1) Driver's side door lock/handle don't work quite right from the inside, very stiff and hard to use (I hear you, Sxecrow!)
2) Weird clicking noise from what sounds like behind the dash or seam of door and body on driver's side when the car has heat on the inside. They are random, and totally intermittant. Sometimes lots of them, sometimes only once in a few minutes.
3) interior collects huge amount of dust in a small amount of time, leading to many sneezes.
4) Shifter bushings pretty worn, shifts are quite notchy.
5) Passenger side wiper-fluid nozzles are completely plugged up. from road salt/ice/who knows what. Tried fixing it with a pin, didn't work.
6) About 10,000 dings all across the body of the car, especially the hood. They seem to breed and multiply by night.
7) Zero torque below 3500 rpm in any gear other than first. Hell, even in first gear!
8) No trunk latch, JDM sunvisors, maplights, low fuel light, etc.
9) Ok, now I'm not really listing problems, just gripes. Seeya!

2) I had that this morning ... but I didnt have it at lunchtime :dunno:
5) have you tried taking it out and soaking it in simple green or 409? Perhaps some CLR?

1) paint is starting to go thin on roof, trunk, hood
2) roof and trunk leaks
3) i guess because it's an auto when i cruise at 85 on the freeway it spins at 3,500 rpm, so i get like 26 mpg :sad:
4) still burns oil
last weekend i went to honda to see about the seal recalls osx mentioned and they said it was over in 96 and to get all new seals it would be $2,000 with work. so the guy just said to go to a hardware store and get some rubber and add to my seals. thats the only thing i have to say about that

i thought it was normal because it just made since to me, more rpms more fuel injected, worse gas mileage. i'll look at my plugs, what are the best kind to buy? i would have thought that since i just bought it from a dealer about 4 months ago that would have been done...... i'll check. oh and i don't think i would call 3,500 low, i would be hapy with 2,500. damn 4 speed
