After a long waiting time in July 06 I got my 1.8 EXEC. with I-Shift. (today 13,000 km and top 222km/h managed) It’s a nice wackling and for many people also an eye-catcher. Unfortunately I am absolutely not satisfied with the transmission. The car switches when it wants to. Sometimes it seems to me like on a Gaul, who does with me what he wants. In slow curves he wakes up until he switches at any time, before crossings he switches jerkily over several gears to the bottom. In the process, he cracks and “nieces” funny. Recently, he whistles like a vacuum cleaner. etc. ……… If someone drives with a normal switch like this, he picks head shakes. My son would get one behind the ears with this switching mode. Let’s see how long the clutch lasts this. For years, I drive with my butt and switch with my belly, certainly not always reasonable – but the switching software of this HONDA resists everything that I have done over 40 years. I only hope that the people of HONDA will also look in here. A QM questionnaire in the first week is not very useful. Today I asked, I would have put some crosses in another place. The A-gear has succeeded better with the new JAZZ. That makes switching really fun (7-speed automatic). So I had imagined this for the CIVIC. Make a test drive, it is worth it. ********************************************* CIVIC – 1.8 EXECUTIVE – I-SHIFT- 13 .000 km *********************************
