Hi all,
I recently bought my first ever Honda.It is slightly used Civic Sedan 2012 VTI-L.The civic has travelled 12k kms and was serviced recently as per log book(I am not an expert so all I can see there were no issues recorded what so ever). My question is as opposed to corolla(I also drive Toyota Corolla current gen), when I press accelerator pedal,My foot feels a slight clicking or vibartions sorta feeling in low RPMs while for corolla it is very soft. It feels like winding a mechanical watch or some sort of resistance though its very minor. I drove a 8th Gen civic before just once and felt the same way. is it normal for recent Honda`s or something wrong with the unit I got?

I am Sorry if i didn`t make myself clear here.

Thanks

Auto or manual?

Just so you know the civic is a drive by wire.

Thanks for the response. It is automatic!I took it to Honda and they test drove it and reported no issue. So is it because of DBW???cant explain it fully but it is sort of random vibration like a tuning fork..looked up different posts...learned mixed things...some say it is ABS activation or DBW?
