Common problems and easy repairs on a 2007 Civic

The 2007 Honda Civic SI is a relatively easy car to maintain, and a good choice for the average car owner. Changing the engine air filter is no problem, as you only have to disengage a few fasteners for access to the filter. These fasteners are easy to disengage. The brake fluid level is very visible in the engine bay. This will allow you to check and replenish the fluid level with reliability. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the rear of the vehicle. This keeps the tire and jack kit ready to go in case of emergency.

Some things are more difficult to repair on the 2007 Honda Civic SI. You will have to peel back the wheel well lining in order to access the headlight. This lining can be a problem, as it can grow tight to the vehicle over time. To change the cabin air filter, you will have to lower the glove box first. This would have been easier if there were designated panel in the rear of the glove box for access. Checking the engine coolant fluid level can be difficult, as the fluid reservoir is not located in an overly visible spot in the engine bay.
