Bruh, mid 90s civic was the best looking civic. 

I prefer the boring to whatever abomination that last style was. I thought the new Civic might be an acceptable fallback for a next car in the likely event that I hate everything else, but I guess that’s out. It’s bad enough that everyone is dumping manuals, but the worst of all is the horrid CVTs they went with. And,…

Pretty significant about-face from the current model. It’s nice, bordering on boring, in some trims.  And that has to be Honda’s nicest interior. It’ll be interesting to see the hatch, and the more performance oriented trims. I’m guessing it’ll look quite good. It’s definitely matured, and I’ll maintain the best…

In the two years of ownership I had with my brand new 2002 GTI, I can say it did not have any sunroof issues.... Coilpack, subframe, brake switch, brakes, those I had issues with.

The Mini was replaced by a Subaru, that was replaced by a Mazda3, that was replaced by a GTI (which I still have), but I got an S model with no sunroof, lol

Seems to me the lesson here is never get a sunroof.

Oh, absolutely. I have done this before.

“Well, since your obviously dumbass insured caused this, and it’s your job to make me whole again, the cost to settle will be $X”

Important to remember, you NEVER have to accept the first offer the insurance company gives you.  It is exactly that, an offer.  You can negotiate…

Untrue. Standard auto policies have boilerplate exclusion language around speed contests and racing. This arguably could be considered as such and may get a denial.

Yup. I wanted to like it because I’ve driven Hondas for a long time. But I couldn’t, so I got a GTI.

I don’t know.  I would likely have bought an SI, but I couldn’t stomach the styling as a grownup

Looks more like a grown-up car now vs. the boy-racer-ish looks of the last gen.

I wanted a Fit several years ago, and the dealers said "We don't stock them because we cannot sell them," making a chicken and egg problem. I figure the margin was less so they didn't want to bother, so now we all get CRVs. Yay.

I blame the dealers. I had 2 different dealers tell me that Honda no longer made the Fit a few years ago. They were both full of shit at the time obviously (either that or they were from the future). At one dealer I even passed by 4 brand new Fits in their parking garage. One tried to push me towards the Civic and the…

thats a weird ass nose.  

And the current Civic is bigger than Accords from 15 years ago.

They work as they should till they break. Parts availability is a nightmare according to service tech’s. We went with Whirlpool for our new refrigerator and GE for the washer/dryer set. All apparently have parts inventories in America. Availability of the units was a big problem. Factory shutdowns due to The Plague…

Well GE appliances aren’t the same GE appliances they were a decade ago.

This is fantastic. I used to work in Maytag Engineering testing refrigerators and components. Maytag only exists as a name belonging to Whirlpool now. In the 80's and early 90's we built the Maytag of refrigerators. You could buy one and be comfortable knowing they would last 30 years or more. This GE is the same way.…

I was shopping refrigerators early last year, and stores weren’t even offering warranties on the the LG/Samsung fridges. There must be something inherently wrong with them. 

I don’t understand the GE diss either. Never had a problem with them. Can’t say the same for today’s wave of LG / Samsung which are terrific until they’re not which based on the experience of many friends is not all that far removed from purchase.
