Are there problems with my Civic

i drive peak hour thru harbour tunnel + eastern distrubutor forward and back...and i'd hate to have a manual in that situation...dsg ftw...hope honda gets that stuff soon

Yeah I have the auto, awesome I love it

its just a combination of small capacity engine, drive-by-wire, and as onion was saying... incline of road hahaha!

at least after the lag, its a bit of an instantaneous hit! usually drive by wire is incorporated with all the safety aids, but my stoopid civic hasnt got any? just ABS... good job honda. not.

For example, the second gear is most significant on this issue(all on flat surface, same RPM), sometimes if I release the accelerator, say 30km/h the car suddenly knock and slow down very quickly. However, some other time, same condition, 30km/h flat surface, the car rolls very smoothly after accelerator is removed. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

By the way, I had it since Dec 2006, so it is not my head or imagination.

Yes, i notice that sometimes, but it is usually when going up and down hills.

I have the same problem as well, first i though it was only my car. However two of my frd who drove civic (manuel) have this issue .First gear to second gear u do feel like it is lagged and lack of power (flat surface). It is more noticable when u up or down slope.
PS: i got my car on early april this year
