I wouldn't necessarily agree with that comment anyway, there are new R56 owners posting with various issues.

Also just as an example, my early build MCS has had just two faults; a failed water pump and the cold start rattle.

There is a greater possibility of problems with any early build vehicle. I have owned a number and have had problems.....and they have eventually been fixed.

Prior to buying a new MCS in June 07, I owned a Civic Type-R in February 04.........this was the facelift version of the 1st Type-R. I had no end of problems which were not fixed

I traded it in June 07 for a MCS.......apart from occasional cases of the 'noise' when it's left parked facing down the drive to the garage......easily cured by doing a restart.

Apart from the above the only other is a whistling noise from the windscreen at high speed or strong cross winds. The Dealer said they would fit a new windscreen which will done shortly.

Overall I am (touch wood) very pleased with the car
