Everything the protocol found, including what we decided not to repair. Each finding says what it is and what we did about it — nothing here is hidden behind “sold as seen”.

|---|---|---|
| MODERATE | Clear coat peeling on roof panel | Disclosed, not repaired |
| MINOR | Rear struts at 50% life | Quoted |
| MODERATE | Air conditioning compressor replaced by us | Repaired with warranty |
| MINOR | Driver door lock actuator lazy in heat | Left as is |
Model watch list
What this generation is known for.
Every model has faults that show up again and again in the workshop and in the manufacturer’s own bulletins. These are the ones documented for this exact year, engine and transmission — listed whether or not this particular car shows them.
- Clear-coat peeling and paint cracking on hood and fender leading edges — Honda TSB SVC 14-034
- Interior door panels, steering-wheel trim and console fabric fading
- HandsFreeLink Bluetooth malfunctions — Honda TSB A-13-071
- Thermostat jiggle valve sticking open, setting code P0128 — Honda TSB A-13-044
Notes on the data
- Engine output, transmission and fuel economy are from Honda’s own specification release and the EPA record for the 6-speed manual Si.
- 0–60 mph is Car and Driver’s instrumented test of the Si sedan with the same 2.4 L engine and six-speed manual.
- Honda publishes separate dimensions and weights for the Si coupe and Si sedan, and the two differ; rather than quote the wrong column, those fields are left empty.
- Honda does not rate the Civic for towing and publishes no payload figure.
