That last point is interesting. I've never had an issue getting filters for my old accord. What year civic did you have the issue on? My cabin filters on that car were about 1/3 the cost to get it replaced unless it was bundled into other maintenance. Even then I still saved some money. Maybe it's an issue of where we're both located or something? I'm not sure.
It was a 2006 Civic, and the filters were not available for the first five years or do. They finally started appearing in auto parts stores a few years before I got rid of it, but by then it was too late
My Civic was also a bit of a lemon that I had to get rid of after only 10 years. The paint was peeling off and there were electrical problems, that would cost more to fix than the car was worth
Gotcha. I had a '13 Accord that I bought on a lease return. Bummer you got a lemon. Pretty unusual for a Honda in my experience.
