I bought the '22 Civic EX-L hatchback on Saturday. I took Scotch's suggestion about just using my phone as the mp3 player. Winamp for Android sucked but I found AIMP which is pretty good so far. The only disadvantage is you can't just play a single song, you have to make playlists. Fortunately doing that is pretty easy, just takes some work building them.
I had to stop using Verizon Message+ and use the default Samsung Messages to see texts on my screen. That means I lose my cool auto-reply to texts while driving. Mine was "Here in my car, I feel safest of all. I can lock all my doors. It's the only way to live - in cars." But since I can now respond to texts using my voice easily, I suppose auto-reply won't be necessary anyway.
Yesterday, I read through most of the manual learning about new features like Lane Assist, Crash Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control, Climate Control Sync, etc etc etc.
The only sour part is the extended warranty which is "just like buying new" (that's what I 'verified' with the saleslady) is actually 3rd party. She insists it's seamless and still exactly the same. Well, until she mentioned the $100 deductible each time you bring it in. So that seems to be the only hitch.
Crazy story, so the car was bought in late January and used while the guy was waiting for his Bronco to come in. When it came in 2 1/2 months later, he traded the Civic in when buying the Bronco. He bought weather mats for all 4 seats and the hatchback and the door trim to drive it for 10 weeks. Must have been a corporate expense. Nobody would do that with their own money.
