#PRODUCTWATCH: 2018 HONDA CIVIC 5D SPORT
Last TIFF we had the joy of making a splash around town in the Civic 5D Sport and we were so thrilled to be reunited our Birthday Week with the 2018 edition of this gem! Over the course of the week, we practically adopted it as our v. own, learning its intricacies, rhythms and flows.
Fuel economy and performance make for that perfect combination in the 2018 Honda Civic 5D Sport. We’ve never felt more at home in a vehicle and would seriously consider making it ours. Plummeting gas prices this past week were a double-win for us, taking us far on value. We calculated two return trips from the east end to our day job downtown, barely leaving a mark on its fuel gauge using the car’s famous ECON mode. Not a surprise considering its combined 7.3L/100 km fuel economy. The car took us on many adventures, urban and rural performing with versatility on everything from highway to dirt roads. We were in control with its 180 @ 5500 (MT) / 180 @ 6000 (CVT) horsepower and 1.5-litre, 16-valve, Direct Injection, DOHC, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine.
The Honda Civic 5D Sport’s six-way adjustable driver’s seat is a new gold standard and we won’t accept anything less than that anymore! Spacious passenger seating (everyone gets heated seats!) meant friends could share in my journeys, including out favourite of all, little Billy! We saw the gorgeous countrysides of Caledon, the stunning Katherine Heigl and even our dream dad Tony Danza in a rare appearance out in Burlington of all places, making time for a stopping-off at one of our favourite spots, Kelly’s Bake Shoppe for a Birthday Cupcake!
Quality Time with the Prince and Princess
The car’s jam-packed with goodies and to us, great acoustics are almost just as important as the drive itself. Now, we were a little annoyed our Blackberry Key 2 simply wouldn’t pair via Bluetooth, fortunately we have our Samsung S8 Plus from which we streamed our Music. The Honda Civic 5D Sport comes with a 180-watt AM/FM audio system with MP3/Windows Media®Audio playback capability and 8 speakers. Our Birthday Week scored pretty much by the amazing A STAR IS BORN Soundtrack, only meant one thing! We had to do Caraoke to our favourite I’ll Never Love Again from the Film! We hope we did Lady Gaga some justice!
We are obsessed with the car’s highly-customizable climate control, which is managed through its 7″ colour TFT display system, giving driver and passenger each options for their own temperatures. A wireless phone charging plate and USB ports give us piece of mind that we’ll always be connected. The car’s deep armrest with slideable drink holders for our Birthday Reward Americano from Starbucks, is a thing of genius and a new standard we’ll hold others to. We love to shop, stocking-up when we have a car and that sizey hatchback trunk nails all the marks in practicality.
Safety as always with Honda vehicles is a priority. Its brake assist, forward collision warning, vehicle stability assist, i-SRS airbag system and SmartVent™ side airbags are life savers. We love that it also gave us sufficient notice that the car we test drove was due for maintenance soon.
We had such a tough time giving this one back, but can you blame us?

Superb drive to work today in the 2018 @HondaCanada Civic 5D Sport. Found that perfect traffic-free route to work. Got my @StarbucksCanada, @ladygaga and good to go! pic.twitter.com/sc3ELsXvRB

Hotel Transylvania owner Count Dracula (Adam Sandler) realizes he is lonely and decides it might be time for him to try and find love again after spending the last hundred years working non-stop. He attempts online dating but has no luck finding someone special. His daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) recognizes how tired and lonely her father is and takes it upon herself to both give him both a vacation and a chance at finding love.
She convinces Dracula to accompany her and the rest of their monster family on a luxury cruise so he can take a break from making everyone else’s vacations so perfect and take one himself for once. Although he’s initially reluctant, Dracula eventually agrees.
The group indulges in all the amenities and activities the luxurious ship has to offer.

However, as it turns out, she is the great-granddaughter of vampire-hunter Van Helsing, which leads Mavis to question Ericka‘s intentions.

#SPOTTED: TONY DANZA AT BURLINGTON PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE
A star of screen and stage, Tony Danza is a beloved American treasure. The People’s Choice Award winner has delighted audiences for years, whether it be his work on Who’s the Boss, Taxi, The Practice or eponymous The Tony Danza Show.
Though he was to star in Mirvish Productions‘ Toronto production of Honeymoon in Vegas in 2012, ultimately that wasn’t to be after a scheduling conflict. We’ve been waiting for his return ever since!
Danza was back in Toronto – or a bit west of it – playing the Burlington Performing Arts Centre last night, his second of two Canadian dates on his Standards and Stories Tour. Playing Ottawa also earlier this week, he delivered about 90 minutes of anecdotes from his storied career and classics by the liked of Bobby Darin and Tony Bennett.
Looking fit, Danza is in great form and was kind to stop for some photos with fans after a Meet & Greet following his Show. He even was asked about his popular namesake racehorse Danza, whose yearlings are just surfacing this year and it’s clear he is an ardent fan of racing! He still is proud of his third-place finish in the Kentucky Derby even after a bad bump!
See our Snap with Billy:
What a dream come true! We spent our childhood wishing he was our dad and that he and Judith Light‘s Angela on Who’s the Boss would wind-up together!
Danza currently can be seen on Netflix Series THE GOOD COP alongside Josh Groban!

Synopsis:
All Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer’s (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key—which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world.
It’s there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets.
Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara’s key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world.

#FIRSTLOOK: “TIGER” TRAILER STARRING MICKEY ROURKE
Mickey Rourke is back in upcoming Boxing Drama, TIGER!
Synopsis:
Tiger is inspired by the true story of Pardeep Singh Nagra, a practicing Sikh man who was banned from the sport of boxing due to his religious beliefs. Tiger follows Pardeep‘s journey as he, with the support of his coach and mentor (Mickey Rourke), does what every strong person would do, fight back! The backlash is a result of racial profiling, stereotypical threats, and the daily pressure to change, even from his loved ones who are caught in the midst of the cross fire. It is within the course of these challenges, and at his weakest moment, that he discovers love (Janel Parrish). Consequently, his legacy will be forever tied to his two biggest battles; one in the courtroom, the other in the ring.
See the Trailer:
TIGER hits theatres as follows: GTA (Toronto, Brampton and Mississauga), Vancouver and Surrey on Friday, November 30, 2018 and it expands into other major Canadian cities thereafter.
