What owners wrote
2006 honda civic ex, 38000 miles. The 2006 civic has problems with struts. It causes uneven tire wear and an unstable rear end. The cupping wear in the inside of the rear tires magnifies this suspension defect. We wore out two sets of tires by 38,000 miles. The rear end is loose. The tire wear is not visible unless you look carefully on the inside of the rear tire tread. The car was involved in a severe accident in which the car flipped and rolled. The driver lost control after a corner on wet pavement.
