All New 2016 Civic

2. Despite the 133 mm ground clearance (which is 20mm lower than most other compacts), I haven't scraped my bumper yet. The short overhangs probably help in improving the car's maximum approach angle.

Thought the ground clearance is 143 or 145 mm?

Yours is at 22? Ours at 25.. Hmm.. Maybe they changed it for the updated versions.

Maybe the aircon temp setting is adjustable? ... or maybe the aircon temp is dependent on outside temp ...

Currently having my 6th month PMS, at 6,230km. Estimated at P3,300. Opted just for the mineral oil, and didn't avail of engine flush.

It's nice that you can see the car being serviced here in Honda Angeles.

Drove my Civic hard earlier today with repeated flat-out acceleration and then braking and accelerating again during overtakes.

This is when the CVT feels really weird. Power is there but the engine droning at 6000 rpm is annoying.

When the car "downshifts" it doesn't start at 4500 rpm then climbs to 6500. It just stays at the 5500-6500 rpm range, hence the droning.

This will take some getting used to. Although generally I've adjusted my driving style where I don't need to drive like this just to get good pace. It's more efficient to maintain momentum than braking hard and accelerating rapidly.

Thats when you realize the advantages of having a paddle shifter

My jazz CVT sounds like that when i leave it in auto mode. But going "manual" with the paddle shifters totally changes the character and sound and driving feel.

Yeah. Speed-wise, what my transmission does is the fastest way to go as it's always at peak power. But feel-wise, having fake shifts through paddle shifters is more engaging.

Sir Jut,

Which is faster, "S" mode or "L" mode. We don't have L mode sa RS pero some forum and YT comments suggest mas faster ang "L" mode since it doesn't give you that fake shifts...

Pag WOT bro whether D, S, or L, nakaredline lang siya.

Keeping it in D and Econ On is enough for most overtakes. I turn off Econ and put it into S if I want to overtake ng mas dikit. Haven't needed L in regular driving.

I see. Thank you Sir Jut / Sir Arvs,

Sa 1.5 cvt at D and S mode, fake shift galore kahit WOT. On YT vid na nakikita ko on overseas spec 1.5T CVT, may L mode sila and sabi nila mas mabilis nga since it doesnt give fake shifts 0 upto topspeed.

Eto sirs ung sample.

Guys, I'm still confused about the econ mode and when to use it. During bumper to bumper traffic or the highway? I'm reluctant on using it because I've heard stories that using econ mode (other car brand) will damage your transmission due to under power.

How much do you really save on fuel in terms of pesos?

Thanks.

Hello Sir, if same sya ng idea sa City CVT. Yung L Mode pang akyatan and engine braking sya. AFAIK, hanggang gear 2 lang ang L mode. Para syang primera ng manual transmission.

what happened to your fb bro?

btw, it takes some getting used to reading your reviews on your new civic . i never thought i'd be reading about you owning a honda ever.

The FB was a temporary car while I was waiting for the OR/CR of my FC.

Wala naman akong brand loyalty haha. I've owned a Ford and several Toyotas. Now I'm left with a Mazda and this new Honda. 😉

Nice! Where were you able to find the set? Been looking around for one.

Civic X FB group bro. Lucky find since I contacted the seller before he planned on selling it. He posted a pic of his Civic with the Accord rims and many people inquired, but by that time I bought it already.

Out of 44 2017 Accords sold, perhaps 1/3 are V6. Out of those 14 V6 Accords, 1 set already went to my friend who also has a Civic. I have one other set. So you have 12 other Accord V6 owners to hunt down and ask in case they want to sell their stock rims.
