So, I've just ordered a 1.8 EX with S/R in blueish silver with 18" Storm alloys and iPod connector. However I now have a choice.

The blueish silver car will be available approximately at the end of March and will be an 08 model build. I've liked the blueish silver civic since I first saw it and have had my heart set on it for some time. However I can get a silver 1.8EX in the same spec available around 21/2/08 (10 days). This is an 07 build but is brand new and not pre-registered. I will have to have the rear parking sensors fitted as an extra but the dealer will do it for no additional fee (i.e. same price as the 08 model). And I have checked that the rear parking sensors are Honda's own (having seen a few threads on here talking about inferior third party ones). I also have the choice to wait until March 1st and have it registered as an 08 plate.

We've got a family holiday planned in the first week of April so if the blueish silver civic were to be delayed then that might cause me a problem.

Anyone got the silver EX with storm alloys? Look any good? Better than blueish silver? Should I be concerned about taking an 07 model car? Should I wait until March 1st?

Your thoughts appreciated.

Thanks.

BTW For the record I was able to get to within £250 (£1750 off list) of the Drivethedeal price with my dealer. And he's taking a part exchange which saves me the job of moving on a well loved, but now very tired Alfa 166 3.0 Super Lusso.
