You got DM.

I was dumb. The 50th Anniversary Edition GTI was a thing close to a year ago. I wonder if the FL5 or GTI (less the fact that it's a DSG) is easier to drive. At least the GTI is way lesser of a Pogo stick.

Hope, when available, someone will pit the GTI 50th Anniversary Edition against a production FL5

I mean... Broken Clutch Pedal was a thing for Evo X. That is made of plastic too.

While transit damage can happen, I would walk away from this one. Yes, it could have been worse. But you have not taken delivery yet. Try to find a different copy.

It appears Integra Type S is also affected with this noise issue at this point.

I am also in disbelief that Honda think this knocking noise when changing directions with the steering wheel, somewhat swiftly or quickly just to replicate the noise, while stationary is totally normal :(. I owned two cars with electric power steering, both do not sound like that at all. It...

Here are my recommendations to achieve what you are looking for (similar to rolling a stop sign on a light decline, that seems to apply to OP): 1) Ease the clutch slowly back to 1st. Just have to feather the clutch (no gas) so it's less jerky. The differential is on the big side (4.3:1), you...

I think what OP is trying to do, that is start in 2nd instead of having to go into 1st, while the car is crawling very slow on a light decline. If you are going slower than what 2nd gear can do at idle speed, you have to raise your revs up a little to slip into 2nd. A more detailed...

For me, it is about the same as most cars I drive on a regular basis (around 27-30mpg), as long as I am not in boost the majority of the time under good conditions on freeway. We are talking about going somewhere about 500 miles away, which is a couple tanks worth. The only time I feel the...

1000 percent flatbed it. Summer tires simply do not work under Minnesota Winters. At minimum, you will need winter tires to drive home. Summer tires has a thing called Glass Transition, where the rubber will not work when too cold.

You are not damaging anything by leaving rev match on. It's so good that I leave it on.

I went with Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 when downsizing. It's quiter than the OE PS4S in many scenarios. I am aware that I gained some sidewall in the process, but the tire does not feel pointy (it's not a PS4S obviously), yet it will do what you want to throw at it. At least you bring...

I am pretty sure everyone at this point, unless the VIN decodes as a 2026

Apex VS-5RS 18x9.5 +45 Anthracite 265/35R18 at stock height with Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02

Lug nuts came and put on the new wheels. 5 percent gain in sidewall (or 19 percent by actual thickness) definitely make bumpy backroads far less jarring to drive, and ride quality felt more like a normal car everywhere. I do miss the way the stock 19s drive though.

Went to a different Dealer for a second opinion. The Advisor who helped me immediately said he got a lot of the same complaint I am experiencing, and said all 11th Gen Civic has the same noise regardless of trim. I explained the noise is not a comfortable one and it would be nice of him to show...

Finally got my downsizing plan going by receiving my Apex VS-5RS and intrigued that they look like stock wheels on a diet when having the actual wheel in my hands.

I got the car back from the Dealer about a week since I dropped it off. According to them, they contacted Tech Helpline, rechecked everything and concluded that it is normal, which I'm not convinced. Looks like it'll have to wait until something takes a dive.

It's ok. That you can find out from LogR
