*UPDATE*

The dealer is keen for me to take this Vivid Blue 1.8 EX away from his sight, lol.

He's let me take it for a big test drive, I picked it up this evening after work and he said to just bring it back next week! Very surprising, and very good I thought. He also had to tax the car, put me on their fleet/trade insurance and he put £30 of petrol into it!

Initial impressions from the 35 mi journey home are very good. There's more power and flexibility in the 1.8 than I was expecting. I guess coming from a Focus ST that's actually high praise indeed.

I should never have bought the ST, and gone from my 1.6 Focus straight into the Civic; it would have been a lot easier!
