The auto unlock on the passenger's side door went, but was replaced under warranty right away by the dealership. This was apparently a common defect for this year and nothing has happened since!
I'm thrilled with my Civic! I had an older Civic before purchasing this one and this has exceeded my expectations. Sure, it could go a bit faster or have a bit more guts in some situations, but for everyday use it is perfect. I found the automatic to have a lot less power, but the standard I got solved that problem. I live in BC, so hills and mountains are everywhere!! My Civic climbs them easily, I'm thrilled!
The seats are comfortable and the coupe even has a decent amount of room in the back seats (not for anyone over 6' mind you). Honda takes great care of their customers and I'm very happy overall.
I consider a car's being able to ride hills and mountains as reasonable expectations and not exceeding expectations. You did buy a brand new car after all!
I totally agree with Honda service, they do take good care of customers, show they want our business. I had my Civic for few months now, stick, although it came with winter tires, I right away bought 17 inch rims and put some sporty rubber on it. The car handles really well, for a base model Civic, wow.
I find the car slightly noisy in general, but that's the rubber noise from the type of tire I have. Really great on gas, and yes I do live in BC as well, tons of mountains and hills, no hard times at all.
