What do you dislike about your Civic Hatch??

[blastnpast]

Thought I'd start this thread up haven't seen one on here for civic hatchbacks only for sedan :)

[~Sp33~]

The thing i dislike most about hatches, is that they don't have 4 doors and a boot.

[sexy_shazam]

The fact that I don't have Vtec

[chow_tofu]

i dislike how my hatch opens 'twice' the top and the bottom...

[androo]

I love how the hatch opens 'twice'!! It's so awesome! I hate the look of the climate control + the shape of the dash in that area (not hatch specific).

I don't hate it, but the size of the boot is really small... That's the only thing.

[dougie_504]

It looks like a woman's grocery cart from behind IMO.

[curtis265]

i also loved the double opening... Range rover style

[Oz_Striker]

i hate how because i live in a town with mainly commodore's and fords that i get picked on for having a hatch with a few mods! need to vent somewhere lol at least i don't blow all the money i work hard for on fuel and rear tyres though :P

PS: not dissing V8's here (my dad used to have an XT GT back in the day) i just don't like the culture

[m.o.d.aus]

I dislike having only 'ctec' and hardly any interior

But the second one's my fault :p

with you on that, bogan towns hate anything thats not commo or falcon...

Dislike, the public cant distinguish the difference between all the ek's so to em its just another civic lol

[Frosty-Civic]

for being a d series

[blastnpast]

I love the double opening also :D

Gotta say I dont dislike my ek at all lol love every bit about it..

Nice to see a few posts have been congregated here keep them going :)

[projectsti]

major dislike... my cupholders can't hold a large maccas drink, a powerade or a bottle of mount franklin ...

[dougie_504]

Amen. And it's too big for red bull etc haha

[androo]

Oh and mine doesn't come with cup holders. I know it was the early 90s but I can't believe it wasn't standard... And no arm rest!! Also that its a carby (GL)

[curtis265]

my egg shitted me cos ther ewas no cupholders.. and nowhere to put my phone and wallet too.. Just no storage spaces at all

[dougie_504]

Yeah I have nowhere for phone/wallet. Sucks. At least my CRX has a little compartment under the din...

[sexy_shazam]

Least you have cup holders!

bought a drink yesturday and then went were the eff do i put it?

luckily i have a little compartment on the lower part though that i can store it in.

I sorta hate not having a tachno though which im used to so it was weird not having one.

[~Sp33~]

Between the handbrake and the seat?

[sexy_shazam]

Between the handbrake and the seat?

If that comment was aimed at me its the flat sorta storage compartment under the am/fm radio.

I just put my phone and wallet there and rest the drink in between so long as its about half way it holds fine just dont take any sharp corners.

[JDM-derek]

no cup holders lol

[Oz_Striker]

i get a large ice coffee every morning from Macca's, to the point now where i now don't really have to order. I still tell them what i want but they start making it as soon as they hear my car because it's always sitting on the ledge where you get your food from before i've even paid lol anyway to the point, i also have to use the compartment inbetween my seats for my drink, but i use my water bottle or my Hi Vis vest to make sure it doesn't flop about. Still, not having cup holders is a p*ss off

[Riced_Civic]

that i have a D-series.

[blastnpast]

Lol at all the cup holders :D I had to buy some external source ones coz I needed them bad enough!

[jeremydawg]

i got the cup holders out of the eg6 for my eg. I dont like the fact that people think your a ricer because you drive a honda!

[curtis265]

u need to get over that, if u can't handle it go drive a camry instead. People will always hate.

[jeremydawg]

who said i couldnt handle it i just dont like it! ive only been driving a honda for 5weeks. used to drive a rwd ke70. its quite a change. If you cant handle haters who hate haters go hate something hate-worthy...hater :p

[waix]

the grey interior.

[curtis265]

mind = blown

[Riced_Civic]

tell them u can get 600+km out of a full tank and see if their car can do that.

i say that all the time to may mates who drives evos wrx commos and S15s

[blastnpast]

Exactly! It's a pretty special thing about civics haha I love my 600+ km

[dougie_504]

I never get 600+! I only get about 450 before the fuel light comes on normally. So probably 500 out of a tank. All suburban driving though...

