1.\ Fuel gauge is off by a quarter tank. So even if you fill-up your tank,
gauge shows 75% full. Of course you won't be able to figure out how much
more is in your tank when it points to E.
2.\ Front door armrest squeaks
3.\ Ventilation levers too tight, as if they will break if you slide them
4.\ My rear suspension thumps and squeaks and nobody could diagnose it
right. I finally decided to do it myself by replacing the rear lower arm
with a used one from a wrecker. Honda doesn't sell bushings, only the whole
lower arm assembly.
5.\ My driver side ball joint snapped possibly due to metal fatigue.
Luckily, I was doing only 20 KPH in Vancouver when it snapped. Had it
snapped when I was traversing the winding British Columbia roads at 120 KPH,
you won't be able to read this post at all.
6.\ Low-end torque is pathetic. Do not try to pass a 53 footer on a single
lane road if you are not confident of what you are doing. Well you could
possibly do it at around 6000RPM on the second gear. Passing while doing 90
KPH upwards is a breeze though.
7.\ Fuel consumption with airconditioning on while on city streets is worse
than a 6 banger.
