Uhhh, yeah right. So, the question is, do all shift knobs twist or was this one just loose?

So, the Group President of my wife's division called her today and the negotiations have started. It looks like maybe about 95% odds that we're moving to HK in July.
With the above in mind, I wondered about the feasibility of having a car in HK and it does seem doable. In fact, many Ex-Pats bring their cars with them and either take them home when they leave or simply sell them in HK and split. That then begged the question, "Is it a better deal to buy here and ship over or to buy there?" The answer to that is still an unknown; however, a quick check of the Hong Kong Honda web site shows some interesting things. First off, the HK version of the Civic is only available with an Alloy Wheels, Automatic Transmission :P and Leather Interior, and is available with Automatic Climate control. Hmmm, how do I get my hands on a 5-Speed EX with leather and climate control? ;-)

My father had a very nice Nissan Stanza in Sri Lanka. Had all the options you could not get in the states, but still had a nice small efficient engine with a manual transmission.
Yeah, I thought about the Fit, however, I also find myself wondering about back seat room. My 13 year old is already 5' 6" and growing at the rate of 4" per year.
I'll keep y'all posted. ;-)

I would have a ball getting a car in HK. Probably wind up with some Espace type vehicle with a diesel engine and a stick shift.
I was there about 20 years ago, and I still remember looking out my hotelroom at a building accross the street and the lights were on at midnight and people were working away doing some light manufacturing - HK is always busy. Another thing that struck me was all the scaffolding is bamboo.
Get some good electronic equipment while you are there, and a fake Rolex. Sometimes they change the name just a little so they are legal. I remember seeing some Polex brand watches.
4" a YEAR? Yikes! How do you keep him clothed?
'Tain't cheap. ;-)

Yeah, if I could find some cool (as in not available in the U.S.A.) diesel variant or something like that then I wouldn't have to decide between paying HK prices or shipping one over from here. ;-)

Recently bought a 2007 Civic EX. Don't like the Floor Mats that the dealer gave me. Wanted to buy the OEM Honda Floor Mats, but most Parts / Accessories websites say that those are for DX only. However, the Honda website shows the same Floor Mats for EX also.
Does anyone know if those mats can fit the EX also?
Thanks!
even building an ex on honda's website still allows you to select a 'add floormats' option; i think that there are 2 different kinds; the cheapo ones that is kind of a courtesy mat, and then the real deal. surely if it was standard you couldn't select it as an option.
The only other floor mats I could see buying would be the all-season, for the winter months (but I'll probably pick those up this fall from a local after market parts shop).
Anyhow, my only concern was that most Parts / Accessories websites say that the ones with the Civic logo are for DX only...
At this car show were three different Civics, a Hybrid Sedan(which I get the impression isn't even available here, yet), a standard Civic Sedan and what is called a Civic VTi Sedan, so I kicked the tires and picked up a few brochures (the Hybrid didn't have a brochure, however, it looked like it was optioned pretty much like the VTi). Interestingly enough, both of the standard gasser versions of the Civic came standard with the following equipment:
- 4-Wheel disk brakes
- Cornering Toe Correction System (whatever the heck that is)
- Front Fog Lights
- Honda Anti-Theft system
- Full Leather Interior
- Power Retractable Mirrors
- Alloy Wheels
- 205/55 R16 Tires
In addition, the VTi had the following extra equipment standard:
- Side Mirror Turn Signal Lights
- Cruise Control
- Side Air Bags
- Factory Leather Steering Wheel
- Automatic Climate Control
Too bad some of these goodies aren't available on the Civic back in North America.

k5ldb: did this civic have the jdm styled front end? or did it simply look like ours with different equipment levels?
The reason I'm asking is that I presently own an 04 Malibu that seemed OK on short drives but has turned out to be a disappointment on long trips -- despite the many adjustments for steering wheel (tilt & telescope), driver's lumbar support, even adjustable foot pedals. After about the fourth hour, my lower back aches, plus my right shoulder (although I suspect that's due mostly to all the hours I spend mousing on the computer).
I'd like an Accord, or better yet a CR-V, but my budget can only cover a Civic LX or possibly EX.
This is what I am doing -
1) I hit the Sel/Reset button until the oil life and B1 code show up;
2) I hold the Sel/Reset button for 10 seconds, but nothing happens - there is no blinking, nada. How does the B1 code get reset?
I always thought that you can't go wrong with a Civic, this only serves to enhance that belief.
