Default Looking to by a 7th Gen Civic

Hi All,
I currently own an EG Civic and its great but it's time to upgrade.
I am now looking to buy a 7th GEN Civic (2003 to 2006 model in
Australia)
Can anyone tell me if:

- There are any know problems or recalls on this car?
- Things to look out for when buying.
- Good and bad points about the car.
- Anything else!

Looking forward to your feedback.
Regards,
Michael.

Son-in-law has an '03 here in the states. At about 100,000km the large bush
in the front of the lower control arms had broken. We changed the lower
arms ourselves were about $95 U.S. each. You can buy the bushing but we
had no access to a press. At 110,000km the auto trans failed with no
warning and we has always serviced it regularly. Dealer said very rare but
had seen a few like this. Honda took care of it on warranty. Car has about
160,000km now and other than described has been flawless. Would not
hesitate to buy again. Scott
