When the a/c Compressor is running the revs drop at like 2x speed. I've had a rough shift or 2 because of it. I guess that's what you get for having a super light flywheel and programmed rev hang on a tiny engine being lugged down by a compressor intermittently. Does it make me hate the car? No...
I test drove an 08 tsx 6mt back in 2015 so there's definitely some memory fog but the integra feels much bigger inside to me. Both of my kids are in booster seats and I'm over 6 ft of leg. With the driver seat all the way back as I drive, there's no issue with either child riding behind me. A...
The tank is so small because packaging. The car was designed around the 1.5t and the range in that is adequate. More boost and more displacement makes the tank shorter lived. These companies aren't thinking about what you want they are thinking about the best way to streamline manufacturing...
I'm sure there is no more and likely no less noise deadening in the its vs aspec. It all comes down to simplifying manufacturing procedures. The more steps that are the same; the less you cost.
Everyone complaining is a still falling victim to the pessimistic range. Tanks are damn near 13gal but the programming doesnt lead anybody to believe that...
good luck with getting Honda to take any responsibility. They punt all responsibility to the dealers. The only thing your contacting of HOA does is give a basis for a lemon case if it comes to that.
I saw the same issue on a couple FL5s over on the civicxi forum a few months ago so your issue...
Idling; especially idling while cold will exacerbate the issue with the l15. It is counterintuitive to previous recommendations of vehicles, but these engines do not produce enough heat at idle to counteract the extra fuel added coupled with the direct injection. Putting the two together equals...
Gasoline in the oil is inevitable with direct injection. The quantity of gasoline is what matters. An oil analysis is the only way to know that for sure.
general consensus is to be safe, avoid short trips that dont allow the oil to reach full operating temperature and once per week make a long...
Mine make noise when they're cold....sometimes. it's so intermittent I haven't bothered to even attempt mentioning it to the dealer because I'm sure it wouldn't do it for them ?

I've used this on a few chips that I've found (did not buy here, this was a google search, mine came from the dealer). The ones I did 2 weeks ago I can't even find anymore. I used a dab in the...
I didnt say a defect from design, just by design. Maybe I should have said not a defect beyond design.
I work with many new engineers and I know honda employs many similar. Drawing parallels with the questions I get to if honda engineers are the same is alarming.
I see it on the top of the sideskirts when the door is open. The area loves to accumulate dirt as well. I deep clean it every other week because otherwise I would have dark runny streaks down the side of my white car which imo just looks bad.
As far as rusting goes, if it just on the sideskirt...
