8gen Civic

I drove new 8gen Civic EX recently. I generally liked it. But there was couple of things I also didn't like. Those thing were reason enough to prevent me from buying one. Have anyone else drove it? Share what You didn't like about it. Because I want to compare it to my feelings and see if i'm not alone on this. Thanks dudes.

That's great that you got both. That way you can compare better. But give more details, comon man.

although I havent driven a 8thgen, I do have some non-driving complaints. The trunk opening is smaller, the hand brake looks like a toy, and the dash wastes too much space, which is the opposite style of traditional Civics (meaning small car, good space)

I've driven both the ex coupe and the si. Honestly, I like them both better than my 7th gen. The only thing I didn't like was the rattle from the back caused by the stereo. I loved everything else.

Exactly my thoughts. And the dash looks totally ugly and misshaped too.
