hello all and nice to meet you.
Thank you so much for the positive comments and feedback, I really think also t hat we shouldnt be obsesed with the MPG crazyness, I mean, I would love to get 60MPG but hey, even at this point Im getting 3 times the efficency of my old TT.
I agree that its important to learn the route and try to keep an eye of the mpg indicator, the downside is that Mexico city is located in the middle of a valley surrounded by mountains which means when you travel from south to north you are actually climbing all the way no matter where you go. I had a situation today where I had to apply full brakes and the ABS worked very well, specially for a big car as the Civic is. I dont really know if the car has Stability control, but I was reading that the same model in Europe does so I was wondering if you guys get that option in the US since I dont think here Honda decided to include that feature as a standard option.
The dealer told me 2 weeks ago when I was receiving the car that Honda was going to send me a "certificate" or purchase, something like for getting an ECO car and I dont know if this is only for Mexico because of the agreements with the government or if this is a global policy from Honda to give you some kind of special treatment.
Have you tried to change the normal halogen bulbs that comes standard with the civic? I really envy all Prius owners for having the option to get Xenon flashlights on their hybrids...mhmhmh..
Do you have galleries on flickr or here from your cars? it would be nice to see them...
Thanks!
