I question my boyfriend's finances, am I wrong for being annoyed?
My other issue is his car situation. He claimed to have a 2018 sports Subaru that he only had for a few months until his engine went out. I thought it was a bit odd strange for a brand new car to have a defect so soon. And that the replacement engine will cost $25,000. He said money will be tight until he's able to pay off the engine.&he also needs me to do most of the driving. He lives about 35 minutes away and that drive can get tiring 5-6x a week. He'll provide gas money and offer to drive his dad's car at times too. About a month ago, he came with good news and said that the shop reduced the price to $5,000. So I thought that was great,. He claimed to be saving before so I thought he would've purchased the engine easily. It's now going into December and he says he only has $500 saved for an engine. He has an old 1990 Honda that he drives that is ALWAYS breaking down, and he says he constantly invests into that car and it now needs a $800 clutch, and he w...
Reviews of Honda HRV?
I currently have a 2015 Civic that I'm thinking of trading in for a 2018 HRV. The civic was great as a commuter car, but it just isn't big enough now that I have a toddler in a car seat. It seems like most people go for the CRV, so I can only really find reviews for that one online. Anyone out there have/had an HRV? What did you think of it? Read more: Reviews of Honda HRV?
Is urgent airbag recall a scam?
I've been getting these flyers nonstop for almost 2 years. Today I called my local Honda dealer to make an appointment apparently my car has 4 recalls to be repaired. However, I was a little uneasy about it since it's a free repair and who knows what they'd do with my car. The cs representative on the phone scheduled the appointment for tomorrow at 10pm a driver will come pick up my car and said will be ready next day. is this a normal process or scam?

Which car should I get next? (Currently own an 07 Honda Civic)?
Hi there! I currently own an 07 Honda Civic, 2.2 TDCI EX, around 150bhp, it's a lovely car but i'm looking to upgrade soonish for that newer car feel (it's exciting!) I'm wondering which car to upgrade to next. My civic fills up for about £60 and will do around 50mpg, so my ideal next car I would love to have around the same/ better efficiency, around the same/ slightly more horsepower, 5 seater, 5 doors, Bluetooth etc. I'm on a budget of about 5k (will buy car second hand) so I'm not expecting anything mindblowing or anything from the last 4 or so years. I was looking into fiestas or focuses but the ones I can afford kind of seem a downgrade to me in terms of performance and appearance (not looking at ST's or RS's purely for low fuel efficiency in comparison). I learnt in a Fiesta and loved it but the horsepower just doesn't equate to that of a Honda civic! So what I'm trying to figure out is where can I go with that 5k? I'll admit m...
What can cause wiper blades to crack a windshield on an 06 civic?
I have a 2006 Honda Civic. There was a tiny crack in the windshield. Recently it got bigger, I thought it had something to do with either the fact that it's cold and it's getting hit with hot air and cold air but I also noticed on that particular day I had used the wipers but I didn't really think it was the wipers. Since the crack was small enough we repaired it with the resin kit and I could no longer see the crack. It's rained since but I haven't driven in the rain until today. It was kinda sleeting/raining and I drove 5 mins down the street and saw a definite new crack but in the same spot (kinda under where the tip of the left blade would lies when down). Half way home the crack expanded towards the left. I'm going to have to replace it now but I want to know is it really the wipers that are causing this? Btw we had blades replaced and from what I can tell, there's no issues with the top of the left one doesn't actually touch the windshield and th...
Best way to reduce road noise in car?
I drive an 06' honda accord. That car has been in the family since my first day of kindergarten & will be mine when i graduate next june. AND, it only 86,000 miles so it's got A LOT of life left in it for me. I just can't bare with the loud road noise, as it would give me headaches. I looked into sound proofing but i don't feel comfortable tearing apart the carpet just to put padding on it. Is there anything else i could do?

Each of my 4 tires are missing 1 of the 5 lug nuts. How dangerous is this?
I never paid attention or realized until I thought I had a slow leak in my tire and a mechanic told me he can't take the tire off without the lug nut I was missing. He told me they were potentially in my trunk with my spare, in the center counsel or perhaps in my glove box. He recommended i go to the Honda dealership to get the lug nut so he could then check for the slow leak. It's been a few weeks since this but I'm super confused. Why are all four tires missing one lug nut? My car is driving around normally. Does anyone understand why all four tires are missing one? How urgent is it to replace them? It it expensive to have them put on. I know lug nuts themselves are not expensive Read more: Each of my 4 tires are missing 1 of the 5 lug nuts. How dangerous is this?

