2006 Honda Civic EX review from UK and Ireland
"Far short of Honda's reputation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intermittent cutting out.
Rear suspension knock.
Petrol filler cap failed to open.
Central locking failed.
Power steering failed.
Colour came off of gear change knob.
Engine to body earth point failed.
General comments?
Honda really failed on this one, although it has been very reliable since an independent motor engineer fixed the faults. For which repeated negotiations with Honda customer services failed to do. And the dealer as much use as a chocolate teapot. Probably why they went bust.
I would say the car drives well, comfortable, and running costs are good.
The bad Honda customer service detracts from how good this car could be.
