was…

All Hondas were like that back then. But then again, why would you be turning off the master switch for the cruise ever? The cancel/set accel/decel buttons are the only ones you should be touching while driving, I honestly don’t know why you’d ever want the feature disabled. At least it stays on or off depending on…

Fun fact: Factoid means it’s a false statement presented as a fact. That’s not what you meant.

hmm, panthercougar... I’m guessing Ford? I guess you could get the passenger version of the Transit Connect micro-van.

Considering that neither Toyota nor Honda have a high performance sports car within the reach of the every man is a bit disheartening.

No, but the Elio carries the illusion of safety. It’s fairly obvious on a motorcycle that there’s no protection from your environment.

Yes, well you flatlanders got an actual winning Cubs team this year and the Blackhawks generally have been great. Please let us revel in what little victory we get.

Beloved by Minnesota?

Always.

Damn you people! go back your shanties.

Fine, we’ll get a silicone one.

When I bought my Si I had the dealer remove that decal from both sides. I’m sure the person who bought it used doesn’t even know it was supposed to be there.

I’m glad you chimed in with that, no one seems to understand BSFC and it’s a shame. CVTs and the 7+ speed transmissions out there are trying to keep the motor inside that red patch as much as possible.
