Rumbling plastic noise coming from the rear mirror.
Shock absorbers give a knocking sound, but my mechanic couldn't find any fault in the shocks.
Wheel arches too small for 16 inches tyres. You will need low profile ones to overcome that problem.
Considering the displacement and the cost, DOHC VTEC is a brilliant way to go fast.
A tiny Civic is more spacious than a Skyline GTR!
Fuel saving at low rev.
However, auto transmission and VTEC is a bad combo.
Loose plastic sounds and a "weak" chassis is a common problem in Civic hatchback. My previous Civic had the same noise.
16inches are not standard wheels, Honda Si and SiRs came with 14inch wheels. If this car was bought in Australia it certainly was not sold by Honda Australia as only the Si model was sold here.
There is no need to go larger than 15" with this car.
