I have a purple 1999 Honda Civic Hatchback with less than 40,00 miles on it. The paint is blistering and peeling in several places. It started next to the windows shortly after I bought the car and has continued to blister and flake in other places as well. Some of the "chips" are 2-3" in size and there are new blisters appearing constantly. I don't know if Honda simply screwed up with this particular model/color or if they have a reputation for lousy paint jobs. It really pisses me off because the condition of the paint will have a negative effect if I try to sell or trade the car. I have also had problems with the check engine light coming on for no apparent reason and had to have the map sensor replaced once already. Needless to say none of these problems were covered under the miniscule warranty provided by Honda. What a rip off.
