What the heck were you doing there?
That area of Finland is mostly Swedish speaking and there are lots of wealthy people living there. That said, also with most smaller Finnish towns there are lots of people who are clearly the result of cousins marrying each other if you get my drift. "American style" if you watch Top Gear.
And don't get me wrong my fellow Finns, I have moved to Helsinki from a small town.
I'm pleased with my Honda. Sure the plastic dash had scratches on it from day one, but that is getting sorted out by the dealer as soon as they get replacement parts. I had a little incident the other day with the boot lid leaking water into the car. Having that checked out wednesday.
Seems like a lot, but with the positive and friendly assistance from my dealer and the fact that I'm no longer pootling around in my 206 makes up for these small short-comings.
I'd recommend getting a Civic no doubt about it. In fact I already have.
