Just test drove both a Type S diesel and petrol. I preferred the diesel but to be blunt both need at least another 20BHP under the bonnet.

The handling is good, interior good and space good and I will most likely be going for one on lease through the company as my first company car. But at the moment my car is a 51 plate Skoda Octavia vRS with 215bhp on tap and boy does that car make the civic feel slow

Finished the hour with the car and many thanks to Pennine Honda for that. I really do like it and will now get one but as soon as I got back in the Octy it was big grin time again

The plus side of the civic though is 12p per mile instead of 9p for all other medium diesels that are 2000cc or less and my spare cash will be used to buy an EVO
