i get about 30mpg on my hx as well. I have a check engine light that i never got around to trying to fix it. 'm guessing thats the problem for me

 

Yeah the Civic don't look bad at all...I don't see any rust or peeling paint..I believe I see a dent on the rear passenger side fender but that's it....Give it a wax & wash and it'll look so clean!

 

congrats also! gotta love EK's body styling. really? rides better than your evo huh?

 

Hey apex nine, what does cvt stand for in the honda world?

 

Sadly, it does ride better than the evo. I drove my evo all the way home from CA. Not a comfortable car to travel in. you feel every little crack in the road. Love the evo though.


A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a transmission that can change steplessly through an infinite number of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values. This contrasts with other mechanical transmissions that offer a fixed number of gear ratios. The flexibility of a CVT allows the driving shaft to maintain a constant angular velocity over a range of output velocities. This can provide better fuel economy than other transmissions by enabling the engine to run at its most efficient revolutions per minute (RPM) for a range of vehicle speeds. Alternatively it can be used to maximize the performance of a vehicle by allowing the engine to turn at the RPM at which it produces peak power. This is typically higher than the RPM that achieves peak efficiency.

 

okay, today i have learned something, i knew what CVT transmissions were, BUT i had no idea honda ever did one, thats why i asked what they stood for in the honda world, because i had no idea that civics ever had em'.

 

I never knew civics had them either until I bought this and tried to put a cruise control on it. I would have got the LX or EX just for the cruise control... Didn't research enough.

I have two cars that don't have cruise! neat.
