What can I say? the deed is done, I collected the Civic last night from warrington, had a great drive back home over the woodhead pass and down the M1, as it was 8ish it was getting quite dark and I could really appreciate the interior and dash display.
Well impressed with the performance of the 2.2, was a bit noisier than I remembered but you certainly do not find the power lacking, 1st gear hardly gets used there's that much torque.
Do agree that the cons would be: rear view is worse than I remembered, no spare wheel (must contact Honda!!) seat fabric looks very smart but could be a pain with a 2 year old little girl (arghhhh) as the cold weather starts to arrive I'm sure I'll miss the rear wiper etc..... But all said and done the Civics pro's far out weigh the cons and I have had so many looks and comments already!!
Cannot wait to get to work on it and get it cleaned to my standard and order some parking (CISCO) sensors, oh and I cannot believe the exhaust are for show only!! I guess the dirty diesel smoke would make the back of the car black??.
Bye for now
