Can't avoid this especially when pricing point is within the reach of mass consumer. If want to feel special, must make it stand out by modifying it - add spoilers, wrap, carrying special plate number, etc

Lol
My black beauty still turns heads everywhere I go. 

Thanks for the link! Last I had was a Thailand owner replacing the whole CVT (updated design) to fix this issue. But at least now we know what exactly was the problem, and know that it has no impact on reliability. will use this info to update the first page.

it's hard to stand out nowadays unless you buy a less well known brand. Even BMW is a common car nowadays!!!

I got that pdf file from http://www.civicx.com/threads/strange-soun...-74#post-167393
I think you are familiar with that forum.

At my recent service, I purposely arrived at the SC 45 minutes earlier, just so I can replicate that warm-start grinding sound. 
From the way the service advisor talked, I know that they are aware of this issue. He even mentioned "after 45 minutes". lol

hi,
check any 1.8s owner upgrade their fabric seats to leather?
can get honda do that or have to it elsewhere?
will the side airbag affected?
thanks

Many companies, including Honda (M), pushing sales and compromised quality. Just want to assemble as many as possible. They know the existing issues/defects but yet let it "handover" to car owners. If car owner found the defects.. then it's the trouble of the car owner to deal with SC. They care less about the car owner's time spent @SC, headache, money, etc.

I used to drive VW Polo. DSG gear problem. VW don't care. I have to deal with SC for many occurrences. VW's SC is so difficult to deal with. Any spare parts need to wait at least 2 weeks. Need whole day for a simple engine oil change... send in 9a.. get car back 5p. What the hack! Sell the car. Then buy Civic 1.5T... damn. Got defects too. Ok, managed to get them fixed after 2-3 rounds to SC. Then engine oil leaks after send for interval service . Lousy Honda's SC.

Next car... Toyota

My Civic got the grinding sound too. I want to get it fix.

They managed to solve the grinding issue? Can you share which SC you sent to? Thanks

I got 5k discount for 1.8s 2017 civic, the SA recommend me 3M tint, she say can give discount, before discount is 3k+ o.O

I asked about the ecotint, she say got but recommend 3M wo, maybe she can earn more from there.

The ecotint call splendour something don't know what's the spec.

Wanna place booking this week. 5k good deal?

Very true. Lets say 5% out of 10,000 civic owners got complain.. 500 ppl posting here vs

Jetta owners 30% out of 500 got problem = 150 ppl posting in VW forum..

which will make u feel that civic got more problems than jetta bcos 500 vs 150.

Got my 1.8 changed to fully leathered. SA sent to do it for me before I collect the car. but it's not done in house, it's somewhere else. Should be no problem with airbags.

Make sure you get those with no holes on it, else lots of dust. Also, less design on the stitching​/finishing means easier to wipe too.
