i agree -

i hate the shifter..very notchy and seems to be long... its also kind of far from me being a tall person.

the brakes are poor, I always feel i'm going to slam into someone

Radio is average.. I swapped the headunit and I might change out the tweeters (I think the rest is fine for me though)

Headlights seem dull, so I put in HID's.

Tires are below average, as with all Hondas.. Got Bridgestone BLizzaks for the winter and the RE750's for the summer.

Power is okay, I hate being at 3500 rpms doing 75mph.. Acceleration in first and second feels good..afterwards it seems slow to me.. but it is a civic.
