2005 Honda Civic VP review from North America
"This Civic is good looking, yet fragile at drivetrain, econo' car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2005 Honda Civic VP Coupe a/t. H&R 1.25" drop springs installed since new (voided the warranty)
Passenger side front strut blew out @ 17800 miles. Inner CV boot in front passenger side tore @ 27000 miles. Both front strut bearings are popping when I turn (presently). New bearings are on order. Overall, the car looks, smells, and handles great, but it lacks HP and has chinsey suspension. I will go back to Nissan cars when I replace this Honda.
