1. the bonnet does not open!!! wtf? i saw the dealer opened it once to show us and thats it. i tried to open it yesterday and it doesnt let me pull the 'trigger' you know the one next to the pedals. i think its stuffed.
in my car i have to pull it REALLY hard to get it to pop... at the risk of stating the obvious, have u tried pulling it harder?

i've heard of other civics with this problem, take it back to the dealer.

there's a known problem with the right-side engine mounts in both 1.8 and 2.0 civics - i recommend having the dealer check that one out for you.
