I've just come back from a couple of weeks holiday in France (Brittany), having only had my 2.2ES for a month or so. I've been really impressed by its practicality, both for carting around my family's stuff and also for loading up on wine & beer. I only saw one other Civic the entire time - in Morlaix. I too - well, the car - generated quite a bit of local interest.

Performance fully loaded and with a roofbox was great. Fuel economy was mid to high 40's for the 1100 miles total travelled. Before I got on the ferry to come home it was reading just over 48mpg for the trip. But I caned it up the M5 for 250 miles and it dropped to 46mpg. Really impressive given the box & load.
