That is the one big problem with using ECO in my Civic, on days above 80F the AC really isn’t that effective
I am surprised, this is not the case with the ECO mode selector (different then the ECO light that Toyota has) on the Avalon or ES350, yes the AC is not as cold for the first couple of minutes but it always ends up freezing me in about 10 minutes, even in California desert.That is the one big problem with using ECO in my Civic, on days above 80F the AC really isn’t that effective
Even though my Civic has dark tinted windows I find the AC just doesn’t work that well in ECO mode, it is nowhere near the level of my Corvette (although GM has always had much better AC than Honda as it is) My Corvette doesn’t even have dark tinted windows and the AC will still freeze me out after ten minutes
I am a real tightwad
It’s got more than enough ground clearance for the snow we get here. We really don’t get massive snow storms here where a foot of snow might be on the roads. Where I drive gets plowed frequently and I tend to stay home during the worst weather as well.
Zee09 all over dat
The concoction of salt they use in New York will destroy the underside of any vehicle in a few years. Not you're run of the mill rock salt. They changed the chemical composition of the liquid salt they use in conjunction with rock salt.,,so it doesn't re-freeze. HIGHLY corrosive stuff. Eating vehicles for breakfast. It bit them in the butt though, it also ate the galvanized highway drain pipes for the catch basins. Now their replacing them all, slowly, with plastic drain pipes. HaHaHaHa LOL Don't know what mixture they use in Canada.
$150.9/L
and that doesn't include an eclair from CT. 
.....Some car washes advertise it, and don't even have that !!!!! That brine is like salt paint sticking to the underside of the car. It's put down as a " Pre-Treatment" AND inside the plow truck tanks as they plow and salt. My cars have never had so much corrosion since they started using brine. DOT doesn't care about YOU'RE rust. It's you're problem, not their's. Gotta check my cars every spring and touch up spots here and there. My 03' Solara was built in Canada, and sold in US as new to my parents. Ended up in my hands. I've never seen such FANTASTIC factory rustproofing in my life. It was supposed to be sold in Canada, not U.S.A. Maybe their was a shortage of Solara's at the time. Whatever. Not a spot of rust on that car. Must have added hundreds of pounds to the weight of the car. I'm not complaining Sux living in a salt belt If you ever get the tint re-done look at getting Ceramic tint. I think 20% is the darkest on that at least at my local shop. I know searching way back the 50% ceramic blocked more IR than 5% dyed version. I have 30% on most of my cars.
Only issues with AC we've had in our CRV is from the leaking AC shaft and a condenser leaking. Other than that, when the system is actually working and not leaking, it's been fantastic. Same with our Odyssey. It'll freeze you out.
