8th Gen Issues - Shame on you Honda

[chylld]

There are only a select few people who have come across these faults

i was selected?

This guy who had 20+ 'faults' including 'string hanging out from the bottom of the seat' or watever I personally do not find that as a fault and its just overkill to call half of those things 'faults' when its obvious that he's just putting them there just to make a big deal out of the number of 'faults' he has.

topic detailing the 20+ faults with my civic: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67596

every one of those issues, except the string one, i have a problem with. i showed them to the service manager and the district manager, and both of them agreed that i have reason to be concerned about the quality and safety of the car, and that i shouldn't have any of these problems in the first place. amongst myself, a district manager, a service manager and you, you are the only one who doesn't recognise the fact that i've been handed a bit of a lemon.

The most common faults that these cars have are obviously the power windows are messing up or the car door doesn't close properly. Other than that its a sweet value for money car and you pay for what you get.

i like the way your message rounds itself off... "you have to be picky for your car to be as defective as this guy's, you won't have any problems, oh except for the windows and the doors." i should clarify for Arcturus here: for some owners, the problem with the window is that it might physically dislodge itself from its rails and stick out of the car. unless clem is referring to the other problem with the windows where the auto-up function fails (window comes right back down.) scott's honda artarmon has recognised both these issues.

another problem that might soon be an addition to the 'common problems list' will be the engine mount which is already recognised as a problem in america and will soon be recognised as a problem here. it concerns the right-side engine mount and applies to both 1.8L and 2.0L civics. the relevant tsb# is 06-060; a replacement engine mount is available under warranty.

Just don't have high expectations of quality and you won't be disappointed

i will agree with this point. my standards were set by a hyundai getz, and i was disappointed... my bad.
