Didi actually take a test drive in the civic or even bothered to look at it before you bought it? At least 50% of your remarks would have shown by then and you surely wouldnt have bought it.
but hope you enjoy the mazda more

I have traded the Civic for a Mazda 6.
In theese months my Honda experience is awful, the good looks really don't help when the car is so bad built.
1. i-shift is a joke and a safety-issue, you can be still-standing for a couple of seconds when you decide that you want to pass a road.
2. The paint is a joke, my red car looks like **** on the bonnet. When I touched the door edge with my trousers 2cm of paint chipped off leaving a fine white mark.
3. Clonking and noise from the gear box makes the people around you think that your ride is a very old bad car.
4. Various random clonking and noise from suspension both front and rear.
5. Fuel consumption 10-15% wrong on computer.
6. Warns for low fuel when there is only 1-2litres left (lasts around 10miles).
7. Really bad materiel used for dash.
8. Build quality all around, doors don't match in height and gaps are everything from 0 to 10mm.
9. Rediciosly flimsy plastics under doors and around wheels.
10. Door handles makes my hands go bloody and the feeling is #¤#¤
11. The sound when closing doors isn't premium.
12. I can't believe how thin the steel is on roof and other parts.
13. Back of the car looks dented as the plastic door is of inferior quality.
14. Fog in rear lights-ramp.
15. Bluetooth system is unusable, bad sound quality.
16. Very hard rough ride over bumps, you really think that the car is going to break down, we have a lot of speed bumps where I live and it's a pain every single time I have to pass one of them.
17. The remote key isn't working every time.
18. Fuel consumption is 20% over rating, every other car (+10) I've had has been spot on.
I'm very sad because the looks is great and a very practical little car with huge cabin.
Very expensive experience and I won't ever buy a Honda again.
I'm looking forward however to take delivery of a brand new Mazda6 Lilac silver with a real automatic gearbox in two weeks (I hope the Civic will last so long)!
