Incidentally, I base all my purchases on 'Which' as it is the only source of impartial consumer advice and they are never wrong. Their Civic test was based on 410 owners filling in questionairs, so if you can dismiss that sort of data against your 'intuition' then good luck. When you visit this website on a regular basis, it only confirms the common faults found, such as fuel system faults, steering and suspension. Trade in within a year is painful, but a lesser pain than keeping the Civic. I honestly wish you well with yours.

Well 410 is a tiny percentage of owners so that cant exactly be a proven test. More people were surveyed just on this forum than what which reports so that tells you something.
Plus you will find alot of people on forums reporting problems as that is a place people go for help. Youll find just as many problems on Mercesdes,audi, bmw etc etc forums as on here.
