Another biased view!

In Greece the sunroof version (executive) comes with 17"s standard!

Hi there ,its our civic in the pictures ,and yes they are the standard 16" wheels on a 2.2 i-CTDi ES we felt we would stick with them so we could have the slightly smoother ride . We have now got it fully colour coded and it looks so differant its unreal ,have not had chance to take any good pictures yet will keep you all posted

Don't think it. Go for Tangerine orange.It's a new color and looks very fantastic with the sun here in GREECE

Nemesis · 16th March 2008, 17:12

I had the same dilema, but think the Orange looks great with 18" Storms! Decided to be safe and order the Galaxy Grey - think the Orange is amazing, but not sure how I'd feel in a year when it's not looking it's showroom best!

Champagne will hold its price better come trade in time...
IMO Honda has shot itself in the foot replacing Vivid Blue with Tangerine

Champagne silver is very elegant, tangerine looks crazy, but I love it. You may have some problems with selling the orange one in future. For me champagne is more for ladies - more subtle and calm. If I had to choose, would go for the tangerine, although you can't stay unobserved in it.

I totally agree, Vivid blue is a very cool colour.

I'd go for the silver.

A valid point, you couldn't hide in crowd of cars in a Tangerine one! If you upset someone, they'd recognise you weeks later!!

parkers142 · 16th March 2008, 19:15

Tangerine Orange nothing else comes close.

It is going to be either tangerine 5-door exec in 3 months or Champagne in 2 weeks.

I had originally ordered tangerine, but now I am a bit sceptical on how well tangerine looks on a 5-door model (3-door is perfect!)

Due to a peculiar situation, I can still get the orange or cancel and buy a champagne silver. But I have to answer to my dealer today.

Could you please give me pros and cons? The really bad thing is that I haven't seen in flesh any of these colours, only in photos.

So I am counting on people who have seen them both.. (in 5-door sunroof configurations if possible)

Thank you so much!

Dimitris.

Tangerine but with all the plastic spoilers painted. Worth the wait in my opinion.

simon1 · 16th March 2008, 21:16

Great choice!!! Congratulations for being bold!!

Type-R '07 was just expressing his opinion.

The only thing with the bold colour and living in Greece, is the dust!! I lived in Cyprus for 2 years and my car was always covered in dust from the dry air and sand, and no matter how much I washed it, it didn't stay clean!!
Although that was a small price to pay for guaranteed all year round sunshine!!

drizo72 · 17th March 2008, 08:03

Tangerine was my initial and... final choice!

Thank you all so much for your opinions... What a great forum this is...

I am definitely considering adding the CTR spoiler later on...

It is going to be a long wait till June now...

Dimitris.

rallakias · 17th March 2008, 08:23

wise decision! there will be 2 tangerines in Greece

simon1 · 17th March 2008, 11:14

So NOW I can say it - congratulations!!!

Well done Go for it. The main thing here is to get what you acually really wanted. No regret! Enjoy you new ride when it comes and caution on the road.
