I personally owned a SV4 and i enjoyed driving it. Sound insulation was up to my expectation. Had to get rid of it becuase it was dying on me and too ex to retain. I eventually got a FD2. Car has been in and out of the SC since i got the car in Jan 09. I had listed 17 out of 19 porblems faced on 1 occassion. Gave them 1 week to fix and when I went to collect the car, it became worse. Eventually had more problems and had no choice but to send to SC again.

Below is a list of some of the issues I have been facing

1. rear board vibrating
2. bubble on sticker on driver door
3. squeaky steering rack
4. font fenders and bumpers not aligned
5. unusual vibrations in cabin
6. faulty exhaust spring
7. absorbers not fixed properly
8. loose connector


Hondas quality over the years have indeed deteriorated when it should have improved. They boast they have improved in this and that areas but to me, its just pure BS!!!. Call HM, and they say phone system down. Ask for e-mail, say no more because of spam mails. If I want to complaint, best to go to their office in Jaya 1 to do it. I'm like WTF??? In my opinion, the people running the show these days are not committed to their work and takes things too lightly unless a really attractive incentive awaits for them at the end of the line.

Anyway, we have been have been buying Honda cars ever since from civics to accords to crvs to legends and you will see the tremendous drop in quality over the years. No doubt engine is good and meets my expectations, the overall sucks big time.

My 2 cents worth of comments I have for Honda. Next car is definitely going to be a conti car. Good luck to those who plan to get themselves a Honda or a Toyota.

If you are having the earlier gen city, i think not so much issue. The new ones i heard have a lot of issues. I think its Honds's strategy to improve the engine and forget about the rest.
