6th gen was the the number one selling car in its class global distribution taken into consideration The years they were produced can u name one compact with high number produced 96 thru 2000.
Furthermore the points above are still valid regardless of wether the civic was number one or two in its class any preticular model year
I would be very surprised if that is even remotely true. There are too many variables to consider to be the top selling car from 96-2000. Especially when you are claiming world wide sales. Doing a quick google search shows that the top selling car of all time is the Toyota Corrola. That is full out not just in it's class, that is everything considered from trucks, to sports cars, to suvs. A search for 1999-2000 shows an article on edmonds.com and has the civic as the 7th selling car. That isn't even in the top 5. The top worldwide those 2 years for family sedan was the Toyota Camry.
I apologize for this getting off track, back to your questions.
...Also it has no cruise control switch what people doing to keep the cruise feature when they change the wheel over.
I remember reading an article once that a guy did some after market configuration with a couple buttons on the dash to keep the cruise control, but it might be likely that the links are dead and the pictures don't work as it was years ago. I think the article was on honda tech and was about putting an aftermarket wheel on and keeping cruise control.
Along with the cruise and air bag system to work, it can sometimes be tricky and almost impossible to get the horn to work as well. Being that the horn runs through the same cable as the SRS. I know the newer the car the harder it is to get an outside SRS system to code and work properly. Being that it could mean the difference between life and death most people don't seem to bother with them or unplug them so they don't have a false "start".
