So far so good, no problems. And given that my previous ride was a Civic 2.0, I can't help but compare :1. Steering - the UDM is stiffer and I have to really turn it, especially when doing a U turn. The Civic's steering is more "loose".2. NVH - the UDM is definately much better. My UDM is the M Sport model with 17 in RFTs. Even with that it is much more quiet than the Civic 2.0. I added on the door insulations for the old Civic plus changed to Goodyear F1 Asym 2 (17 in rims, 205/45 tyres) then only the noise became more tolerable. But the UDM is still better. So I am happy with the ride so far. And one more thing, when it rains, I can't hear the drops on the car top anymore. For Civic 2.0 - it feels as if you are sitting in a shed with zinc roof under torrential rain. 3. Responsiveness - Civic is much better is this area. When I floor in accelrator, I can really feel the kick, instantly. The UDM is a heavier car by almost 200kgs, so the response will be a tad slower. But then again, I am holding back until my new car hits 2,000 kms for the running in .... can't wait.  4. Windows - the Civic comes with hydrophilic side mirrors and windscreen. So when it rains, water beads and flows off easliy. Not the UDM tho, rain water splatters and immediately blurs the vision, kind of disappointed with that. Had to do RainX myself. So far it is OK, it does not make the wipers jerk. What I like most is the stereo set in the UDM, excellent sound quality! But you know what's the best part of driving a UDM?Nobody tailgates me anymore !!!!! Muahahahahahha!</p></blockquote><p></p>
