This is why I never buy the first year of a redesigned model; always go for the last year or two when the issues have been worked out. You'll notice the 2001 Civic and 2006 Civic were each on that list--and each was the first year of a major redesign. My last three cars have all been the last year of their respective models and I've had no problems with any of them, including an 05 Civic.
