"Small but perfectly formed"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing, had it serviced after 6000 miles and she's run fine since.

Wipers are not great for heavy rain though, had to pull over several times.

The boot is ALL plastic with no carpet so things slide all over the place and it's very easy to scratch

There is no back shelf (ie. for speakers) and you can't install one easily.

Back brakes screeching, mechanic told me it was because of dirt and could be blown out by pressurised air.

Electric windows are noisy and shudder going up when they are wet (seals are too tight, which I suppose is good).

General comments?

This car is a rocket for a 1.5, and runs 0-60 in 9.3 which is unbelievable for an engine that size.

Great fun to drive and will leave most cars in its class for dead although don't try racing the Civic SiR version at the traffic lights or you'll burn out your engine.

Quite economical, but then again mine is 8 years old so I didn't expect anything spectacular.

No back shelf, that's not right mate!! They all have one.

No they don't, mine is a 92 import and it does not have a back shelf either. I put a blanket on the plastic boot lid to keep the noise down and to stop things sliding all over the place.
