      @@cyborg2048 It does kind of make more sense with the Accord though, it was a fun cruiser, and with it being Acura, they can charge a bit more for what the 2.0T and v6 used to offer. The appeal for the SI has always been a sporty commuter. Money being spent on the drivetrain and handling experience rather than leather seats and stuff. If they offered the manual in all the Integra trims it would be a little better, but it's only in the higher trims which is unfortunate.

    Been looking into getting one of these. I had a 2015 Altima that had all sorts of problems. As far as the A/C vents in here and the roominess, how would you describe it? I'm afraid of the vents not being able to move around enough just because I've never seen a design like that.

    • @patant178
      @patant178 Рік тому +3

      The vents have plenty of motion, I haven't found myself wanting more. One thing about it is that you don't have flow control for the drivers right and passengers left vent though. I would describe the space as 'enough' at 6'5" if I set the front seat where I like it and then move to the back my legs are touching the seat but not uncomfortably so. I've had my CVT EXL for about 1 month so far and my only annoyance is that when switching gears on the shifter there's a 2 second or so delay before it hooks up so I have to hold the brake a bit longer than I'm used to after switching gears.

    Of course, other markets have the features you are missing, like heated steering wheel, pano sunroof, heated rear seats. The stock B-roll footage you showed featured foreign market models with Adaptive Driving Beam headlights, hence the clear corner lights. The taillights do in-fact go all the way across when you brake, and the little dash car facsimile shows that. There is effectively a $455 up-charge for ST manuals, since they only come in premium colors, a ripoff. The manual has Econ mode, just not Sport mode.

    There are no drive modes on a manual car because you control the car. You wanted eco= you shift faster/earlier so u don't Rev the motor and save gas. You wanted sport = you shift till it hits 7rpm and that would make it "sport" for you since it's funner and more existing.

    Correct that some amenities are not there, like lumbar support, heated steering wheel, ventilated seats, and memory seats. Also, no passenger-side powered seats or fold-in door side mirrors. Civic cabin noise is loud, however, about 5 decibels lower in the Touring. In many vehicles, you are no longer able to lock the glove box. Hate Hybrids and EVs ...so no biggie.
    The famous past issue with the 1.5L Turbo Earths Dream engine was Oil Dilution, almost gone but still prone. Not many people like CVT's but with Honda, it is the norm and they have improved over the years. Overall, the Civic Touring is fantastic. Want something sportier get the Civic Type R.
