#48 of 159 Re: A/C cooling on a 2008 Civic LX [velde] by targettuning Jun 17, 2008 (6:03 am)
Replying to: velde (Jun 16, 2008 9:26 pm) A resounding...NO!!! They are well into the 2008 model year and I see evidence that many of the problems on our 2006 are still around. Honda has had several years to address these basic problems. AC not working well in a 2008 car ?? come on this is a BASIC system and most especially when this seems to be the same operation as in 2006. Per CR the Civic has fallen off its throne as the highest rated car in the class. Whether you feel CR is the best (or even one of the better) sources of automobile information (and I do) this is significant news. The king is dead..long live the king......

every car(my 2008 lx) has its quirks. For the civic- cheap seat fabrick in lx model, slight hesitation when u stomp on the accelerator, some road noise, poor stereo(really!).   PRos:5*SAFETY ,looks,interior,i-VTEC, handling, the "feel" of a spacecraft!, maintainance free (3,200 city miles so far for me), effortless to drive and the BEST OF ALL GAS MILEAGE! i am getting 27-28city!!!.   Corolla (2009Le)i believe is a nice car too but it has its quirks too. so far, rattles, cheap interior(civic too), and steering correction problems. Just test drive and see what u like! In short, ya i would by the civic again(for cheaper price ) sentra, focus looks ugly to me but corolla might give civic some test.

#51 of 159 '06 Civic by sandman46 Jun 17, 2008 (10:48 am)
My a/c works just fine in all conditions and the car drives like a bigger car. Was impressed with the new Sentra we drove on Sunday...looks wise the Civic is hands down a much more modern look. The Sentra's side view mirrors have a very strange shape so it's really hard to see properly out of them. Much prefer the larger Civic mirrors...safer too. Did see a new '08 model with a very recent build date. When does Honda switch over to the new model year?   The Sandman Replies to this message: sparkland (Jun 17, 2008 5:57 pm)

Replying to: ivtec1 (Jun 17, 2008 6:11 pm) Them's the brakes, errr, is it breaks?   FWIW, I'm going to cut you a break and explain to you that the thinga-ma-jigs on your car that slow it down are brakes. Cool?
#55 of 159 LOL by ivtec1 Jun 17, 2008 (9:26 pm)
sorry brakes . I don't find anything wrong with the brakes though, but just wanna make sure

Replying to: ivtec1 (Jun 15, 2008 10:38 am) I have been to the dealer two times this week. I was informed that I had to call American Honda in CA. I did yesterday. After four services due to steering and now the locked MT I do not feel this new Honda is safe or reliable. I never had so many visits to the service dept. with my old Honda. Geez, it is only 6 months old.
#57 of 159 07 AC by jpcanavera Jun 19, 2008 (2:50 pm)
The AC on my 07 EX seems to run fine. We've been in the mid 90's a few times this year and it is very comfortable. Now the one thing I've noticed regarding all my Honda's (and this is my third, Accord and CRV), is that once it approaches the 90's you have to run the AC unit on the max cooling setting. You don't have to have the fan on full blast but you do need to be on the MAX setting. I've not had a foreign car that ever has matched the output of an American car. If you are running on normal I can guarantee you that in traffic or once it hits 90 or above the AC won't perform as well.   Jack
