And by the way 3 to 4k for oil change is normal I've dont that for all of my cars even my old accord and prelude always every 3 to 4k this 10k on an oil change is absurd. Most people drive chaotic and heavy footed and now most cars are turbo which means you need to change it more frequently. Also have to keep in mind driving a turbo car you shouldn't jump in start it and go. Let the Rpms drop a little let it get a little warm especially in cold climates. Non of this is new its things that Honda advises and in actcually how you should always treat your car. Dont floor it drive aggressively and then just shut the car off that's not good for the turbo.

My SUV gets 18 MPG, I wanted something which got at least 30 and was fun to drive. I’m seeing 32 so far (barely broken in) so I’m thrilled with it. The Civic’s manual had a little shorter clutch and throw so it was more fun, but it was just too small for me. Fortunately this car had been sitting on the lot for months so I was able to get a better price on it than my spouse got on a Civic EX six months ago (when I first saw this car). I didn’t like the styling in pictures and I don’t usually care for black interiors, but I fell in love with this car when I saw it in person.

I got the 2.0 back in March of this year of course. I traded the 2016 Ex-T. That was the plan until the new accord came out. With the 1.5 I felt the engine was a little small and under powered for the car size plus it has the CVT. I didn’t want another CVT to drive as a daily driver it wasn’t fun but ok. The 2.0 sport has the features that the civic Ex T had and more so getting an 1.5 sport I would of been bored with it. I also liked the fact 10spd is not new of course but Honda and the accord is the only front wheel drive sedan out there that has the 10 spd others are rear wheel drive so that got my attention as well. I did get the 2.0 sport platinum white for $28,000 the Camry 2018 I was going to consider with the v6 was $37,000. That’s a big price difference for my budget.

Just feels totally different than normally aspirated engine. Also, have a rattle coming from right rear of car, and a vibration on dashboard at certain speeds. Also, my winshield wipers make a ton of noise - not sure if anyone else experienced this? The radio is a constant disappointment and is upsetting every time I get into the car Otherwise, the car is fantastic! The interior is amazing as well as all of the electronics.
