Not sure if its me - but I feel that the front bumper is starting to sag/separate - do other CTRs have the same uneven gap?

One of the few things that doesn't impress me about this gen Civic are the panel gaps. They seem too uneven and too big in many cases.

I have this issue. Didn't notice it until I got home from the dealer. I will eventually take it in and see if they can tighten it. The gaps on this car are comically obvious, but I still love the car.

Panel gaps are not good on these cars. Reminds me of Mustangs built at Flat Rock.

The dealer fixed the sagging bumper

My fuel lid cover doesn’t sit flush. Would the dealer fix it?

One of the unknowns/probably cons to this car is it's made in England. Fit and finish seems a little lacking, although I'm sure the tranny and engine are solid.

I wish they had produced it in Japan, like past Type Rs.

If it's on the drive side then yea I have the same issue. I'll take it to the dealer one day when I'm not lazy and have them readjust it.

Not ideal to build your flagship car in a country that produces two of the most unreliable brands in the world in Land Rover and Vauxhall. At least newer Jaguars are a smidgen better than horrible.

100% EP3s, 100% FN2 and 100% of FK2 were also made in Swindon? (JDM EP3s were assembled in Swindon and then sent to Japan). Only EK9s and FD2s were made in Japan...
