All new models regardless of manufacturer may run into design problems when
first released.
This is true for Honda as well (although I'm sure the powertrain will be as
reliable as always)

If the new Civic appeals to you more than the old, wait for the new and take
your chances that there may be some problems - (the latest version of the
trusty CRV had such problems when released)
