Congratulations. Have you got the manual yet? If not there are online ones available which are also downloadable. I have downloaded one from the net and it is the same as the booklet which came with the car. |

I guess this thread will become more relevant to me. I am close to booking 2012 Civic VMT Sunroof. OTR price offer is 16.30L as opposed to bloated 17.13L in price list. For now, I will go with Honda Assure as part of free insurance offer. May switch to normal insurance next year, if the difference continues to be high. Civic is on the top of list, post my test drives of Altis, City, and Cruze. I gained a lot by reading through long term ownership posts. A quick question as well: If I can demand for specific brand of tyre, what should it be? Any other such demands possible? Please suggest. Thank you. |

the 'S' or sports mode. In this mode, actually it will NEVER shift into 5th on its own, unless you force it using the paddles. It holds the lower gears at higher RPM/speed so you get instant acceleration / deceleration just like a MT. |

Same here. No luck getting an alloy wheel for the spare when I bought my Civic in July 2010. Just curious, what has changed about Honda sales in the recent past? Regards, spadix |

Is this true? I thought in S mode all gears upshift at higher rpms. Once paddles are used in S mode, then the AT will never upshift on its own. |

Once the paddles are used in S mode, the system still upshifts and downshifts on its own. But the upshifts happen only if you hit the redline. I do Update on my FE: The FE has improved quite a bit after the reset. The FE on the previous fill was 7.46. On this one, the FE (including both pre and post reset drives) is up to 9.01 (75% distance covered prior to reset). This is the first time since we got the car that the FE has crossed 9 in 100% city driving with 100% Climate control set on 24. Will fill up again today and update the new-improved FE in due course. |

Does it upshift on Redline? My AT doesn't do that. It will only downshift if your speed goes below a particular level. Maybe the newer models have this feature. Mine is 2007. In S mode if you don't touch the paddles the gear shifts will happen only at higher revs automatically. As soon as you use the paddle it will wait for you to upshift. |
