I fixed all my rattling panels, my squeeky clutch was my master cylinder, replaced at 80,000 miles, no prob at all before that completely quiet untill about 70,000. I have about 2,000 miles since it was replaced, and no prob at all. The wind noise is bad on freeways, but my stereo overpowers it.

I like my Civic except the traditional Honda quality just isnt their for the 7th geners. I've read and heard about many complaints with the quality of these vics and these are the top 5.
Squeaky clutch pedal
Rocking driver/passenger seat
rattles in interior panels
excessive wind and road noise
sunroof panel warpage (in EX models)
I have unfortunately expericed all of these. 3 of these were fixed temporarily but they started up again. With the squeaky clutch, they even went as far to replace the master cylider, but it started 3 days later again. Whats the matter Honda?
i have the rocking driver seat and there's also a massive vibration inside my front dash.. that one is pissing me off and i'm about to rip apart my dash and make sure nothing can freakin vibrate under the dash... anyone know how to fix that..?
My struts make terrible noises, they click really loud, the CV boots are fine, I am waiting to lower my car, untill I fix that
What year is your car? They had a kind of like what you might call a quite recall on the 01 and early '02 struts. But I know a few people with those models years have had their strtus replaced for free by Honda.

omg there is a recall on that thing? i got an early 02. and my one side of my rear suspension makes clicking sound when i turn hard around corner and when i look under the car, nothing seems wrong. so that's the strut problem? and how do i check if i got a bad strut?

best bet is to take it to a shop to have them check it if you dont know cars very well. Also you can check to if there is oil leaking from the shock. But do you have your stock suspension or lowering springs or what? Cause alot of the times those contribute to the noise.

my suspension setup is all stock. and it just makes clicking sound on the rear right side under hard turning or prolong freeway driving. other than leaks how else can i check for bad strut without take it out?
and how exactly does bad strut cause "clicking" noise? 'cause i thought bad strut just make the car bouncy.
thanks