[blastnpast]

Haha honest? I have never seen my fuel light :/ even sitting on 605klms

Anyways I dislike how much power is lost when the aircon is on .. Then again maybe it's the d series engine lol

[dougie_504]

Yeah I haven't re-gassed mine the whole three years I've owned it. It really sucks sometimes, but I just hate the A/C. The air doesn't smell fresh and the car feels even worse down low for torque.

[Kempe]

Dislike the paint work, paint is soft and appears to be low quality compared to other makes

[jeremydawg]

yeah i agree, when i put my aircon on it feels like a sohc... down from my dohc. I dont mind the paint work. compared to other cars its pretty good. take for instance mitsubishi, i think they have the worst paint ever!!!

[SajadEG]

hate how i get stalked every day by bitches who think i look cute in my EG, and when i ask if they give sexy time, they become innocent.

where the gangaz at bro?

[sexy_shazam]

tell them u can get 600+km out of a full tank and see if their car can do that.

Woow what sort of trip do you drive?

I drive 3 - 5km trips and atm my cars almost half way with only 173kms.

[jeremydawg]

i dont get 600+ eithier... mainly because i vtec at every opportunity

[sexy_shazam]

I got a cxi so no vtec but i like to think that i do drive it hard once in a while lol.

Also could be my tire pressure. Whats a good tire pressure to have to improve fuel consumption?

[quangsuke]

i hate how my rear windows dont open up like other hatches

[blastnpast]

Lol I drive from penrith - Artarmon 5 days a week and the other 2 days are basically little drives around the place ..

And my air con is powerful and smells fresh as just lacks the power out of the engine haha stupid d16y series :)

The paint I love Honda paint :/ u sure your hatch hasnt been resprayed by some mitsubishi panel shop haha

[UkuleleGod]

I hate my Milano Red paint job, which despite hours and hours of constant polishing and cleaning, still fades.

[blastnpast]

Lol thats a paint defect not a hatchback fault but ey I had the same issue with my Milano red integra :D

[dougie_504]

^ lol that sucks. Red is overrated.

I love the Frost White for 92-95 Civic. IMHO it looks nicer than CW. CW just looks too cold or something. The frost white stays clean and never fades. Looks great when freshly polished too :D

[UkuleleGod]

Red looks nice, but lets just say I won't be buying a Red Honda again. I wonder if you can get the same red resprayed but in a heaps thicker form?

I have seen some pretty nice Frost white civics, but I would still kill to have mine in CW.

[jeremydawg]

Nai doubt it. red is a high maintenance colour, it will always fade if you dont wash/wax it. My bro has a red car, he hasnt washed it an ages... looks pink lol. You could get a respray but thats expensive, especially for an old car wont be worth it.

[blastnpast]

Lol at all the speculations about red :D post more things about hatch back civics yo!

But on the topic of red.. It did suck having a nice car with the roof fading away slowely :(

[UkuleleGod]

Okay :P

The location of the cup holders in my EK. Cannot fit a large slurpee in due to height.

[jeremydawg]

i HATE the fact that i can only fit three chicks in my car

[androo]

i HATE the fact that i can only fit three chicks in my car

Mine takes 4 fine =] just make sure the hottest one sits in the middle since you'll be looking at her face every time you check the rear view mirror.

[~Sp33~]

Must be fat chicks.

[jeremydawg]

[jase89]

i dislike my sunroof not opening all the way up.. And
Having to push it up while your driving..

[jeremydawg]

Atleast you have a sunroof! which brings me to my forgotten dislike... i dont have a sunroof.
you can request a diy in diy thread. or just post your own thread asking how to fix your prob.

I run 30 in mine. Gives me a nice comfortable ride. I'm just on the stock 14" Alloys.

[sexy_shazam]

I'll try running on 32 tomoz this should also give me better range on the tires as well. Btw when's the best time to change the pressure? Sorry if I seem like a noob I'm new to owning a car

[UkuleleGod]

Hey mate, I personally don't think the time in which you change the pressure really matters. Just go up to the petrol station air pump, and set the pressure to 32. Then it should just pump your tires to 32 and you will be sweet.

Just checked all the air and turns out there above 30 so i pushed them all to 34.

Not sure whats the max for my tire but i think ill leave it at 34 for now.

read the max pressure on your tyre

[UkuleleGod]

^ ^

+1 to that

[dougie_504]

Most tyres max are over 40+. I use 36 on my daily with 195/50/15 on 15x6. Used to run 34 on 215/40/17 with 17x7.
