Computer controlling the engine went bad and had to be reset.
CV axles had to be replaced.
Brake pads, rotors, shoes, etc. all had to be replaced. Brake had to be bled.
The car's handling is wonderful. It's agile and sporty.
There is a lot of shift-shock between gears on the automatic transmission. The transmission occassionally will rev itself (my foot is steadily the same pressure on the pedal) unexplainably to redline and back.
The gas pedal is kind of hard to push down. You really have to put some pressure on it to get nice acceleration.
Acceleration is sluggish at higher speeds, but is very snappy off the line.
I love the interior, and there are so many modifications out there for this Civic.
I would have expected this car to never need repairs. No oil changes, etc. Should have bought a horse. Just give it shots and oats and it runs. no oil changes or timing belts. I'm going Amish!
