I bought my 2004 Civic LX 2 door, thinking that I would not have the problems of a used car I was certainly wrong. The first problem was that I never received a copy of or signed the pre delivery inspection check list. I had my car up to the dealership at just over 3,000 miles for its first alignment. Then, I had problems with the car not starting. Sometimes it would start and sometimes it wouldn't. it didn't depend on the temperature outside or the amount of gas in the car. Sometimes when it would start, it would crank out as if I was letting out the clutch too fast. But on many attempts to restart the vehicle it would crank, but would never turn over or fire. Had the car up to the dealership once again for the starting problem, but they said since there weren't any error codes, there was nothing that they could do the car seemed fine. My latest problem; at just over 9,000 miles, I just had my front left wheel bearing replaced.! once again my alignment was done. Everything has been covered under warranty. But what is going to go wrong next"?" I certainly wouldn't recommend a Honda to anyone I know.
