and say you want to shut the radio off, and it wont... it says "radio
not responding"

simply hit the ctrl/alt/delete on the steering wheel, bring up the radio

The seats are adjustable,even if your arms aren't.

 

Nobody is complaining about the S2000 digital spedo.

 

even though i'm a fit owner i really like the digital speedometer in the civics and especially the location up high on the dash. i kinda wish i could have it in my fit.

 

Wow what a revival

 

lol, oops. didn't look at the date. :) i've been obsessing over civics lately.
