I have an 06 ES Civic. I've only had it a couple of months. So far I have returned it to the dealer three times complaining that I sometimes have trouble selecting second gear. This only seems to happen when changing down to second! The garage have test drove it, and reported no problems.

Other issues I've had are; after the hand brake mod, the garage didn't replace all the screws in the center consul. Rear shocks had to be replaced after they started creaking.