2018 Honda Civic - Waking up to windows being down?
Last night I turned my car off, heard a weird beep, a red light on the left side of the dash flashed a few times (looks like a theft light although I've never seen it before) then my 4-ways flashed a couple times. This lasted for like 6 seconds then stopped so I proceeded to lock my car and went inside. I woke up this morning to all four of my windows down. I'm reading online that this has happened to people who have accidentally held their unlock button too long on their fob but I didn't do that last night and it doesn't explain the beeping and flashing lights before I even got out of my car. It's a brand new off the lot 2018 Civic. Any ideas? Read more: 2018 Honda Civic - Waking up to windows being down?
What age car should I choose for delivery pizza job?
When shopping for used car, I noticed same make and model values dropped fast from brand new into few years old. Now I saw one 10 years old for 5999. 15 years old for 4999, 20 years old for 3999, 25 years old for 3499. Which would you choose? It's all same manufacturers make and model. All 4 of them have 40,000 miles on it. I got all of them inspected and they all excellent conditions. They all are Honda. Which would you pick?

Honda can't fix my car what can I do?
I have a Honda HRV it;s 2 years old so under warranty for another year. It makes a grinding noise on acceleration. The service dept. Acknowledges the sound but they say as of now there's no fix. We hate the sound and it is not pleasent to drive. Can't do the lemon law over the miles- (18,000) and we own the car and can't sell it with the sound. We're baffled that they can't fix it what is our re-course. Read more: Honda can't fix my car what can I do?
Why will my 2002 Honda Accord not shift into park?
I can literally shift it into the park position, but it's not acting like it is in park. Even when I have it "shifted" to park, I can't start the car. I can only start it in Neutral. When it is in the park position, the park light doesn't come on, and I can easily shift it down to reverse or neutral without having to press and hold the button. What could be wrong?

Anybody having issues with the steering wheel on their new 2018 Honda Accord?
Whenever I go past 50 mph the steering wheel feels as if it's sticking. Almost as if their were some gum or a weak magnet holding it in place. You have to do a very small jerk to get it moving again but once you let it go it get stuck again. It's very annoying and something I wouldn't expect to have on a car of this new. Added (1). I'm trying to contact the sales rep at some honda dealerships right now but nobody is answering. They might be on a very early and long lunch break.

Can a spirit possess someone's car?
I think my car is possessed by steve Irwin or maybe another human who had been particularly gifted with animals. I myself have never been good with animals and usually a dog or cat will hiss or run from me. They never sniff my hand even though i've heard they can sniff your hand to like you. HOWEVER, since becoming the renter of this car (honda fit, 2008) i have had five highly memorable animal expriences with this car. One: I saw three baby black bears scurry across a mountain road. Two: I saw a snake on the road Three: I saw the biggest toad of my life he was like the size of a loaf of bread. Recently Four: I saw a white barn owl perches on his wire, then Five finally i saw a fox on my way home from shopping. should i be concerned that someone is trying to get through to the animals through my car? Am i concerned for no reason? The main reason i'm concerned is that i really don't want to hurt the animals with my car, they are always in the road whenever i see them...

How do i get the best mileage for my 2013 honda fit?
i see most consumer report review on it and they get around 30-31 mpg and i get 24.4? Would it be just needing to replace some car parts on the interior such as the air filter?

Bought a 2006 Honda Civic ex about a month ago, the check engine light came on and it was throwing code p0133 o2 sensor slow response?
Bank 1 sensor 1. Now I checked again and it's a P0171 code as we'll System Too Lean Bank 1 . My friend looked at it and said it's my oxygen sensor. Could that be the reason, and is that way it threw the other code as well? The car runs pretty good, does guzzle has a little.

My car was totalled, now what? Am I gonna get screwed over by insurance companies?
I was in a car accident yesterday. The State Trooper said it was the other drivers fault and 4 witnesses made statements verifying that. My car is fully paid for. The other driver and I are both fully insured. My car is totalled. I was transported to hospital by ambulance but I have no injuries, just very sore. What can I expect through the insurance companies? My blue book value on my 2015 Honda Civic coupe is 11K to 15k. I missed one day of work and school. I also had medically authorized window tintiing(meaning darker than NC law says you can have) on my car that cost 1k. How screwed am I as far as not getting much money to buy another car?

Am I becoming a Biker?
I go up to my ears in debt on a Harley when Honda ran fine. I want every patch I see (except Dirty ones). I spend more more time at club activities than Church. I'm prouder of getting voted in and my club patch than ever getting my A & P certificate (working on it 18 months, so far.) I want to go on every run (even though Most give $$ to charities, I don't like long beer stops; I just wanna Ride. ) I visit the Angels' clubhouse "just to see" and dance with their women. I run red lights I would Never have tried before. My 'sickle Wants to go 5-10 over the limit or lugs down at one grand; so, I give her her head.
