When I first got it and it wasn't performing the way I thought it would, they kept telling me it was the computer needing to adjust for a few thousand miles. I'm over 13K now and it hasn't changed.
I originally wanted a Civic EX but gave into the pressure to get an Accord. That's the last time I go against my instinct on a car.
Well if you bought the car because you were "pressured" into it, then of course you aren't going to like it, and you'll find reasons to complain. I think that's just human nature.
If it really bugs you, then lose the car and get the Civic you wanted.
