Does the Honda Civic have any known problems?

I’m in the market for an 8th generation Honda Civic. Can you tell me if there have been any changes to the suspension and ride quality during the model’s history? Also, are there any reliability issues I should be aware of?

For decent ride quality, best to buy on 16-inch wheels, not 17 or 18-inch wheels.
