Honda Civic parts reviews

I have knock off weathertechs in my civic, Yitamotors brand on amazon. 5 years and they look brand new. $65 i think i paid

Get a Denso or NGK coil. You can try an auto parts store coil (do NOT get one from Amazon) and if it solves it, order the Denso or NGK.

The pads seem to last forever on the street, and work really well on the track/ when warm

Valvoline Restore and Protect. This newly designed oil can, and does, remove up to 100% of engine deposits. Including those found on and around the piston rings. A major contributing factor to oil blow-by, or general usage between oil changes. It take a couple 4k mile oil changes to work. Everything I have researched shows that it does work and many, most even, report a significant reduction in burning oil between oil changes, but do your own research! :) I wasn't having oil burning issues in my 8th gen, but still ran it through a couple times because it certainly won't hurt anything!

Rev matching is better for the brake pads... and it sounds cool lol. Same reason I rev match downshift in my Honda Civic.

decided to go with “aftermarket” which was a Pilkington windshield. Have had zero issues with my lane assist/collision sensors, However I assume it really depends who does your replacement install and if they calibrate the sensors properly

Manual transmission is a bliss.

Get a denso reman or be prepared to replace it again in a year.

We just went through this. 3 dealerships and no joke atleast 10 visits. 2 dealerships said the car was fine and safe to drive. We had the recalls done, but the issue was still present. At the 3rd dealership they diagnosed it immediately and said the car needed a new steering rack. They overnighted the part and the car was fixed today. It’s running perfectly now. What pisses me off is, the ran the part under the Honda Care Warranty I made my kid purchase. Yes, I know, waste of money. It’s his first real car and being it was a used car I was overly cautious at the time of purchase. The car is a 2022 civic touring. Wouldn’t the steering rack be covered under warranty as that part has a known fault. What would have happened if I did not make him spend the extra money for the Honda Care. They stated something was broken within the steering rack as the wheel made a noise when you turned it. The car also would swerve while driving at speeds over 35. The lane assist would jerk the car all over and the steering had dead zones which would cause the jerking while trying to stay in lane. I know I should be happy the damn car is fixed and I don’t need to hear my kid say he’s gonna die driving it everyday as it swerves on the road. I do think the cost should be on Honda and not my Honda Care warranty.

I recently spent $70 on Bosch Icon wipers because I read they were supposed to be good. I read page after page on the internet of what size wiper to get and what brand was good. Bosch kept getting mentioned. All the sizes said to get 26 and 19 inches. Guess what? BOTH of these are WRONG. First off, I was not near my car when I purchased these or else I would have just measured the wiper myself. Both these sizes are bigger than stock and while they technically fit, there is less than an inch of clearance beteeen them. Secondly, I suspect because of the size, the wipers do not wipe correctly. They both leave giant patches of the windshield un-wiped due to the blade not making proper contact with the glass. Third, I had to use a damn Dremel to "modify" the clip just to get these stupid things on the car and even then I had to use so much force to get them on that I thought I was going to break them or wiper arm. I barely got them on. Now I can't return them so I'm stuck with $70 wiper blades that don't work properly.
