10th Gen Sedan owners...…??

Can you see your hood, from the driving position ??

I have not seen mine for years now (8th & 9th Gen owner)

Thank You !!

My experience (albeit hatch, not sedan, but the front end geometry is very similar -- all the front end body panel part numbers are the same, IIRC, sligth difference in bumper due to styling), it's easier to see the hood than an 8thgen. Went outside and took some pics for you, since it can kinda vary by how you adjust the height of the driver's seat. I'm 5'7", just to give you a frame of reference.

Driver's seat at it's highest adjustment. You can see the hood fairly well, though, it's kinda unclear where the edge of the car is just by looking alone. Even though I have a few inches clearance above my head, I feel like my head will hit the ceiling on a good bump.


How I have my seat adjusted (about 20 "pumps" of the height adjustment down from highest adjustment). I blacked out the asphalt so you can actually tell where the hood is.


Seat fully adjusted down. Can't see the hood for **** except for the little bump on the side (right by Iron Man's hand). Okay, well maybe a little. The angle of my vision looks right down the surface of the hood, not really discernible in everyday driving. For all intents and purposes, I can't see the hood from this angle. I usually like sitting low, but damn, this position is hella low.

Thanks for the info & photos.....

After the 2010 (seat would NOT stay up) I hardly have messed with the 2013s height adj.

No big deal, have not seen it in so long..... no big deal if I cant.

I've got a 10 gen Civic LX, and I can't see the hood. I seem to remember the chat when I had my 6 gen Civic that the lower dash and hood was a Honda design feature which added to the driving experience. Anyway, after driving Sentras for many years, I find the Civic a superior drivers car_._

I have the 2019 Civic touring and I can see the sides, where it's raised, but that's it. I kinda like it though It's the only car where I've been able to see the hood. Doesn't bother me.

I miss the huge cars of the 60s and 70s with hoods that were about an acre in size LOL

And you could sit on them without worrying about denting them
