Hey Z71;

What about some Pics

Like up close and then back off some so we can see the side of the car woth front and rear wheels showing. All, what size and type of tires did you go with when you switched to the EX Wheels?

Hows that Fuel Mileage after the Change?

Regards;

Terry

 

Put in another vote for the manual tranny.....

Sorry I just don't trust Honda's CVT in the long term.

 

Oh look they do make kits for the 04-up\

See I'm sharing!!

Cool huh?

 

COLORS! What a weak color palette. The best Civic colors aren't available on the hybrid. As the most expensive Civic, the entire color range should be available.

Lumbar adjustment in the seats. Why cheap out here? Maybe they think 'greenies' are used to being uncomfortable.

Wheel choices. The stock ones are hideous, and since Honda says the the weight of the HCHII's wheels are proprietory information, it makes it difficult to shop for alternatives.

 

You probably should have spent the money and wait for the Prius.

I think the price to features ratio in the Civic is perfect.

 

How about Homelink? My wife has it in her HiHy and loves it. I'm thinking the Acura TSX lights and console would fit in an HCHII.

A couple of simple things. #1 - a hidden change drawer like the '05 CRV has. I need a place to put quarters and there realy isn't any place that is right in my HCH2. #2 - also from the CRV - a sunglasses holder on the roof.

On the larger side, Xenon headlights would be nice, a moonroof would be a good option even if it does cost a bit of mileage. I'm not sure I'd be willing to sacrifice trunk depth for a fold down backseat - they need to put the battery somewhere - but it would be handy.

 

Forgot about that. Want that too

 

The new 2006 HCH still has that stupid antenna on the roof. They should put the antenna in the front or rear glass. I can't believe they did that again. The regular Civic is cleaner outside than the HCH.

 

The reason the antenna is not in the glass is it would pick up magnetic fields from all the current near the hybrid battery.

I think the external antenna looks very cool.
