Thanks for coming up with an Asian link to this site. As long as you're from asia may it be Japan, China, Korea, Philippines, Vietnam, etc., this is a good site for all Asian 8th gen civic owners. I was browsing the Web for an Asian site and ended up empty handed so I suggested this to our Webby and he didn't let me down....
I'm from the Phils. and am a proud owner of a 8th gen Honda civic 1.8S AT. Just want to give a summary of the problems (major/minor ones) that I got from my unit...

Rattling on right front side - diagnosed as a deffective engine mount; replaced last week with a 3rd generation design; so far doing well, no more rattle
Defective hazard switch - still to be replaced under warranty
DBW or throttle lag - am not sure if it's really an issue or it's just part of the package (that I have to accept and live with?!!!
Not as advertised milleage - I'm only running 6-7km per liter, city driving
Automatic transmission - feels jerky; I previously owned a T. Corolla 1996 A/T and the transmission was smoother; just wondering why Honda didnt use continuos variable transmission (CVT) in the civics

Hope to hear some comments from other Asian owners of the same kind...
