Yeah, it had two recalls for minor adjustments that I was unaware of.

Which would you go for if you had the choice? The Focus above or the civics below ? Hmmmm It will be a tough choice

Replacement shock absorbers (on both civics) replacement gearbox, replacement clutch, replacement windscreen rubber seal, replacement climate control parts, replacement steering column, replacement boot struts, replacement window seal, replacement bumpers due to light fittings rubbing off the paintwork, replacement fuel filler cap (twice), replacement linkage parts on windscreen wipers (twice) oh an not forgetting two radios with extremely poor reception, the knocking noise each morning, a noise like an old creaking boat when steering, the fear of the car rolling away due to the defective handbrake, the need for a re-spray due to the extremely poor quality paintwork ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I could go on but im boring myself

Yes the Civic is a cracking car !!!!!!!!!
