Age group of Civic owners

richierich · 23rd June 2006, 08:10

If Honda wanted to attract a new, younger group of people to the new Civic I feel there attempts may have been scuppered by a group of hardcore fans, I had the "pleasure" of spending a couple of days in Eastbourne, and the new Civic was everywhere. I had not planned to have 2 days there, but made the mistake of stopping at a zebra crossing!

Mind you having said that I think the half leather driving glove look is certainly a winner, I might get me a pair, will go well with my new blue LED interior lighting, the tartan rug is already on the parcel shelf

Well they certainly failed with me (60 next week).
But I have never really grown up.

agree, i'm 25, and i couldnt see myself buying any other car on the road brand new.

Megane, no
focus, possibly,
Leon, possibly
anything else, no

The civic just has what i want in a fantastic shell!

Andrea · 13th December 2006, 07:08

24 and i have got one, i think it is the fact that there may be many younger people who cant afford one.

l-noel · 13th December 2006, 07:35

42 year's old...

Tried a lot of car to be sure ...
No french car...
Bmw 1 : no
Audi/Vw: no
Leon : could be a good choice (140 tdi with DSG) but the sound of the engine (tractor like) and the inside design is so cheap !
Alfa GT : Nice looking car, nice to drive... but I prefer the civic

RR,
Yes, many of us oldies are still buying Civics, it's good for pulling the chics at the OAP club.
We went for Champagne Silver, being the closest colour to beige.

23 years old.

I've driven Honda since I got my license, and will probably keep on doing so as long as the produce my kind of car!

The Civic and S2000 do the perfect job for me at the moment! Even though the S' doesn't enjoy the Swedish winter!

I agree with the first and third lines but not the second, sarahjo!!!!

According to Pistonheads, "There is a very simple rule of thumb for most men that holds true whatever age you are. The woman should be half your age plus ten years."

Dawson · 13th December 2006, 13:16

23 here. I considered other cars and thought that the Civic was the best for the money taking everything into account, but that's a very grown up way of deciding on things.
