The reverse shift and the steering wheel in the way
Advice to buyer:
By a used 1996
Detailed review:
Disappointed. I had an 84 civic hatchback for 15 years. LOVED it. The new one is disappointing.
1) Shifting into reverse isNOT EASY!!!
2) The trunk area is smaller due to the wideness of the speakers in the back (which are unecessary anyway, and I needed the room.
3) No trunk light
4) very dimm overhead light.
5) My 84 could get up any hill, in snow. This one is sluggish, you have to down shift fast.
6) The stick shift is a reach for my arms yet the steering whell hits me in the knee.
