All the reviews of the Civic describe it as a brilliant manual transmission but plenty of owners have had issues and I wonder sometimes if media kind of avoids being critical of this stuff because they badly want the manual transmission to remain relevant as they will always point out the flaws in a DCT or other Auto transmission but rarely will they pick apart a manual transmission. Heck several posters here seem to believe the M2 manual transmission isn't very good but have you ever seen a single review where the reviewer said anything bad about it? |
Well. That was interesting. No oil temp gauge in the Civic Type R.
. And here I was being annoyed that the M2Cs oil temp gauge is buried in the OBC display rather than being a dedicated gauge like in every other M car I have owned....
