IMA battery failed at 84000 miles. Honda fixed for free. New battery failed again at about 150000 miles. Toyota Prius batteries last far longer. This car is a disaster and Honda won't pay clients for their shoddy design.

pretty expensive to fix... kinda sucks considering the car only has 140,000km. I no longer love the car (its brown and rusting at the wheel wells).

I stuck between selling it as is but would feel bad in doing that to someone else.

my 97 accord was champ compared to this civic. I sold it to my little sister with 160,000km and she sold it to a friend at 230,000km and its still kicking.

After replacing the battery, the car performed normally. My dealer got me a discount on the battery from American Honda Motors.
