Just got back from the dealership and sat in a new Civic EX-L. Great leather in my opinion, but I've never owned a leather lined car before. Felt very soft & buttery and quite comfortable to say the least. They added all that dealer add on junk so the price on the window was over $22k...crazy money for a Civic. They did replace my battery, as they said it was low charging or something like that. Have just had the car for 23 months and thought the battery would've lasted a bit lomger. What does "low charging" really mean? Did get to sit in my dream car...a Acura TSX...very cool car. Even with almost 78k on the clock, the leather was cleanish and the interior appointments were top notch for an '04 model. They also had a nice '06 RSX in the Galaxy Gray color with excellent seats...my spine didn't hurt a bit. Very clean for an '06 model. The Sandman

Replying to: sandman46 (May 07, 2008 9:35 am) I took it in to the dealer, and they first re-attached it (I guess the thing is really only anchored in the middle, with some sort of tabs at either end), it was still loose - I pointed it out to the service manager, and then we walked over to another new civic, same model, sitting on the lot, and it was also loose. So, he ordered a new spoiler. Same problem - I haven't gone back yet, but before I left the lot on that occasion, I went over about 6 civic EX's on the lot, and the spoiler ranged from completely firm, tight, to significantly looser than mine. I'm not too concerned with the thing falling off, but I do worry that the problem will get worse with age, and with the closing of my trunk it rattles a bit. Mainly I am a bit frustrated that this is a new car, and it's a Honda, and I shouldn't have this. We're talking about an easy 3/16" inch of play on either end of the spoiler, I can easily push it. Should I live with it, or keep taking it back until they get it right? I don't think this is a flaw in the manufacture of my particular car - I think it's more of a design flaw. I'm not sure how much effort they'll put into this without some direction from the manufacturer. We have a 'lemon law' in ohio - would this apply in any way? just fyi, best mileage on a tank so far is 35 mpg with about 80% highway, has about 2500 miles on it, manual shift.

Does anyone know if an air deflector is available in the marketplace for a 2008 Civic LX Sedan? Honda does not offer them. I have been able to locate a deflector for a 2008 Civic Si but not the 2008 LX Sedan. Thanks, Marco

Replying to: 4677hola (Jul 30, 2008 6:33 pm) Thanks! (I'll try to review previous posts to see if this has been covered) I'm seriously considering purchasing an '08 this weekend, so if there are any other anticipated problems I might want to know about please advise and enlighten me! Thanks for any support you all can offer... |

Got a new 08 sedan automatic in June. I have an issue with my transmission when shifting gears while on parking mode. When I put it on reverse, back-up out of my driveway and put it on drive to get going forward, I hear a loud clunk noise that don't sound right. Once I get going, the shifting is nice and smooth.  Another thing is my horn. I am embarassed to honk cause it sounds like a sheep getting it on with a donkey. Anyone else experience these probems?

NO they have not always had wimpy horns. This is my civic number 11 and this is the first one that the horn sounds like it has a cold.
