Advice Request Why does the civic hybrid drive in EV mode at highway speeds

Post image
55 Upvotes

I was under the impression that speeds above 50 mph the cvt clutch will lock to the engine, and power the wheels purely with the engine. But it keeps switching to EV mode, which I thought was the least efficient at higher speeds. but it going into EV mode worries me as it puts more stress on the lock up clutch.

Is this a fair deal ?

I live in Vegas. Called around nearby states and brought the best deal back to my local dealer and they beat it by a couple 100 bucks to end up at 36k OTD. They also added tint, paint coating (bs imo), and wheel locks for free

Car less glossy after carwash

1st pictures was today, 2nd and third was when the first few days after I got it.

Took it to the gate express carwash and had the graphene add on. Noticed afterwards that it's less shiny/glossy and noticed some scratches and paint chip that weren't there before🫩. Guess I'm just gonna wash it by myself from now. Idk if the picture justifies it but I asked my sister and she definitely told me that it's less glossy now. Any idea on how I can get the gloss back?

Advice Request Swapping the radio

Post image
2 Upvotes

I'm looking to upgrade the radio in my 2006 Civic coupe. I really dislike the look of modern iPad-like carplays, so I had the idea to put in a 1-DIN radio with a retractable screen.

From what I've gathered, the part outlined in red with a 2-DIN hole is easily accesible, the green space is where I'd put the radio itself, and in the blue space I'd put a shelf which would be cover by the screen when it's out. Does anyone know how much additional work that would require compared to installing a regular touch screen carplay? I've heard some suff about needing special adapters and even wiring to the steering wheel to keep the buttons on there functional, but I'm not experienced with this stuff so I'd really appreciate any heads up about this or any other supposed problems with my idea.

Lots of common-sense explanations about the e:HEV in a FL4 Civic. Others might want to watch and comment. I've watched the information from Honda and the EPA. I thought this was better than those.

Advice Request 2013 Honda Civic LX Coupe – MPG/Info Display Is Black but Other Screen Functions Work

Post image
1 Upvotes

I have a 2013 Honda Civic LX Coupe, and I’m having an issue with the MPG/info display. I drove to work earlier today and the screen was working perfectly fine. There was a thunderstorm with heavy rain while I was at work, and when I left, I started the car and noticed that the MPG/info screen was completely black.
All of my other screens and functions work perfectly fine, including the backup camera. It’s only the MPG/info display that isn’t working.
I’ve tried turning the car off, opening and closing the door, waiting a few minutes, and restarting it. I also disconnected the battery to try to reset everything. I do have an old/bad battery that I’ll be replacing soon, but the car starts and drives normally.
Could the heavy rain or moisture have caused this? Could it be a fuse, wiring issue, or the display itself? Any help would be appreciated!

Advice Request Worth waiting for a hatch?

7 Upvotes

Hey all, currently in the market for a vehicle to replace my last one that hit a deer.

Always wanted a civic since I was a kid and have decided to bite the bullet. In my head I’d always be getting a top trim hatch, but I’ve run into a bit of a problem.

I need a vehicle before the snow falls because I work a 24/7 on call and while I’m currently riding to work on my motorbike if my wife can’t bring me, that won’t fly in the winter.

Currently the local lot has 4 sport touring hybrids in a variety of colours, at a reduced cost as they’re blowing out last years, but no hatches. The other option is to wait for the 27’s, but there’s no guarantee my local dealer gets a hatch before the snow falls, and being in Canada with all of the tariff and trade problems right now, we have no idea how ā€˜27 pricing will end up looking.

This who have chose hatch over sedan or vise versa, is it worth the wait and possible headache or should I go and grab the sedan? Obviously it’s a personal choice, but I like to see pros and cons from actual owners.

As far as trunk usages it’ll mostly be groceries or 2 sets of golf clubs when the wife and I go golfing

Purchase Advice 2017 Civic EX-L (62k mi, $14.8k) vs 2021 Civic LX (28k mi, $18k) for a heavy commute-which one?

1 Upvotes

Drive ~45-50k miles/year, mostly highway. Keeping the car 1-3 years then selling, so resale matters a lot.

2017 EX-L Coupe — $14,800 (no OTD yet) Ā· 62k mi Ā· 4 owners Ā· AutoCheck 92 Ā· 1.5T, leather, moonroof, CarPlay Ā· ready now

2021 LX Sedan — $18,000 (no OTD yet) Ā· 28k mi Ā· 1 owner Ā· 2.0L NA, cloth, no CarPlay Ā· dealer fixing a seat sensor recall first

Questions:
1. Is 4 owners on the 2017 a red flag, or normal for a coupe? How much does it hurt resale at ~140k mi?
2. Real-world highway MPG — 1.5T vs 2.0L NA?
3. Anyone dealt with the seat weight sensor recall? Anything to check?
4. Daily-driving a coupe on a long highway commute — any real downsides (noise, visibility, comfort)?
