to start with honda civics are a pieces of **** on a stick. too much people hav them and they break down pretty fast . for eample my aunt bought one which was a 2003 as well as my uncle who bought the 2005 one and they both hav **** interior because the fabric is peeling off the door panels, same with the transaxle u can feel it shift after driving it for 2 to 3 years.
