first up, your best telling us how he drives civilised/manic, what the problem is with his car, what car he has, and nobody is going to flame honda on a honda site....

they claim civilised but the thing i dont get is who puts an intake system in there car then drives civilised but still that problem of the blown engine shouldnt of happen.

probs with FD

Drivers window fell off the rails.
Rattling noises everywhere.
Windscreen wipers screw up after about 2 weeks.

For me:

The little grille that you need to remove to change foglamp bulb. It is very hard to pull out and very hard to put back. It will sometimes move and bend the clips a little. Eventually it will break.

Low beam bulb is so hard to get to. You need to go from the fender and remove 2 studs (as stated in manual). It is impossible as about 7 studs needs to be removed and fender needs to be flexed. I think this is a design fault. Low beams sound be accessible from the engine bay.

Driver and passenger window runners dry up, this is extremely common, spray them with silicon lube and all is good.

And the trim pieces near the front A pillar trim dont seem to sit well. And the only other problem ive seen is a drive belt tensioner let go.

Thats about it.

i know a few people who claim they have rattling noises from their fds but all turned out to be objects that they have in their car which is causing the noises. the guy who claimed he had a rattling noise turned out to be the 'the six star solution tin case' given when you buy the car kept in the glove box.
