So my parents bought (and by bought I mean leased) a 07 civic (SE I believe) automaticlast year. there's like 23,000 kms on it TOPS. When it starts it sounds aweful, I mean NASTY, like it's full of sand instead of oil. The trans is really jerky, revs really high when they "coast" down hills. They say that they are getting b/w 26 and 30 mi/gal. The new civic was/is advertised as getting about 50 mi/gal. and they drive real easy. The ppl at Honda told them they were crazy basically. Any ideas, or anyone else have this problem? We gotta sort this out.
