General Comments

I was disappointed with my first Honda Civic, although it feels more solid and better built than French cars, some examples seem to have many rattles, clunks, trim that doesn't fit exactly and they are not 100% mechanically relaible either. The engine note is not exactly encouraging you to push it either. Several examples I've driven sound like wooden blocks being shaken in a plastic container although semi- quietly in the background, but noticeable.
However it is large for its class and the power continues to increase significantly as the revs rise above 4000rpm. The downside is that below 3000rpm it feels average and not at all sporty.
