My car Arrived today!

Bill Roberts · 22nd December 2006, 23:28

At last... Ordered at the end of August, so I suppose it's about average. I've just taken delivery of my 2.2 Diesel EX in NHB and the vin shows it as a 2007 model.

No obvious faults, feels quicker than my Megane but the sat nav girl is nowhere near as polite! I haven't heard her say please yet, but I guess I can live with that

I haven't tried the voice controls or had time to pair my phone to it but we'll see how that works out tomorrow. Photo's and more info in due course...

cheers
Bill

Good luck with your new Civic, Bill. NHB is the best.....enjoy.

Is that how long most people are waiting? I ordered a type-s on Thursday and have been told it will be at the dealers mid January - i've asked them to hold onto it till March so i can have an 07 plate.

BTW hope you have no problems with the car....reading the posts on this forum has got me a little worried.

Looks good, Bill. The black around the windows blends in nicely and gives the car a 'bigger' appearance. The black masking in the rear window helps to extend the roof line. Ace!

Very nice Bill, enjoy your new car.

I am planning on ordering a 1.8 EX NHB soon. I was thinking of getting a different set of 17" wheels than the standard, but after seeing these photos, I might not bother. The standard wheels look quite nice with the NHB and I can put the cash towards the studio pack.

Cheers

That's what I think too.. They are nice indeed... Worth sparing them, and spending the reserves for something else!

Completely agree, the EX is really well kitted out, go for one of the packs instead.
