I was also becoming worried in exactly the manner described in the top post.

If these niggles are all with the early models and the newer ones seem to be OK then that is to be expected I suppose.

As an example, I currently have a Lexus IS200 and the logical next step would have been the Lexus IS250. However the Lexus forum is littered with new model problems, and that is from Lexus. The main problems seem to be rattles from all manner of places, plus a rearview mirror that vibrates so much that you cannot see what is behind you (I had that on the courtesy car). A few owners getting locked out because of keyless system problems, etc.

I am hoping that Honda are now fitting the modified fuel filler at the factory and not using up what is in the 'parts bin' before fitting them as standard.

The main reason for me coming to a Civic was that I need to maintain a similar or slightly smaller footprint than the IS due to garage space. Also now become used to Japanese reliability so it seemed a logical move.
