You must be confusing this generation civic (06-10) as being similar to the 01-05 civic. They are much different. The earlier has very little caster (2-2.5) and terrible steering. This new generation has 7 degrees of caster and a low mounted steering rack, its a much better layout to use for a fairly basic touring car entry.

Fantastic work as always. Is it on three cylinders? Any reason why I’m seeing one in the center back more often?

Yes it’s on 3 cylinders, no reason to see the rear more than others, only need 3 for cars up to 3600 lbs.
