Am I the only one?

The only problem I have had is with my driver-side front window going up slow, but that is only when it is wet. I think the window is off track or something and the motor has a hard time pushing it into place when it is wet. Other than that, my car is working fine. 7,500 miles.

I think a lot of the people are complaining about problems that are just going to exist with a car for under $20,000. Your gonna have some rattles, you may have a squeak here and there, its not going to shift like a porsche. The only major problem ive had with my car was i had a faulty torque converter right from the dealer and i had it replaced no questions asked. People just need to stop whining about the smallest things. Remember its a civic not a mercedes.

I've had just about every problem mentioned to date with my 2001 (14,000 km), but just want to add to the power windows issue - my "power" window close VERY VERY VERY slowly when the window is wet, but when it's colder than -10 C, they won't even go up - I have to pull the window up by hand myself while engaging the "power" window. What kind of "power" is that, Mr. Honda?

That's not saying very much!

Mine has 1,040 miles and running strong! Remember that the people who have problems search out places to voice their sorrow.
