Hey All,
Ok, thanks to a very nice and friendly salesman Adam at Honda in Letchworth, Hertfordshire I finally got an oppotunity to test drive a space ship.
Actually I got to keep it for 24 hours, which allowed me to test it in the all important night time driving which is one area I had read about on this forum as being a nightmare with the glare.
I'll happily report this was non-existant, the dash lights dimmed automatically when the lights were turned on & were perfect.
Anyway, it turned out the model they lent me was a Type S GT and considering I was going to go for the lower spec Type S it worked out well as I am now going to plump for the GT version. Was not really into having the glass roof, but love cruise control, electric mirrors, dual climate etc. taht the GT brings with it.
This decision was easy in terms of equipment, but the colour choice is stumping me.
My current car, a Pug 307 in Paprika (burnt orange) is great, I love the colour even if others dont. It's different without being to in ya face if you know what I mean. Of course guess what demo car I had?
Yep a Tangerine one
Loved it, I really did and fitted with 18" blades it was awesome & with the sun out for a change it looked good.
So now to my problem, Tangerine or
NHB?
My partener (soon to be wife in May 2009) is not into the Tangerine at all, me on the other hand I love it. Friends are trying to warn me off it to, but I am leaning either way.
On one hand I want the Tangerine for me as it's different to what I see mainly on the roads, but on the other I want the black as it does look mean and the other half will most likely be more keen to drive the car.
Help!
Honest opinions please on your feelings. I know this has been brought up time & time again but what the hell lets hear it. I want to give the salesman my order tomorrow.
I have attached a picture of my current car and the Civic I test drove.
Thanks all.
Ian
