The wiper arms move freely by hand when the car is off. This is contrary to how wipers have worked on most cars for, well, as long as it matters to anyone alive today. If you move them there by hand and then turn on the car, the wipers will return to "home". That being all the way down in...

Because for 75 years, common cars didn't need this feature. I argue they still don't. And for this feature to exist on cars in a way that make it a DAMAGE risk if you do something wrong, is a horrible design mistake. I also believe that if they are going to start adding more and more of these...

It is frikking annoying but I guess, those CO2 accountants will be happy.

Well, that is a little hyperbolic. Modern engine management systems would have to encounter wild variations in fuel air mixtures for them to be outside of what it can deal with to eliminate knock. And I'll fight ya on the decreased gas mileage.

You don't NEED to use 91+ with a tune but I know it is better if you do.

Thanks! I thought I was done growing my career but fate stepped in back in June.

Not yet. Winter is upon us and my son is the primary driver of the car where I work from home. He was why we have the new 2022 and is still not fully comfortable from having written off the 2017. Definitely doing it in the spring though. My boy will be 19 so he will have to have gotten over...

Finally remembered to check tonight and no, it doesn't. At least not activated the same way. Haven't looked in the manual though.

I should see if our 2020 CRV has the same mode or not... Something to check when my wife gets home today.

What is actually funnier is that the manual says to not operate the wipers when the glass is dry and yet, here they are with a damned maintenance mode that does just that! lol

Oh I agree but eventually, the buyers start making additional value proposition calculations. Things like the fact that the US Si won't get the full 10" MID is just insane. As an example, I had a 2017 Canadian EX with Honda Sensing and was really only dissatisfied with the cloth upholstery...

Nope. There are no Tariffs on vehicles made in the US and Canada that go back and forth for retail sale. As for the new Si and as an owner of a 22 Touring Sedan, here is my take: Get a touring, get a tuner, be a sleeper with ALL the creature comforts. Done. Other than suspension changes...

There has been at least one AA update and my experience has greatly improved so it could be an issue with Apple CarPlay and Apple just needs to investigate and fix it.

Wow, that is getting nuts if it is to stop the theft of wiper arms...

That strip on the nose and a blackout on the chrome on my Touring and it would be just marvelous! I wonder if a good PPF company that does wraps could do that for a decent price... ?

I should note that I tested turning on the car fully (Engine started) and the wipers will indeed stay in maintenance mode until you take them out so it is a very safe mode, if not a seemingly stupid thing to design/need to design into a car.

OK, so here this goes.... There was a thread PSA warning people about the wipers on the 2022 Civics and the edge of the hood. I am here to bring everyone up to speed (Those that aren't) as to the totality of this "feature". On the 2022 Civic, there is actually a maintenance mode. The info is...

Will do!

HA! I'll make it a point to update on just that :P On the upside, the sort of splitter that is at the bottom of the grille at least acts as a form of extra structure.

Not yet. I want to go for a couple more drives on known different pavement conditions around me and drive between 90 and 120 KPH to see what is or isn't happening. Just to rule out the possibility of roadway surface having been the issue or not. Also, it is a super specific problem so there...
