I actually thought about buying one and I looked on the internet and was disappointed I couldn't find aftermarket shocks for recent models. My first car was a 92 Civic, and when I got Koni adjustable shocks for it, it totally transformed it. For all of Honda's engineering skills, the stock suspension tuning on their cars always seemed too jittery/bouncy. I drove a rental Chevy Sonic once, which I think many people would describe as a "shitbox" but the suspension tuning really stood out as significantly better than I'm used to from Hondas.

...actually Wikipedia says: "For Chevrolet Sonic models built in the United States, the Sonic features suspension tuning by Corvette Racing engineer John Buttermore."
