The one little thing that irritates you about your car
Discussion
Been driving an EP3 Type R Civic on a daily basis since March now and love it to death, but the only teeny, weeny thing that irritates me about it is the rear light clusters. Why did they change the light clusters to resemble aftermarket items on the face-lift models? 
It's only a tiny fault (IMHO) in an otherwise brilliant little car.
What about you?

The drainage pipe that runs from the sunroof down the inside pillar of the windscreen on the passenger side is blocked and when we get heavy rain it fills up and rains in my car.
Not good!
Have tried putting a wire pipe in aswell as compressed air but to no avail.
Other than that faultless! Not bad for a 13 Year old french hatchback.

Yeah the rear lights are much nicer on the pre facelift, but the front looks nicer on the facelift.It's only a tiny fault (IMHO) in an otherwise brilliant little car.

The rear light clusters- now you mention it, the the uninspiring 4 cylinder engine.It's only a tiny fault (IMHO) in an otherwise brilliant little car.

Great cars though they are I wouldn't want to be seen dead in them.
Pistonheads- image/cred matters
So just a few teeny things

I've got exactly the same problem with mine. It's a really poor design that left me with a horn stuck on at 3am when the rain ran into the fusebox. I've fixed it (touch wood) by removing the rubber "flaps" on the end of the pipes as all these serve to do is provide a "dam" for the sediment to collect up against!

No a Peugeot 106. I've got exactly the same problem with mine. It's a really poor design that left me with a horn stuck on at 3am when the rain ran into the fusebox.

Ive had the car up on ramps and the driver side drains fine but we cant see where it drains from to search the same area on the opposite side.

The cup holder in the centre console has a tendency to flip open and is also positioned in just the right place so that any drinks placed in it are in danger of being knocked over when changing gear.
Good call, the cup holder on my old Polo was constantly used and in a decent position, the Honda has it in a laughable position and will never be used. Never really saw meself complaining about cup-holders before.
