Drive-by-wire maybe new to Honda, but it's an already established technology
with
other manufactors. And, Honda is the best at improving on old ideas.
Hyundai/Kia
might be good a copying it, but improving on it, takes some real talent.

My guess is, if there's any defects in the 2006 Civic, it'd probably be
isolated to the
interior ammenities.
