2000 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"Reliable and dull"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noise from front suspension.
Noise from rear suspension.
Paint chips easily.
Two loud dashboard rattles.
General comments?
Reliable, but disappointed with build quality in terms of rattles and suspension noises.
The front seats are poorly padded and become very uncomfortable after an hour or so of driving.
The steering is numb, the handling is competent. Generally, the car is competent but boring like most Japanese cars.
I wish that I could get a new Peugeot instead, but they don't sell them in the USA anymore.
