List your New civic problems here

Why is it not something to be concerned about? This noise is gradually getting louder, and wasn't present when I bought the car.

I got the same prob, and its there from the 1st time I drive the car (and teh demo car I drove as well). Bring it to my mechanic (non honda) and ask, they said its normal (as in nothing wrong with it). but hey, we cant say that your case and mine is 100% the same cant we?

Problems

Been fixed
- Poor Paint (bubbling on the roof) my roof was resprayed a week after I bought the car.
- Vent on the far left (passenger side) of the dash wouldn't fit properly, was replaced/repaired.

Being fixed next week (10,000KM service)
- Fuel cap door doesn't open when I push lever, have to keep pushing and get someone to pry it open to top up fuel.. serious PITA
- Drivers door doesn't open well, I think it is just not sitting in well so is really hard to pull level to get it to open.
- Drivers side window when down won't go up again without me guiding it up (pulling up with one hand whilst using electrics with other)..

Not meaning to bash Honda (but hard to not) I do find that the general fit and finish inside my Civic is rather poor, but from what I hear this is extremely variable, with some people having many faults and others having none..

I have something similiar with my VTI. When reversing the car and putting it in drive (I do stop fully when doing this), there is an audible and sometimes load 'click' noise when I start to drive off.

Ohh I get this too, though sounds more a loud clunk to me, even if I came to a full stop before shifting, it makes no difference as soon as I touch the throttle *clunk*... It seems so common I think it is a feature not a fault..

I just put down a deposit on a Civic Sport, picking it up in 3 weeks.

Actually, choose it over a Subaru Impreza and used Toyota Prius.

With all this talk about faults, I'm starting to wonder now if I made the right decision....

You made the right choice trode12 but would you prefer a WRX over a civic sports? You will hunger for more power

Hi Frost,

Not a question of more power, but of reliability and the package as a whole.

Was comparing the Impreza RS vs the Civic Sport. I liked the overall quality of the RS esp low NVH levels but the fact that it runs on 98ROM fuel and it has a 8.8L/100km thirst killed it for me.

[Frost_FD]

Wow impreza run on 98 only?? well my civic runs on 98ron =)

Well if you compare it to the impreza rs not the wrx then of course buy the civic sports without question. I forgot they had a new look on the wrx so go for the civic hands down!

The Subie RS and Civic Sports are in the same price bracket ($30-32K). While the WRX should be compared to CTR and VW Golf ($39-42K). I can't afford the latter group.

Thats a common problem on the civic (world wide). looks like they have yet to fix it fom a design point of view.

[warwick108]

only problem Ive had is the window.. and thats due to the windows being new..
joele.. I think u have the same problem with me.. not really a problem mate.. the dealer just put some lube on the window and its all good.. its a safety function in the civic.. in case someone gets caught in the window.. it goes back down itself, because the civic is new.. the rubber is rubbing to hard on the window..=)

[Riviera]

cheers gerard

lol the window problem is stupid, window goes up oh wait back down it goes...

if you havnt noticed i was playing round with the missesm window, and
it shift back and forth as if its loose, got her to close the window and
then i shifted it as it was going up, it went back down...



just wondering with the window winding back down... does anyone have it just do it randomly.

in excessive heat making the seals have more friction or when
loud music is playing???
