Panel gaps on door bumpers etc for 1. Honda have fantastic panel gap control - remound for it in the industry. A reliable crash test on any Honda - run your fingers along the gap between wing and bonnet one hand each side at the same time - if you can feel a difference left to right or a chaneg in the width of the gap then good chance it's had a shunt and been fixed in a body shop. A Ford Exec is know to have quoted when the 2001 Civic was launched - how the hell do they do that. We have had some issues here with door alignment but if you had come from another high volume car where the control is not so good then you might not have queried it as you've seen it before but having read it here then you will pop down to the dealer and ask him to sort it out which he will (probably) do. My uncle did the same with his blue oval and was told that's how they come - can't get it any better. I'm not saying that you are not entitled to have it fixed or that it's not wrong but in other circumstances you may not have noticed or done anything about it.
