So you think moving to the Civic might be a good idea?

A mate of mine has one, and I've driven it many times - so I know the car fairly well. One concern is missing the brutal acceleration of the ST after 4000 rpm - I hope I'm making the right choice. The economy on the ST is daft though, and the rattles are getting worse on a daily basis!

Looking at the Honda website is seems the list for a Type S 2.2 is £16,555 therefore I'm not sure that £15,495 for a 2006 car with 1500 mi is a great price. It really needs to be at least £500 less. I want the detachable towbar, maybe I should negotiate to get that thrown in

Just out of curiosity (and in case I'm not following the Honda site correctly) what are the differences between the Type S and Type S GT? The spec seems very similar - what am I missing for £1000 ?
