Yes, this is the norm for vehicles with a flat floor in the back seat. For instance, I've owned 3 minivans and each had a one-piece mat in front of the middle row (and another one piece mat in front of the 3rd row). This is not really to cut costs, but to better cover and protect the carpet. I've found it's quite easy to simply fold the mat lengthwise and pull it out (just did it yesterday in fact). I think it would look odd to have two mats. Plus the carpet under the "seam" would get dirt etc., and the two mats would shift more easily.
 
This is your first car with a flat floor in back, yes? You will get used to it, and in fact I predict you will eventually think that it is the logical way to design a carpet for that space.
 
Many, many more things to worry about, to be skeptical about , than a one-piece carpet in the back seat of the Civic.

Oh, lol, you'll find I'm skeptical (read not cynical) about most things.
 
You could be right, since there is no bump, it might look worse and be awkward overall...yes, this is the first time I've ever seen this, I suppose, and it's been a gazillion years since I bought a new car...so there's tons of things I'll likely be asking about from wiser folks like you who clearly have much more experience with cars in general...
 
Thanks so much!

kyfdx is correct, I can not even tell you the area code I'm in. I suggest you email every dealer in the metro. Most of us have a decent selection of Civic coupes on-hand.
 
I have shopped the competition here, my dealership is the highest.

price for Civic LX - TX by elena250

I'm looking to buy a civic lx - seems they are inflexible with price. What is a realistic offer for OTD for one of these now? The one I looked at yesterday was about MSRP of $18,500 but then had additions on it to make it come to about $20,000 so they said out the door would be about $22,000. That seems steep. What price should I expect would be reasonable. Don't want to sound utterly out of the ballpark. I jokingly said $17,000 and they just laughed. Help! I really don't like these kinds of negotiations but do feel it's a lot of money for a civic! But it is a nice car.

Hi elena 250,
 
Have you read through some recent posts here from the last week or two? You may find some help/clarity in doing so.
 
What sort of additions are you referring to that tack on an additional $1,500? If they are additions you don't want, and they refuse to remove them or the extra $1,500, and this is too steep for you, than I'd advise you move on to another car/ dealer.
 
There are still very good deals to be had on 08's as they want them off the lot for the '09's to come in.
 
BTW, I wouldn't jokingly throw out a number, because they won't take you seriously. Your request to pay a certain amount needs to be well timed. I'm new to this myself, but it seems helpful to not talk numbers till the end, till you are clear and can speak with seriousness and confidence that your offer is fair and reasonable comes when you do the research. Some folks actually offer a few hundred lower in case the manager comes back with a negotiated new offer.
Be clear how high you will go and be prepared to walk out if you think the deal is
not fair. There are many dealers and many deals to be had elsewhere.
 
Remember--they want to sell cars.
 
Good luck!

Elena - That definetely sounds like a rip off for a LX. I got a OTD offer for 18.7 in FL.
