Any rattles in your 8th gen civic?

Hi all new to this forum.

I'm thinking of getting a brand new Civic. Havn't driven one yet, just wondering how rattle free the interiors are on these cars, because i'm really fussy about rattles hahah.. and i know they are made in thailand now, not japan any more.
It is the 4 door sedan Vti-l i am looking at.
Thanks

All car's rattle, but you might check for where the sound is coming from, in my 08 I founded that things in my glove box where rattling I fixed that by laying a towel down.

Also check the trunk, side pockets and if all else fails ...take it to your dealer

I have a rattle in my rear deck that I have not yet diagnosed. Also, an intermittent one in the driver's side B pillar.

I agree with those before me... All cars rattle. If you find one that doesn't rattle, it's only because it's not moving. Drive one to find out how much you'll be annoyed. On a cold day is a good suggestion.

then just fill in the boxes about your car...it'll have a field called "Origin" that should fill itself, which will tell you where your car was made
