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.

Actually - I have a difference in panel gaps as do many civics that I have seen, a friend of mine sent hers back twice due to noticable differences that were obvious with the naked eye.
So now we have drawn that fault to the forum members everyone can rush outside and check theirs
Oh and Brods put a sock in it we all know that your car is perfect so it is obvious that not ALL civics are the same
