WWWOOOOOOOHHHHHOOOOOO!!!! No more POS Civic.

It is pretty much official now. My piece of sh it Civic won't be in my life much longer. I have to turn it back to stock in the next week and then they are going to buy it back. My attorney called me yesterday and they made an offer which is fine with me. I am eating it on a lot of stuff but it is all worth it to get rid of this damn car. Even trade to me. So I can't wait until the day I take the car back and hand the keys over, get my check and tell them to kiss my ***.

2cute isn't the first one to complain about their car. so many people are trying to sell or trade them in.

i did most of the mods before I started having problems. I didn't know this car was going to be this bad. Oh by the way I am not the only person complaining go look through the Vehicle Issues/ Problems forum and you will see I am not alone.

2cute, best of luck to you. i guess you deserve a better car than the one your honda dealership gave you. it's a shame they gave you a broken car or should i say a lemon car, causing you to hate the car.

Im not doubting that statement, but its not because of problems with the car. If anything, its because they want something thats faster or better.

Hey, lemons happen with every make and model. Sorry you got one of them. I personally am very happy with my car. The only complaint I've had is a spot weld in my door is starting to rust so I have to take it to Honda to get it fixed. No other problems.

who doesn't like fast cars? i guess the people who bought civic thinking it's a fast car are fools to believe it is. that's what too much movies and tv does. this will boil down to research, finding the right car for each individual. but not defending 2cute, 2cute had more problems than most of us civic owners does. i still feel sh*tty about my rattling rear deck, but i can live with it. the case of 2cute is just a mount load of problems the car got, other than that, i have no idea why 2cute wants to dispose the car. if i were in the same situation as 2cute does, i guess i will also do the same thing.

I personally love my car wouldn't trade it in for nothing. Never had any problems alot of people bought civics thinking they are fast because of the fandf movie. Civics aren't fast but good dependable cars. Sorry you got a lemon though hope you get nice car.

Hey my ride was totally stock and I had about pretty much the same problems as 2cute. But I didn't bother with getting Honda to buy back my lemon. Too much hassle and not worth my time...so I ate the loss and traded it in.

So this means we don't get to hear any more of your complaining? I'm happy that your Civic is gone too.

Ok to break it down for everyone, I had every problem that has been mentioned on this board with my car and then some.
-Alternator seized and was replaced after fighting with Honda for a half an hour
-CV Boot replaced because Honda broke it.
-SRS still has something wrong with it and Hinda refuses to fix it.
-Front knuckle bearing and ball joint replaced
-Speedo is still defective and once again Honda refuses to fix
-Tranny rebuilt needs to be done again
-Brakes gone at 5000 miles had to fight with Honda for 12,500 miles to get them to replace them.
-Stalling problem
-Strut problems before I put springs on
There are more I just can't think right now. I have fought with Honda for over a year now. The probelms with my car did not come from the aftermarket that has already been established. Out of the settlement Honda has to pay off the remaining balance on my loan which is aproximatly $9500 pay me $4700 and pay all of my attorney's fees. Oh I am not selling this car Honda was slapped with a lawsuit and they had no choice unless they wanted to go to trial and I KNOW I would have won there and I think they know it too.
