I'm sure the internals of the clutch were gonna hold, my car before the FIST was a '08 Civic EX, and the quality was superb. As the guy in the dealership told me, now the companies make the cars weak, because a car that lasts forever is not good for business. My mother has a 2013 Nissan Versa with only around 18K miles, and the front rotors are bad, cars nowadays are garbage, even Toyota.
