ak can only hope to improve
There is a Vehicles issues/problems forum.

The major problem in ALL civics ALL models: RATTLES from the rear deck, door panels, and trunk.

Followed by: Weak engine...

That's about it, the civic is pretty reliable imo.

-rattly door panels; thankfully minimal rear deck rattle (I must be the only one)
-limiter kicked in at a relatively low RPM (less than 7000) once, when I had the dealer check it out they could not find the problem. Hasn't happened since. I guess the hamster had a cold that day.

I had a problem of a rattle that sounded like it was in the dash but took it to the dealer and they had the car for a month trying to find it. They finally found it in the driver side door panel and got it fixed. Now the dash rattles. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] Not too bad though, only when it's really cold out. like 20 or below. Other than that, the only problems I've had, oh wait, paint chip, other than those, the only problem I've had with my civic is the dealership being a bunch of butts.

I know me and alot of other people have problems with the front drivers seat rocking. This seems to be a common problem with the EX's. Anyone out there with a rocking seat thats not an EX?

Those who say they don't hear rattles aren't listening for them. I used to say the same thing and drove one day without a radio and heard every single one. They're not bad enought to hear with the radio on like my old Accord or my old Celica, but they're still there.

So are you saying that you would NEVER buy the first model of a new Gen.? So if you needed to buy a car within a couple months, and a nice car just comes out in a new Gen. (i.e. the new accord) you would wait a year without a car just to get the 2nd model so all the bugs can be fixed?

And why is the 2000 si so Perfect? It's only the second model of the Si. After just one year, all the imperfections with the 99 si were worked out and nothing ever goes wrong with it now??
