Compared to my first car, its a dream.. LOL.. Though I'm not sure that is saying all that much
the reason i brought this up is because when I complaining to my gf, she keep on saying she cant tell that theres problems with the car. she said loves it and want me to hand it to her once she get her P (only the size of it makes her thing twice) :s she can stand all the noises and stuff, but I (we) cant?
I think its a matter of personal opinion... if you not too picky or never buy/drive a better car before - e.g. your previous car was a 1981 Honda Accord that already rusty and broke down every 1 hr driving (not me guys!! ) then this is a very good car...
For me, I like to driving it and get used to the "noises" inside the car. And I still treat it like a baby (baby girl since its too sensitive - a bit of dust on the window, need to be sprayed... a bit dust on the wiper, need to be cleaned...)
I only claim my insurance for the window problem and might need to double check is "she" is one of the car get recalled for cruise and brake light problem.
Overall... I can give 7/10... well thats my personal opinion
PS: has anyone giving this car as his wife/gf/daughter first car? did she ever complaints about it?
im actually very fussy with my cars. family/friends have had quite a few big dollar cars and theyre usually nice enough to let me drive. i tend to take care of my car (although its a lil dirty atm im ashamed to say) and it really is a good car especially for $20K. it could be a little faster but u cant have everything... i drive dads car if i want to go fast
misses had a problem with hers plays up now and then
drivers window goes up to the top then just comes back down lol
i moved the window as it was going up and ive found its sumthing to do with the window rail that its bolted to it shifts back and forth (front to back - of the car)
honda said it was to do with the window track not being dry lubed but i reckon thats a whole load of bs, cause it still does it
hasnt done it recently, but when it does lol i'll make a video
drivers window goes up to the top then just comes back down lol
this is a very common problem apparently... every time i service my car at honda i always found excessive grease at the front and back edges of each window, looks heaps ugly i've heard other civic owners have had their entire windows replaced with ones that are made of thinner glass; not what you'd call an elegant solution!
poor honda, makes me wonder, do other manufacturers have this or should i say these problems...?
every manufacturer has their fair share of problems; it's when there's an expectation mismatch do smiles turn to frowns.
for me at least my civic has been quite the lesson in expectations i'd always thought a car would go for years without having any problems, such as the corolla, astra and getz that i owned before this one.
From that site for the Civic - "The brake pedal will shake/vibrate with noise as the pedal is press down and when the car is going over some uneven surfaces."
WOW this is common? Mine does this and I was going to ask at the service center at my 10K... Anyone else get this?
