What kind of engine does a Civic LX have?
I have a 2007 Civic LX (1.8 L 4 cylinder). It only has about 25K miles, and it drives just fine. For the first two years the engine was very quiet and the car idled smoothly. Then, I began to notice more noise from the engine (a slight “chugging”, sort of like the sound of a diesel engine).
Are there any problems with a 2007 Honda Civic?
Go for it! The 2007 Civics have been involved in a class action lawsuit involving the rear control arms. If you purchase a used civic make sure the rear control arms have the letter “C” stamped on them, otherwise you will rapidly wear out tires. The fix for this problem costs several hundred dollars (and Honda WILL NOT PAY for the repair).
