I'm just going to put this out there... While I do get the frustration of the aesthetic being ruined are we so advanced in the 1st world problems department that this needs to be fixed? I see it as follows, this work doesn't happen for free and at the end of the year the bean counters are...

In Canada we thankfully don't have straight up Dealer markups like the US, but forced accessories is the game they play here. You have to decide how likely it is there's a buyer waiting behind you if you refuse. If in a heartbeat someone else will purchase it, you're SOL, pay the options...

This is how my Civic HVAC has operated for the past 12 years. I always took it as Auto meant the car would control air speed but out of all vents. In the winter I would always override with the defrost and manually set the blower speed. When switching to the Integra, I just thought this was...

Like others have said, if it's just the badge, it's fishing wire that will get it off like all the others. If you want to also get the badge holder off, I've seen the potential to use a flexible tool to get behind and unscrew it with the bumper still on but it was pretty complicated, you need a...

Funny, similar experience except the stupid dealership forced me to get it. Long story short, I had my "My Garage" login and it would throw an error code upon the first login attempt. Couldn't solve it and left the dealership with an even bigger smile on my face because the universe essentially...

One of the many reasons i chose LSM. IMHO, a black car will always look better than pretty much every other color when freshly washed but for me it lasts all of 5 minutes. Dust, pollen, rain and road grime quickly take the aesthetic away. Dirty or not this car is meant to be driven, not...

https://www.autoevolution.com/news/2026-honda-civic-plug-in-hybrid-sedan-gets-imagined-in-ritzy-colors-and-with-new-styling-248584.html Is it just me or did they essentially steal the TEP (slightly more golden) and the ITS rims for the 2026? Edit: nevermind, I'm stupid. It's a CGI, the person...

"But officer, I was only trying to not get little rocks stuck in between my brakes." ... :p It's not an exact science but I find it happens more when I turn. Like if I'm going absolutely straight, I doesn't happen but if I take a bunch of 90 degree turns, it's that much more likely.

Didn't the 2025 price jump up by about $2000CAD? Also don't hold me to it but I'm fairly certain the tariff happens at the time it clears customs across the boarder. There's nothing Acura can do other than make the entirety of the Canadian spec ITS's quickly and get them across the boarder in...

Toyota is really turning the corner from boring beige with their new line up, and the new Prius is definitely a looker, but I still couldn't get over the stigma of it. I'd do a Civic Hybrid in a heartbeat instead.

Non directional tires it's like you say, but I simplify it as "Straight back and across to front" As for interval, I do it when it's up on the lift for oil changes. This year was 10,000km (6k miles) but it depends what kind of driving you do. Highway driving versus a NASCAR oval would have me...

I'd only push it if the temperature is below 60F and I'm highway driving. Like evanescent says, these cars can pull G's and low fuel will definitely starve the engine if you're on empty. The fuel also cools the pump so that's why I never run low in the dead of summer. That said I think I've...

With how much I played Gran Turismo and Forza over the years, I can visualize most tracks and I know exactly what you mean about Laguna Seca vs. VIR. I can visualize a whole lap of LS clearly in my head but everyone always comments how crazy the corkscrew elevation change is, and how no video...

You mean 4 of the most recent posts are about rattles :p

They might also be over estimating so that if they need a bit more kilometers to prep it, a customer won't flip out. It's easier to say 30-35km and deliver it with 15km than to say 10-20km and deliver with 30km. We'll see. Anyway I hope you get it soon and with minimal kilometers

Sounds reasonable. Example, if your dealership has to drive 10km to get to the nearest gas station that has 93 octane gas, it's justifiable. Also what is the rail yard like in Toronto? If there's a lot of shuffling and distance from train to truck, the 15-20km from factory can be possible...

9km on mine. Basically under 10km, it literally did nothing more than get delivered and the minimum for PDI. Under 25km I think is a reasonable expectation, over 100km somebody drove it for fun and in between 25-100km, I'd ask where they come from. Like for example my Civic was delivered with...

Good idea. I almost always have a full gallon of washer fluid in the trunk and regularly top off the fluid with another container, but no spray bottle so it wasn't an option. In that case a bottle of de-iceing spray might be handy but like frenzal said, it depend how bad your winters are.

No problem, glad I could bring perspective. It happened first hand on my Si. After driving in deep snow and parking it outside, it froze to the rim and added a significant amount of weight. By the time I got up to speed on the next drive it felt like the wheel was going to come off, it was so...

My opinion, go as open as possible in terms of spoke/rim face design, so the TSR-X. I can't tell you how annoying it is when the snow builds up and you have to poke at it through smaller openings that are big enough to let snow accumulate but small enough that it doesn't allow you to...
