Why do you constantly have to keep reminding everyone that your car is perfect althoug how you have escaped a paint chip is beyond me if it is used on a daily basis, they must have really broke the mould when they made your car!! would it have got on your nerves if I started every post with;

"I had my car for almost two years, the last one was a replacement both civics spent all their time at the dealers having the same faults fixed over and over again"

Yes it would have got on your nerves as it would have been a pointless comment to make over and over again and would have irritated all those that haven't had many or any issues, just as I am sure your constant reminder irritates those with problems.
I don't think it's fair to think you can spread out every problem you encountered with you car in detail, and on the other hand get upset when other people mention their civic is just fine when their opinion is asked, as in this thread.
I know that some of us maybe say it it bit more often than others, but I also think that it is completely legitimate to say once in while that the civic is a good car. 'Cause it is!
Yes, even I can give you a list with al the "bugs" I found in my civic, but still I think it's a good car.
We all know the suffering you went through TC, and despite all that, I do believe you liked the car, and hated to see it go. And in this perspective Brod's remarks might hurt even more, but still...
People who want to buy a civic and take a peek at this forum for extra info, might get the impressions that civics are crap, and they are not. Obviously you use a forum more in case of a problem, but let's just give some counterweigt from time to time.
