Happiness

If I purchase a new Civic are the service costs expensive?, Anyone paid for a service yet, also is the Honda Happiness scheme worth the money and can it be bought anytime before the first service?

If you are thinking of buying a diesel, then Honda Happiness is not available, despite the fact that it says so in the brochure. You might just get it if you negotiate it before signing on the dotted line.

I made the mistake of believing the brochure, and then asking for it when I paid for the car.

Overall, a great car, but with far too many teething problems and corner cutting by Honda. In my experience, Honda reliability and quality is grossly overrated.

I think that it has always stated that the Happiness deal is not available for the diesels, in the price list. Certainly both versions I have seen did do.


A.N. Seems like you are not really taken with the Civic, would you not think of off loading it and buying something else if you are really so unhappy?

karlak - don't get him started!


LOL - sorry Ancient , I know really that you are actually posting this as a warning to future buyers

There is a thread in here somewhere with a big debate about if and when Happiness was available on the 2.2
