You need a fabric that doesn't look black/grey/black after you get out and the pile is in various directions.

Not a huge problem I know but I'm in the James May school of tidyness with the air vents all lined up

The suede edges to the Type S seats end up striped / patterned / untidy (delete as appropriate)

Well done Honda..but you could have done so much more

I agree, i think the 5dr grill is definitely growing on me. Don't think it would suit certain colours though

Its a malignant pus-filled hideous hairy cancerous wart of a growth!

What's Russell Brand got to do with it?

Rob25 · 20th November 2008, 16:03

Personally i hate the grill, if it ain't broke why try fixing it honda!!!!

Wheelchair · 20th November 2008, 16:06

Exactly. It seems to be a change purely for changes sake. It just looks much worse.

NH Dan · 20th November 2008, 17:37

As stated before, the grill revision is something to do with better airflow and venting, most have assumed to do with the new auto box, which would make sense. So no, not purely for changes sake.

Wheelchair · 20th November 2008, 17:39

So why do the manual Civic's have to put up with it?

TBH, BMW sorted it easily, from that massive bit of ducting at the front, run a tube up and to the auto box, TBH I think the other gear box (semi auto) could have done with it as I have heard stories of overheating, however the manual civics could stay with having a nice grill. Does anyone think there will be many altered back to the old style? Will perspex ones on ebay become more valuable as people put right Honda's mistake?

I bet the old grills will become quite valuable!

I disagree - I think it looks like a grill with holes to let air in.

If anything, it makes the car look more conventional, or less scary to certain buyers.

I don't want it looking conventional, I want it looking different from everything else, thats why I bought it. But we are all welcome to our own opinions.

Wheelchair · 20th November 2008, 18:33

But it looks so crude compared to the old grill.

A & M Wolff · 20th November 2008, 20:54

new front grill... yuk.. makes me wanna puke..
maybe it´ll grow on me..NAAAH

rear bumper lower section.. hmm..

what went wrong there..

knightrider · 20th November 2008, 21:05

What a shame, i'm on my 2nd of the current model and-having lved them both-fully expected to be purchasing another in the new year.

I am in favour of the revised specs and colours, and the promise of an improved drive (am i reading to much into Pottsy's comments) but not keen on the grills, revised aprons (especially at the rear of the 5 door) or (controversially?) the TypeR style dash.

Alas, unless I get a deal I can't refuse, it is unlikely i'll purchase another.

Munro · 20th November 2008, 21:12

I wonder if Honda have improved / re rated the shock absorbers and springs for UK roads ? It would cost hardly anything and help address the main weakness of the present car.
