Civic VP
I had a 2005 Civic VP that I loved. However, I started to notice that when I was braking on a downhill, the car would jerkily downshift. Furthermore, when just driving around our country roads, the car seemed to let the RPMs get pretty high before it shifted up. Also, I noticed that when I was accelerating up a hill, the car kind of got "stuck" in lower gear and the engine was more or less screaming until I tapped the brake, and then it downshifted. Finally, when I was driving a hilly interstate, the transmission seemed to be searching around for the right gear. None of these problems happened when the car was new. They cropped up around 70,000 miles. I put up with it until 80,000 miles, when I finally had a trusted mechanic look at it. He said it sounded like my transmission was slipping. I got rid of the car...I did not want to put a new or rebuilt transmission in an economy car. I was very disappointed in Honda. I bought this car brand new, faithfully serviced it, and this is how it ended.
