#307 of 345 another recall on the 07's..... by nsteevo Sep 23, 2008 (9:07 am)
"Product Update: Water Pump Pulley Bolts May Lose Tension" 06 and 07, if you haven't gotten one of these in the mail you'd better call the dealer. It seems the water pump pulley bolts can come loose and cause the drive belt to break. I am really glad that Honda is taking care of this for me. However, this is the third or fourth item that has been recalled since my purchase of my Civic a year ago. It is a sad thing in this day and age (technologies, education of designers and manufacturers, computers etc.) to have brand new cars having problems like this. This is the oposite of the long enjoyed reputation of Japanese automobiles of years gone by not having repairs to speak of for many years of ownership......even when the vehicle was abused and not maintained. Japanese quality WAS Japanese manufactured and assembled.....100%. Honda and Toyota have sadly watered down their product quality by getting American ANYTHING involved in the production and/or design of their vehicles.
#308 of 345 Water Pump by sandman46 Sep 23, 2008 (2:03 pm)
Had it done after receiving a recall notice in the mail. Also had the rear suspension problem taken care of at the same time. With the Lug bug issue and the brake seals issue already addressed, guess that should be it. Still love the car but don't want to see the dealer any time soon...lol!   The Sandman Replies to this message: thegraduate (Sep 23, 2008 3:12 pm)

Replying to: sandman46 (Sep 23, 2008 2:03 pm) Not a sandman specific question here...   But,   My folks have a 2007 Civic EX Sedan, early build probably (Jan 2007 purchase). Would it possibly be included?

Replying to: cuyseco (Nov 14, 2008 7:38 am) I"m sorry to tell you but I have two friends who bought 08's. Their millage is just about what yours is. My 07 gets 41 hwy loaded with the air on. I asked the salesman why that is and he told me the gov't just changed how they rate the MPG's on new cars. That doesn't explain the actual numbers you and I are coming up with on the road.

Replying to: cuyseco (Nov 14, 2008 7:38 am) Considering the fact that you didn't give any details on your driving style, and where you drive, its really hard to say how good that is. Assuming a mix of city and highway, I'd say that sounds great (considering the car is rated for mid-20s in town and mid-30s highway), you're beating the estimates.
#314 of 345 Re: [cuyseco] by jpcanavera Nov 25, 2008 (2:07 pm)
Replying to: cuyseco (Nov 14, 2008 7:38 am) I have an '07 Civic EX. I use it in a mixed mode for city and highway travel. Dependent upon the weather (AC on or extremely cold) the mileage runs as low as 33 mpg and as high as 37. The car has about 12,000 miles on it and I've owned it since Feb. this year. In most cases I see 35 mpg as my norm.   Jack
#315 of 345 Honda Civic 2009, LX, gas millage - BAD by Batta011 Nov 27, 2008 (7:53 pm)
I have Honda Civic, LX, model 2009 Gas millage of this car is overall a DISASTER: 260 miles so far, 20.8 MPG, city ride mostly. I was not pushing the gas pedal to hard, neither was accelerating to fast, never went over 2300 RPM. With my old Honda Civic 1994 I managed to get 32-35 MPG pure city drive and 41 MPG mostly highway. I understand that the car is new I that the MPG might get better after couple hundred or thousands miles, but I don’t believe it’s going to get so much better than this. If I was not careful enough I am quite sure the millage would be 18 MPG or lest, which is the millage of a middle size SUV. Did you have any experience like this with your brand new car or you had good millage straight from the dealer's lot.

Replying to: Batta011 (Nov 27, 2008 7:53 pm) The 41 plus MPG highway that I am getting on my 2007 Civic is the same now at 35,000 miles as it was last year with ten miles on it. ?????
