Hi everyone.

Glad to have stumbled across this forum. Seems very informative and friendly.

I've had my alabaster silver 2.2 ES since March and have done about 4,500 miles and am still enjoying it.

It's great to drive, the engine is a peach and it looks superb. I test drove a number of cars when i was buying it. When I first test drove the civic i took out a 1.8 petrol and while I enjoyed it I didn't feel it was worth the extra expense over the old model. I nearly settled on a new Leon which was a great drive and is possibly prettier than the Civic but at the last moment I went back and took out the diesel Civic. I don't know why but I felt immediately in love with it and ordered it that day. Love at second sight?

Everybody I know thinks the car is stunning to look at (in a Dyson mating with a Cylon off Battlestar Galactica kind of way).and I have warmed more to it looks over time. I love the cockpit of the car - it looks cool, is well laid out and simple to use.

Cabin Space is less than the last Civic but it is the price to pay for having undergone a transformation from an old maid into a sexy cyber vixen. Boot space is great and the magic seats are a great steal from the Jazz.

Hopefully the reliability will be similar to the old civic which I have had years of trouble free motoring with so far (touch wood).

The best endorsement i can give it is that my motorbike has been left sat in the garage this year whilst I found excuses for us to go on more family outings.
