    the half leather and halve velvet seats are hard to clean with vacuum compared to full leather.

    • CD player doesn't show track time
    • Climate control doesn't seem to come out the forward dash vents?
    • Touchy throttle down low


    Other than that, I reckon it's a great car and cr*ps on any similar car at that price.

    I think you can press the mode thingy do direct air to the forward dash vents....
    You will get use to the throttle... its pretty nice once you get the feel of it.

    the latch/lock for the glove box is crapola, to much pulling force needed to open it (one handed that it), i think thats why most peoples boxes are now alittle lop sided (all the euros i personally know have this prob), as in the gap is not uniform across the whole glove box. so you need to use one hand to push the box and the other to pull the latch.

    a small gripe for a great car.

    Glove box latch is crap - I agree and that it often 'catches'. I don't use much pulling force but find that giving the glove box a good 'whack' will release it. Try that first 80057 rather than snapping the glove box :P

    Potenza REO40's wear too quickly, especially with a tyrewear rating of 180. I just replaced these with the less noisy C-drives for $1200 fitted/aligned/balanced. They don't grip quite so well (understeers more) but are otherwise fine.

    Paint chips easily.

    Replacing any part is expensive.

    Agree that the half leather/half velvet is too hard to vacuum.

    Wish they had a sunroof in the limited/sport edition + Xenons which would just be perfect. Or at least as an option.

    Window scratches tint too easily if felt not applied and excessive wind-noise if the tint installer bent the trim back instead.

    Radio antennae gain is a bit low and causes some problems occasionally with my iTrip boost nano.

    Rear legroom is a bit lacking/cramped, especially room under the seats.

    Automatic transmission, especially from first to second isn't very smooth on my car.

    Paint chips easily.

    I think that's all I can think of at the moment. By the way, I love my car!

    bah, i hardly use the glove box, the centre console compartment is big enough for my bits and pieces, only the log books are in the glove box.

    1. owners manual is super thick. honda can customise the Euro for different countries but can't edit the owners manual to be relevant to that country? it occupies close to half the glove compartment!

    2. for the 5AT - in tiptronic mode, it automatically downshifts, and sometimes does not allow the driver to upshift if the car is perceived to be going too slowly.

    Don't leave the heavy manual in the glovebox. You'll find your glovebox sagging on the right side after a while.

    Time to bitch.....

    Not gonna bitch too much, cause I love this forum and you guyz all cool, but.......time to knit pick hehe.....

    MODEL - 06 Euro LXRY automatic...

    1) Bad blind spot on drivers side (for my height anyway)

    2) Rattles scattered through the interior of the car ( glovebox, dash in several locations :- windscreen, sunroof issues, power window switches, speaker pods, rear parcel shelf. (solution....EARPLUGS !!)

    3) Not enough power

    4) Stock height like driving a 4wd, LOL

    5) Squeeky drivers seat

    6) Lost alot of money btw seat and centre console still havn't got em out (like a money box...tight !!)

    7) Front doors too heavy, easy to slam (was told they real doors)

    8) Tint scratching problems...had them replaced three times, they changed the trims too softer/different ones now can hear the road.

    9) Carpets/mats SH*t !! Wear too easily (cheap)

    10) OEM tyres CRAP !! (have cheap written all over it)

    11) Need fast foward on the steering wheel...FULL function steering wheel, DAMN IT !!

    12) Tramlining (shocking)

    13) Heater/Ac lets out bad odour when I accelerate

    14) Lack of colour selection, both interior and out

    15) No automatic closure of sunroof.

    16) No memory for drivers seat.

    17) Oem mp3 player $600-$700.......ROFLOL

    18) Oem battery equivilent to mazda 121 battery (cheap !!)

    19) Alignment issues

    20) Lack of customer support from Honda Australia....."We all wrong, our car is invinsible/faultless attitude" not too mention denial of problems (thank god for the internet and forums like this one).

    Too answer some of the questions regarding " Then why did you buy one?".......most of these problems appeared 5000 klm's + stupid me didn't do my homework first.

    Value for money, YES....If you want to buy a motor, drivetrain.

    Interesting...I don't really seem to get/notice most of the problems you mentioned LXRY.

    Maybe the euro YOU got in particular wasn't made well or you are just too picky hehe.

    I think the euro has plenty of power, but that depends on what you drove before, and it's something you'd research before you buy.

    Although I do agree there are some things a lot of people hate about the euro, I think the euro has the least amount of things to hate about in comparison to other cars in the same price range, e.g. Mazda 6.
    So it's a matter of which car has the least of problems because I'm sure we all know there is no such thing as a perfect car =P

    After having the whole runthrough on a Merc C280 at the dealership, it makes the Euro look so pathetic in terms of build quality, luxury, safety, features, control, engine power, handling, zero rattles at ear splittling audio volume and it even has Continental ContiPremiumSport2 tyres as stock!
