I am in the market for a new Civic, but I wanted to know when the new 2011 Civic is going to be lauched. Any ideas?

Q: Should I get 2006 Acura RSX Type-S or 2011 Honda Civic SI coupe?
Also would maintenance cost more for a 2006 Acura RSX type-s or a new 2011 Honda Civic SI coupe?

A: I wouldn’t get any of them.

They’re all the same garbage car that’s been rebadged with different names.

If your buying an Acura, you’re buying a POS Honda.

Q: What are my other options other than a 2011 honda civic si?
Im going to go buy a 2011 si next week, but are there any other cars new or used in a 25k price range that are faster and look just as nice as the civic. Just something that is overall better, and nicer. If u suggest a used car it must be newer than 2007. No evo’s or sti’s.

I am also considering a used 2007 acura tl type s

A: Get the 2011 civic. Forget the Acura.

Q: What’s the difference between the 09 and 2011 honda civic si?

A: The only difference is that the 2011 has the LX-S trim level, everything else is the same.

Q: Difference in 2010 and 2011 Honda Civic Si?
I have been looking into buying a new car and i chose the 2010 Civic Si coupe After i made my decision, however, the 2011 got announced which gave me another choice. 2010 or 2011. My question is what are the specific differences if any. I know that ‘09 vs ‘10 was they changed the engine cover color from silver to black, so does anyone know yet what they modified if anything?

A: The 2010 and 2011 Civic Si are pretty much identical.

Q: 2011 Honda Civic is blowing oil out of the tail pipe.?
I see small spots of oil on the rear bumper around the tailpipe. It’s going through 3 quarts about every 1000 miles. What do I need to look at?

A: You are going to have to hold the dealer’s feet to the fire over this. The oil consumption is what you need to focus on. It is a relatively rare problem now, but about 5 years ago Honda had problems with cars that were in the warranty period suddenly consuming a quart every 1000 miles. Not many dealers wanted to hunt that down and most just mumbled platitudes and hustled the customers out the door. The few dealers that stood up and did something found broken compression rings, although the compression test didn’t show anything wrong. There was never a TSB as far as I know so we don’t know what the root cause was but it sure sounds like the ring end gaps were too small. I believe engine replacement was the fix for all the affected cars. I know if I were a Honda exec I wouldn’t want engines that failed so early to be out in the field.

Q: 2011 Honda Civic = new model?
Hi, I’m currently driving a leased 2007 Honda Civic.
My lease expires this coming September and I was looking into purchasing a 2011 Civic when the new model comes out but the rumor mill says that they’re going to overlook their usual five-year swap and unveil the ninth generation in 2012? Does anyone have a credible source for this or is it just speculation?
Also, does anyone have any information on what the 2011 will look like? I’ve seen a futuristic red coloured rendering of what it could look like but everything else looks like a European model of the eighth gen.
Thanks for your help!
Thank you, could you please cite your source for this?

A: The 2012 model is when it’s going to be totally redesigned and it should be out in late 2011. There is no official announcement from Honda, so, we are all just guessing right now. I guess the Civic is going to be slightly small then the current generation, but it’s hard to say for sure what it is going to look like.

Q: When do the new 2011 honda civic’s come out?
it’s a brand new model.
sometime in august?
when when when?
Did you totally make that up..?

A: The 2011 is not a brand new model, the 2012 will be totally redesigned. The 2011 Civics should be out 3rd or 4th quarter, it depends on the dealer. My dealer usually gets them in August, but some dealers don’t get them until November. You can pre-order yours so you’ll get the one you want.

Q: Any has an 2010 or 2011 Honda civic? If So how do you like it?
This will be my first car and i wanted to know should i stick with it because i will be getting it next week. I need pros and cons and yes i looked at some reviews i just want another persons opinion! =)

A: Congrats on your car. I have a 2006 Civic, but mechanically, they are identical. It is a nice, reliable compact car and a great first car. It gets awesome gas mileage (unless you’re a lead foot all the time). Overall, it’s a great little car.

If you’re already definitely getting it, then I hope you like it, as well. But if you can wait a bit, the all new 2012 Civic with a new body and features is scheduled to be revealed next month and should be in dealerships early 2011. Good luck!

Q: Can I install the 14″ winter tires and wheels from my 2001 Honda Civic on a 2011 Civic which has 15″ wheels?
Do they have the same bolt pattern and is the circumference close enough?

