Good Text Size on an Instrument Cluster

Feb 21 2016

I find the text and icons are too small on many instrument clusters, and poorly placed off to the side.

This cluster’s is large and clear, and placed directly in the centre. Proper.

(the above appears when Lane Departure is switched on/off)

This can be read using your peripheral vision,
leaving your eyes where they belong – on the road.

Found on the fully-redesigned 2016 Honda Civic.

Fastest Way to Spot an All-New 2016 Honda Civic

Feb 15 2016

The tail lights.

The fully-redesigned 2016 Civic’s lights are larger, sharper and now dominate the entire rear end.

An attractive amount of added aggression eh.

(Good sentence for words that start with a vowel huh)

Blog tag = Honda Civic (17)

How I Submitted my Taxes

Dec 30 2015

In a premium Honda ad spec ha. Auto for life.

Handed over during my accountant and my annual end-of-year lunch. Every year I say the same thing, “THIS is the year the blog pays off, I just know it.”  And he smiles and says something encouraging, even though every year I’m wrong.

Except this time… after all these years, this one I’m right.

Friendly reminder – Headlights Dim 10% Per Year

Oct 26 2015

If you can’t remember when the bulbs were last changed,
it’s probably time to install new ones.

If it’s been 3+ years, visibility is reduced by 30%. A third! And here come the dark winter months.

Takes 15 minutes to change them, costs about $60, learn more here.

It’s a 1973 Honda Civic.

Wrote a column about it – 1973 – When a Side Mirror Was Optional

Trying to Define What Makes a Luxury Vehicle

Sep 21 2015

At what point does a regular vehicle become a luxury one?

It’s tough to pin down! In trying to find one defining element, instead I came up with a bunch of what it’s not –

  • it’s not price,
  • nor number of units sold,
  • it’s not the type of gas it uses,
  • it’s not the number of features it’s equipped with,
  • nor the type of materials it’s finished with.

Plus! People’s benchmark of luxury can vary greatly.. what’s really nice to one may not to another, like – they’re happy with jewelry from People’s, I prefer Piaget.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

The only argument that seems to hold is in regards to the one thing that can’t be held or touched – perception. Perhaps that’s it, then – luxury is defined by whoever’s advertising dollars are better at convincing us that something is high-end.
