I got 99 problems but a Civic aint one. I just had to say it.
haha, nice! can I use that as a quote for my sig?
As for al the dash problems ppl keep having, I just slap the dash whereever it rattles a few times, and it goes away after a few slaps. I'm more concerned about the passenger side power window motor in my sedan.

I'm sure I'm not the only person with the problem, but the window doesnt seem to have enough juice to get the window up. If I have the car on, the window will come up faster compared to having the car off..... but it's still slower than all the other windows in the car.

oh and i forgot, there is a whining noise coming from the engine bay that is rpm dependant.............i swear if i had to spend more than 5mins without the stereo i think i would loose it and push the car off a cliff
the dealer is gonna have a HUGE list of items when i bring my car in for its first oil change.......and to think ive only driven 1k kms on the week old car.....

For me, I don't have the noisy clutch, although where the clutch starts to engage it's set at the old lady softness level by design.
The A/C is actaully pissing me off because when I run it, I feel a rattle, and I know that ain't good at all. Like, at idle, i feel kind of a rhythmic bump from the bay, even though the belts and such are in good shape. anyone else have that problem?
I DO have the seat wobbling on me. Anyone know how to fix it?

Try doing something nice for a total stranger, then look back at your car. Notice that the good feeling you get from helping lasts all day, but you constantly have to put stuff on your car to feel better.

That's alot of crap to go wrong... I personally am looking into getting an older civic. I trust those more than my own 7thgen Then as soon as my g/f's lease is up we're going for a Volvo for her (assuming Ford doesn't screw with them that much). We both (my g/f and I) have had to many problems with our 7th gens to get anouther.
