Question about different trims

civicer said:

I was very interested in the LX trim. I wanted to get a remote engine starter package with the car and as I was adding the costs up, I noticed it doesn't have smart keyless entry (thought it was universal with all trims). I started to check out the EX trim however the Honda site won't let me add the remote engine starter onto it, so I'm assuming it already has one but I can't find a source for it anywhere. Also, I'm looking into financing it, and in Ontario there is a 3.99% rate. Is there any better ones or is this the best I can get? For others in Ontario, how much of insurance am I looking at here? Thanks for all the replies.

Remote start is nice...wife's Pilot has it, but my next Civic will have a 6MT, so I know it won't be an option. I'm willing to suffer the consequences to have the 3 pedal option.

In the US, the specifications section of the Civic Sedan site is a great resource for this type of information.

http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-sedan/specifications.aspx

Under the Engineering section it lists "Remote Engine Start" on all trims above LX, so EX and above. Having said that I do know the Canadian trims vary greatly from the US trims, so look for the equivalent section on the Canadian Honda site to be sure.

Good luck.

Insurance varies by your age, your driving record etc

Thanks for the link. Is the EX-T worth the extra $2,000 for the turbo engine alone?

You can still get remote start for MT, not sure if honda offers it, but after markets do

Thanks buddy. I learned that in Canada EX and above have keyless entry and remote engine starter built in. Perfect for me.

If it's not too personal, how much are you paying for your insurance if you have a 2016 civic?

Really? Wow! I would have bet money that in our "litigation happy" society, no one would offer remote start on a manual due to liability. Then again, maybe the after markets aren't as concerned as OEM's. :surprise:

Its been available for years, if the car is not in neutral, the car will not start. Simple.

That's logical, but how does the ECU know the manual is not in neutral? Most modern manuals also require clutch disengaged and foot on brake. They must bypass that some how...hmmm.
