Civinfo - View Single Post - Hello from Aberdeen, thinking about a Type S diesel

Hello.

A quick intro. I'm 23 from Aberdeen and currently drive a 2006/06 Focus ST-2 in orange. Under the bonnet lives a lovely Volvo turbocharged 2.5 five which develops around 225bhp and sounds utterly fantastic. Overlooking the interior rattles, the main problem with it is fuel economy, typically returning 22mpg. In January I'm moving into a new home and will be covering 22,000 miles a year so I'm considering changing to something more economical.

The current favourite is a Civic Type S in Nighthawk Black. As a good looking economical sporty diesel hatchback it sounds like it could be a great car to own. Switching to the Civic will save me save me in the region of £200 per month between fuel and insurance costs, which totals a whopping £2400 a year. Big money to a wee nipper like me.

I'm test driving the car on Saturday and if all goes well I'll be ordering one in NHB. I'll reply at the weekend detailing how the test drive went. For now I'll leave you some pictures of my ST to oogle/laugh at. I'm going to miss it....

(clicky for larger versions)

PS. Could I be the youngest Civic owner in the world?
