Gripes w/ 6th gens
What are you're pet peeves concerning 6th gens? I'll name some of mine after driving the car for a month:
- Bigger blind sports compared to the 5th gen. My rear view mirror doesn't let me see the entire back window, which I could in my 95.
- I used to be able to see to the sides and a little bit behind the car with the side view mirrors. Now I can only see straight back. Again, bigger blind spots, I've noticed a whole car can fit in it.
- Not a fan of the tail lights.
- I hate having trunk springs instead of the gas dampers.
- Fuel gauge doesn't have any quarter marks and what's the point of the million little tick marks?
- Gas light likes to come on and go off when going up hills or accelerating fast.
- In bright sunlight the gauge cluster looks like every light is on and that ones that are actually on you can't see.
The pros outweigh the cons as usual with Hondas, it's safe to say I'm extremely happy with this car.

Moonroof gasket seals good but squeaks against the painted roof, unless I apply a silicone every other month.
We have it pretty good, don't we? Ask an owner of a late '90's Chevy or Dodge, and see how long their list is.

I should have been more specific, the sedan taillights are hideous and everyone I talk to hate the coupe tails as well until I tell them the heritage behind the design.
And yes, I think I'm going to put a lawn chair in my trunk so I can relax while everyone else works on their cars. We do have it made well with these Hondas.

Another one for some reason on mine it seems like the darn windows are paper thin and on the freeway it gets kind of loud.
