well im borrowing my old 03 sxt because i sold the ex and the si doesnt come until next friday on the 1st, the seats are made of this really durable feeling cloth and i have to admit its quit a nice change from my older civic and its super comfortable and firm. you dont need squishy seats

and whats really sad is that thing kept up with my teg until like 3rd or 4th gear

No problems here.

Where on the sterring wheel did this happen?

My 02 LX coupe had an issue with the steer wheel peeling, but the warranty was already expired. I just put a cover on it, and traded it in. They never noticed.

perhaps, but hell....two years later and 76,000 miles later (dad drives it a million miles a day) still looks BRAND new....and all the SI's are having wear and tear problems at only a few thousand miles i hate neons but i was VERY upset that a $10,000 car has a MUCH nicer and more durable interior than a $22,000 si...

my steering wheel has scrapes on it from me getting in and out with my knife on my pocket and it catching it. my shift **** already has a scratch along that, i can only assume from the thumb spike cast i was in for so long. and my seats are already showing signs of wear and tear after 2 months. im not too thrilled with the interior quality. looks yes, durability, no. honda said they would replace my seats for free one time as a courtesy and thats it. so imma ride in em til they fall apart and right before i sell it i'll get em replaced.

Yeah i've noticed recently to that I have a couple spots on the steering wheel where maybe my nail or something caught and tore it a bit. More like a snag. Yeah I wasnt to pleased at this either. But I have the 60K extented warranty and you better believe im gonna be using it. !!

What bothers me the most is the plastic on the doors handles. They mark easily, just like the damn dash pieces.
