    Tyre problem well documented with the CL9 euro lux.

    Easily solved with skinnier tyres, or tyres with bigger diameter. The problem is with the tyre contact patch. It's wider than it is longer. Hence it follows the road.

    Seems civic has some problems....
    I brought a new Corolla at the start of last year over a civic, I thought the civic was a bucket in comparison.

    but I would think that just because it's made in Thailand doesn't mean that the build quality suffers as a result. unless that's just me being too optimistic.
    check it out for those who are worried

    if there are problems with the car take it back thats what a warranty is for. if your not happy then dont leave until you have an aswer that you want reputation is important so theaten to take them to current affair or something. lol just a suggestion.

    quality is still the same thailand exports some hondas back to japan too so they have to be good

    if it wasnt coming out of Thailand we all would be paying $5k to $10k more, Australia had a free trade agreement with Thailand, so they can get their quality cars to us cheaper, the first batch of the new models always have problems, thats why its prudent to wait till a year or so later before buying the new generation vehicle.

    mate the free trade agreement nonsense which honda australia keeps banging on about only benefits themselves, not the buyer. They dont pass on much (if any) saving to the buyers. lancer, mazda3 and corolla are all imported from japan yet are priced lower than the civic.

    you can intrepret the FTA which ever way you like, however it is still more sensible to not buy the first batch of a new generation vehicle, as it will always have issues (in I.T they call it Bugs), when a new software is released.

    Never denied that I somewhat agree.... even if things get "fixed" via recalls etc.

    But free trade agreement or not, if honda were going to market a Japanese built civic here in Australia they would not throw another $5-10k as you say. There is just no way it would happen given pricing of its competitors. This is why I find it very hard to envision the EUDM hatch civic ever making it to these shores (other than the CTR of course) when they have mentioned it would be in the vacinity of $35k for a hatch in a smiliar spec as our current SPORT.