A: No, you cannot. Your 2011 Civic has a 5×114.3 wheel, the 2001 has a 4×100 wheel.

Q: What should I do to my 2011 civic coupe to make it sound louder and deeper?
I just bought a 2011 honda civic coupe, and I want to make it sound louder and deeper. I dont want it to sound like a ricer car, just something that I can hear when I turn it on and off, and when I’m driving. I know nothing about exhausts or converters or any of that stuff, I just want it to sound good =)

A: Why bother? It’s a Honda! It’ll never sound good. But if you must, change the muffler at a performance store.

Q: Did i get a good deal? 2011 Honda Civic EX Coupe?
I bought a 2011 Honda Civic EX Coupe with an automatic transmission about a week ago and wanted to get some input on the deal i got. I negotiated them down to $19,275 on the sticker price. I have absolutely no credit history and my co-signer already had two relatively new cars under his name which his income couldn’t justify so they financed us at 5.9% for 6 years. Does that sound about right? After state fees, the alarm system, and GAP protection it came out to $23,364. i put a down payment of $2,000 so i ended up financing $21,364 at $353 a month for 6 years. Any input appreciated. thanks

A: New car = bad idea.
6 years = bad idea.
Alarm & GAP= bad idea. (Both are nearly all profit for the dealer)

You will end up paying $27,416 plus full coverage insurance for 6 years for a car that is worth, at best $16,500 right now and 6 years from now, probably wont be worth $6000. $353 a month plus insurance…and what if you lose your job ?

Other than that, you did ok.

Q: 2011 Honda Civic Si “break-in” period concerns?
I recently bought a brand new 2011 Civic si coupe, one week ago to be exact. The dealer told me not to bring the rpms above 5,000 and no heavy accelerating or braking. This is also what the owners manual says to do. I have about 480 miles on my car right now and I bought it with 77 miles on it already.

I have been following the “break-in” guidelines pretty well I think, however, I have a couple concerns.

This is my first manual transmission car (which I love by the way, much more fun than automatic), and I am learning how to drive manual with it. I’ve had very little previous experience driving manual before, so this week has basically been the only experience I’ve had (I drove a manual truck a couple times and my friend’s Acura RSX).

So you can imagine that I’ve stalled a number of times and accidentally over rev’d the engine a few times as well. I believe I’ve stalled out maybe 7 or 8 times, but I’ve gotten the hang of it now. I’ve accidentally over rev’d the engine maybe 3 or 4 times, up to about 5,000-5,200 rpms. Is this a bad thing? Will it cause damage to my new car?

There have been about 2 or 3 times I’ve accelerated quickly, not to the point where the VTEC would engage, but around the 4,300-4,500 rpm range. Is this a bad thing too? I just couldn’t help myself, it was so much fun!

Another concern, the shifter doesn’t feel quite as smooth as it did at day one when I put it into gear. It doesn’t always feel like this, but enough for it to be noticeable. Am I being over paranoid and this is just normal? Or is it something to be concerned with?

Also, I just found out today that there is a small horizontal scratch on my driver’s side door that’s about an inch long. Would something like this be easily buffed out?

Thank you for reading, and sorry about the length!

A: 1. Your treatment of the engine would not cause any concern from your description. You should one you hit the 600 mile point start to increase the max revs gradually over the next 600 miles. Do not get to 600 and then go for it. Until you hit 1000 miles try to avoid driving at the same speed all the time and vary it just alittle as you cruise. If it has cruise control do not use it until you hit at least 1000 miles.

2. Shifter – no way to judge without trying it

3. No way to know without seeing it.

Q: How much should I pay for a 2011 Honda Civic Si sedan “base model”?
I live in California, Los Angeles to exact. I am looking into purchasing a 2011 Honda Civic Si Sedan “base model”. How much should I pay for the car out the door at the dealer ship including all fee’s..etc?

This is going to be my very first vehicle purchase from a dealer.
So any tips on how to get a great deal or anything below MSRP would be great.

I plan to give a down payment off 11k cash and I have a FICA credit score of 812.

Will giving such a large down help me get a better deal at the dealership?
I plan to do a 60 month finance and actually pay the car off in about a year and a half to 2.

Any info will really help thanks!

A: I would suggest doing a search engine search.
