Looking at this website, kind of backs me up.
It won't go down like a lead balloon - its 100% correct.

My two previous Hondas were both USA built - and were very well made. The courtesy car Jazzs I have had have all been pretty good. The Civic is under-developed and thrown together using some poor quality parts and materials with no evidence of a decent inspection/quality control system, and indeed now a good deal of evidence on this site that there is no such system .... all backed up by a customer services dept who couldn't care less.
