hey guys new TW LX Sedan owner here! have u guys notice that the sound system in the sedans are kinda weak. i can hear rattling from the door handles when i turn up the bass to 5. anyone have this issue? its just kinda annoying and surprising that my 06 LX civic sedan had a better stock sound system.

I was informed about some paint chipping under the rear tail lights on the coupes. Its actually not visible until you move the bumper. I would recommend slightly pushing the bumper down towards the floor and checking to see if you have this problem, so you can get it fixed.

This likely isn't a problem with the paint, but rather a problem with how the lot porters and/or mechanics remove the protective film from the car during the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). In fact, my rear bumper cover was painted a week after I had it due to this very issue. The paint was obviously and very badly "zippered" right where the taillight meets the bumper.

Now, I realize that paint chipping underneath isn't EXACTLY the same as this, but I bet its cause is the same.

Can't get the link right now, but I know there's a TSB out for the '08 Accord Coupes concerning the 6-speed manuals and third gear. Same issue as on the Civic Si's and Acura RSX Type-S

yea it is on 8th civic board. I printed it but didn't save it. I would like to know if anyone has talked to their dealer about it and what they had to say about it. I have not had the chance to talk to them about it yet. I had to go out of my way quite a bit to get my car.
