How long does it take for the car to automatically lock itself? Never knew I had this feature! The Sandman

Will we see a different civic taillight 08 or 09? The 08 civic R has a nice one.  See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com

man the type r is one good looking car! its front lights and tail lights resemble that of the rsx; same goes for the base model jdm civics (non type r). I think we will get a freshening (look at an 03 coupe/sedan and then look at an 04 coupe/sedan) but i doubt it will be that dramatic. |

Hello all, I have an a very early 06 lx sedan auto. I've had, and continue to have, the vibration/ resonance problem around 1500 rpm that many others have had. I've had the car in to the dealer on numerous occasions, yet the problem persists. They think it is the fuel shield, but nothing they've tried helps. Anyway, I was wondering others are continuing to have this problem? Also, do any of you 07 owners have this problem? Has anyone had any luck getting it fixed? Thanks

Replying to: kottke (Apr 27, 2007 9:58 pm) My dad's 2007 EX Sedan (bought in late 2006) has been perfect in every way since purchase. He's at about 10,000 miles now. |

Hey gang, some of you know me here, most of you don't.  Quick history: For the last twenty years or so I've had a fairly stable commute history that was at a rate of usually less than 15,000 miles per year. As such, my taste for nice cars was able to be sated with the likes of some fairly nice lease cars, much to my delight. Nearly two years ago I took a contract that was with a company about 45 miles away from our home, and since the lease on my 530i was nearly up, I simply let that car go back to BMW and started driving our spare car, a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan with the 3.8 liter engine (which only had 80,000 miles on the clock at the time). Tough transition.  I figured at the time that once that "three to six month" contract was over I'd simply lease a new car and be on my way. Well, best laid plans of mice and men and all of that, here I am 22 months later (and 60,000 more miles on our old DGC), not only still contracting to the same company, but facing an even longer commute when they move later this summer some 20 miles further up the road. Said another way, with my usual 10,000 miles per year (around here anyway) of driving to out of state soccer events and other non-work related mileage, that I'll be racking up miles in excess of 40,000 per year Hmmm... I ran a spreadsheet that takes into account commute miles, other miles, gas prices and fuel economy, and came up with some startling numbers. Between Mrs. Shipo (whose company just moved much further away from our home as well) and I, I figured that we were going to be driving some 80,000 to 90,000 combined miles per year, and at $4.00 for gas, we're talking over $18,000 of gas per year! Ouch. Casting about for options, I pretty much figured that by selling one of our DGCs (hers is much nicer and only has 90,000 miles on it, so that'll be the one to go) and buying two Honda Civics, we can pay for the new cars in gas savings alone! Nice. I went and visited my friendly neighborhood Honda dealer this afternoon and drove a Civic EX 5-Speed (Atomic Blue Metallic). To be honest, I was prepared to like the car, however, I wasn't prepared to like it as much as I did.  Geez, what a nice fun little car, and what a blast to drive. It kind of reminds me of a 4-Door version of my old 1979 VW Scirocco. Maybe not quite as quick on the turn-in, but a heck of a lot faster in a straight line and no slouch in the twisties. When I came back to the dealership all grinning and giggly, the salesman was sure he had a sale. Then I told him that I was actually looking to buy two, one EX Automatic with Nav, and one EX 5-Speed with no Nav, and he started grinning as widely as me. Of course no good deed goes unpunished; Mr. Murphy stepped in right about then. Mrs. Shipo called my cell phone and told me that her boss had just had a conversation with her and leaked that the president of the division was going to call her (my wife that is) tomorrow and offer her a juicy promotion along with a three year stint in Hong Kong for our whole family. Hmmm... We'll know officially tomorrow if this is going to really happen or if it was just some wishful thinking by my wife's boss, but if it does, I guess I won't be needing those Civics. Best Regards, Shipo
