Civinfo - View Single Post - 1.8 EX 6 months in

I'm not sure if others agree with me but I think the EX model (and civic generally) has many faults. My observations are:

The ride is awful especially cornering at any kind of speed
The dash rattles in many places
The HID lights are rubbish
The hands free/voice activation is a joke even after mods
Soundproofing is really poor
Auto wipers take ages to come on
Cruise control is not smooth especially when it backs off
Ipod connection is a rip off
Computer overstates speed & MPG
Suspension is noisy
Stereo poor

It feels like they had to compromise the quality to keep the cost down.

I certainly will not buy another Honda and will be getting rid of it within 6 months.
