My new Honda Civic drifts/pulls to the right as it approaches around 65 mph. Don't know if there's a problem with the balancing or if that's normal behavior in cheaper cars.As an update, it's a 7 day old 2008 Honda Civic. It wasn't in any accident.

have an alignment check done

ELVI

check the air pressure in your tires

Todd C

before alignment check check tire pressure in all tires

that is not the normal behaviour of cheaper cars. it's probably our alignment. you should get it checked as soon as possible.

Either Air Pressure or Front End Alignment

It shouldn't be happening. When you say "new" - do you mean "brand new, first owner new" or "used but new to you"? Because if the car was previously owned, it could have sustained a collision that bent the frame.The first thing you should check, though, is your tire pressure. If the tire pressure is not correct, or if one tire is lower than the others, this will cause the car to pull.You also might need a front-end alignment. If you hit a bad bump recently, it could throw the alignment out of whack, and that could cause the car to pull.But start with the easiest - check your tire pressure. Write down on your calendar the date you checked the pressure, and make a note for next month and the month after that to do it again. Check your pressure every month - and don't forget to CHECK THE SPARE. Also, when checking pressure, make sure you do it when the tires are cold. If you check it after you've been driving a while, you won't get an accurate reading. Remember - check tire pressure when tires are cold and check oil level after engine has heated up.

the samething every one else said

No, it should not pull on flat roads. Some roads have a lot of crown and some very minor pulling can occur. Changing lanes may make a difference in this case. Sounds to me like alignment or a defective tire. Defective tires can be a pain to diagnose. The only other factor is the weight balance of the occupants. Big people in little cars can upset handling. I would ask to drive another new Civic on the the same road to compare. BTW, quality tires are worth the price.

Its not normal for a car to pull, the vehicle might have a align problem, check the tire pressure on them also check is the vehicle has uneven wear due to ratios pull can cause a drift.
