Replying to: blane (Aug 10, 2007 1:17 pm) Is there an online version of the manual? I lost my owner's manual. Also, all 03-05 owners be sure to take your car in for the recall on the cc. This is a new recall.

#1708 of 1765 HCH re-sales, longest battery life by cactusman Aug 25, 2007 (2:47 pm)
I have a 2004 Hch and have loved the car for 85,000 miles. Now a bad back requires me to give up the manual tranny. Got a shock when discussing its trade value at the local Honda dealer. The long and short seems to be KBB minus $4k. Anybody had similar experience?   Anybody know what the REAL expected life of the hybrid battery pack is?

Replying to: cactusman (Aug 25, 2007 2:47 pm) Welcome to the Forum.   You will never get a fair shake on trade-in from a dealer. Sell it your self on Craigslist or AutoTrader. You are getting close to that magic 100k mile mark that kills resale value. With a hybrid it is worse because of the unknown battery life.
#1710 of 1765 HCH - what as the price on extended warranty? by 2mnycats Aug 26, 2007 (4:26 am)
I can't find this info anywhere on the Honda website. What would someone expect to pay for a 7 yr/100,000 mi extended warranty? Thanks! Replies to this message: soybeanstasher (Aug 27, 2007 6:41 pm) kirstie_h (Aug 28, 2007 7:05 am)

Replying to: 2mnycats (Aug 26, 2007 4:26 am) If you purchased the warranty online within the first 6,000 miles of owning the car, 7/100K with $0 deductible would run you $755. Search Google for "honda care warranty" and you'll find many vendors.

Replying to: 2mnycats (Aug 26, 2007 4:26 am) There are also some great recommendations in our Honda Extended Warranty Pricing & Info discussion.

Replying to: cbowen (Jul 08, 2007 9:02 pm) The Accord headrest worked for me. Go to your Honda dealer and ask to try one out before you buy. I've been a Honda owner since 1980 and never had an issue until the headrest in my 2007 Honda Civic. It was driving me nuts! No more pain in the neck, shoulder and back with the Accord headrest in place.   This seems to be an issue for shorter people. The curve in the Civic headrest sits at the curve in my husbands neck; he's 5'10" and he has no issue with the headrest. I'm 5'4", and the headrest curve hits right in the back on my head, pushing it forward and down into a very unnatural and uncomfortable position.   I tried turning the Civic headrest around, which resolved the issue of pushing my head into an uncomfortable position, but it also did not provide any whiplash protection because it sat too far back from my head. The Accord headrest just touches the back of my head, and feels just like the headrest did in my 1997 Honda Civic.   It would appear Honda did not take the height of the driver into consideration when they decided to go for the higher safety rating with the headrest. Perhaps they could offer an alternate headrest for their shorter customers.   The IIHS needs to take into consideration the natural alignment of the human spine when making safety recommendations. There needs to be a balance between cushioning for an impact and everyday spinal health. Common knowledge that can be obtained from any chiropractor or D.O.

Replying to: jpo4 (Sep 04, 2007 12:47 pm) Those things behind your head are not for resting. They are Active Head RESTRAINTS (AHR) to keep your head restrained, thus minimizing potential whiplash.   Anyone who tries to replace, modify or otherwise defeat the engineers' work is not doing themselves a favor.   http://www.iihs.org/ratings/head_restraints/headrestraints.aspx?honda   http://www.iihs.org/sr/pdfs/sr3609.pdf   Replies to this message: gagrice (Sep 04, 2007 4:35 pm) blane (Sep 05, 2007 2:14 pm) gagrice (Sep 05, 2007 6:53 pm)

Replying to: blane (Sep 04, 2007 1:30 pm) This is a common complaint with the newer Civic headrest. It sounds like Honda needs to go back to the drawing board. You can only carry the "one size fits all" so far. I think Honda goofed trying to win the rearend prize. I doubt they used all different size dummies for their test.
