Little features I'd like to see on a Civic...

eighteentee · 1st February 2008, 23:16

1. Auto lights with auto wipers. For example if the wipers go into fast mode then the headlights automatically come on.

2. Final wiper sweep. After you've used the washer jets, the wipers do one last sweep to get rid of any water left on the screen.

3. Auto-parking wipers. When you take the key out of the ignition the wipers should park instead of sticking where they are.

4. Auto-dimming rear view mirror.

5. Coming home lights.

6. Folding mirrors on arming / disarming via remote key.

7. Decent lumbar supports in the seats.

8. Height adjustable passenger seat.

9. Button on the remote key to just pop open the boot.

10. Auto sunblind on panoramic roof.

11. Air vents in the rear, i.e. in the rear of the armrest assembly.

12. Some factory fitted noise deadening in the doors.

13. Flip keys please!

14. Illuminated footwell as standard.

15. Choice of audible blip on arm / disarm of locking.

so not much then!

mrh339 · 2nd February 2008, 09:30

How about a couple of cannons to take out lane hogging german( but mostly bmw and audi) made car drivers and tailgaters?

smurf79 · 2nd February 2008, 10:44

We could hide them behind the grill or if you have no front fog lamps behind there, perfect place as no-one would suspect it. Got on motorway yesterday and no joke it was empty apart from me and another car. They were in the middle lane all the way for about 10 miles and thats when i lost sight of them in my rear view.

ritchie_perriam · 2nd February 2008, 12:57

i would agree with some but i think your being a bit pedantic on most!

9. Button on the remote key to just pop open the boot.
thats just lazy!

10. Auto sunblind on panoramic roof.
i like the sun shining through the glass roof! shorly that is the point of it! if it shut when the sun came out there would be no point in it being there!

12. Some factory fitted noise deadening in the doors.
its not bad! i doubt any other manufacturer is much better

14. Illuminated footwell as standard.
im glad they are an extra, i dont like them

How about making it mandatory for dealers to offer top notch service!

No chance.

Don't even get a decent service at the local church anymore!

......but you didn't even mention the rear anti rain thingys.

Like the idea of the 'boot/tailgate' button - no.9.

Often arrived at Millie's rear end with a handfull of supplies, that button would definitely help there.

There is a button that opens boot, it also opens all the doors.

lol funny thing about them requirements is my Golf GTI i traded in for the type r had most of them as standard.

Bit wrong there fella.

Button only UNLOCKS door and boot/tailgate.

Grubby mits have to do the rest.

Don't worry.

The worst words in the Engish language really are,

"'We have to talk'
or
'Who's bra is this?"

On my old MG ZR the ONLY way to open the boot was by pressing a button on the key! And I HATED it!! lol

I much prefer manually opening the boot!

13. Flip keys please!

Why does everyone stress out about non-flip keys? I actually like having a key, that is just that, a key!

A flip key is just something else that will eventually break and you will complain to Honda about!

Sporran · 2nd February 2008, 16:04

i liked flip keys and less chance of them bending in your pocket, best excuse was my mother's scotty terrier i used to flik it like a flik knife and he would go absolute bananas, this key doesnt have the same effect
