Had the car almost a month now, haven't noticed obvious problems
however, when going down a steep hill for eg. in a shopping centre carpark and braking, it seems like the vibrates and shakes. Already let the dealership about the issue in the 1st service but said they didn't notice anything unusual.
Windscreen wipers worked well for the 1st few weeks but after driving in rainy weather for the past weeks, i've noticed the condition has deteriated.

Few days after delivery date:
- rattle noises from the back bumper (possibly from parking sensor)
- airbag cover (A-pilar) is a bit open on driver side
- windows problem (as usual)
- wiper problem (as usual)
- back reverse light not bright enough
- interior get dusty easily
- A/C smells
now (1.5 years after) add:
- from almost full stop (really2 slowing down) then turn steer full to the side (right or left), then accell a bit hard... its like the machine strugling and confused on which transmission to use
- when doing 3 point parking, sometimes there's rattling noise from front left suspension/brake
- CD player scratch and cover my CDs with dust
- Oh, and the bumper seems to attract more car than girls! got smashed from behind 3 times in 1.5 years... ToT last one is 3 days from my bday last week
Bye2 Honda... Hello Mazda family

I have MY07 vti since Dec 06 and the only problem I had was a window issue, and apart from that it has been smooth driving since. From what I've picked up in this forum, majority of serious defects reported were directly or indirectly a result of people modifying their cars and as such voiding their warranties.

it was the abs kicking in to prevent your front wheels from locking while braking... from memory there was a topic about this a while back on the forum

Just over a year old. None of the usual civic bugs to report
Had 4 punctures all rear tyres. None on my other cars????? Michelin PP must be nail magnet.
only other grip is when I go uphill, noticed the auto reluctant to change up even when I ease up on the throttle (seems to hang on to 4000revs for ages).

thats why the dealer said to me if it was the ABS locking. He asked if I've felt ABS before which I have but it didn't feel the same. Maybe what he suggests and what you think is the ABS when braking. Noticed this a few times going down steep hills

to be honest, i've no problems with this civic.
only a/c smell, but it happen around the world :-)
never get window problems, brakes problems, etc

will servicing the aircon get rid the smells?
it feels bad when my friends jump into my car now..
fyi.. I always change the aircon filter..
-
not my fault for sure...well dealer has acknowledge problem..and wiling to repair it FOC..problem is parts might come from japan..instead of thailand.
Bottom line is..the reputation that HONDA carries..definately does not reflect on the new civics. Theres nothing much to do but just hope things dont go bad to worst in the next couple of years.
