Are we common yet?

pekwah1 · 28th July 2007, 23:04

Hi Guys,

So as a mobile engineer, i see a lot of cars through my travels, and am starting to see quite a few new Civs.

Do you think we're getting to that dangerous 'common' status or do you think we're still rare enough to be a dangerous little cult?

Talking in advance of course.... T-minus 57h 56m till my baby arrives!

The Civic will never be 'common'

Just delight in the fact that many people have an extremely good eye for a good motor car.

Totally agree.

Maybe just 'more common' as opposed to common, I've started to see more and more.

They cramp my style somewhat

No, don´t worry old chap, we will never be "common".
There will perhaps more of us, but we shall never be "common".

Any idea of how many % av new car sales that are Civics in the UK?

Here it is 0,42% and we also have a very old average age of cars compared to other european countires so impact on total population is very low.

And around my parts I hardly ever see any.
Think I have seen less than 10 on the road ever, excl the demo cars I have driven.

I think the sales are picking up, especially as the Civic (both 1,8 and Type-R) have been the test winners in motor magazines.

I have connections with Swindon, having lived there in the past (actually worked very close to where the Honda site is now) and visit the town from time-to-time. Well, not unaturally, Civics really are 'quite common' there. Saw more yesterday just around the centre than I see in a whole week elsewhere, so I guess it depends a bit on location too.

It's still a miracle if i manage to see maybe one a day, sometimes i can go weeks without seeing another civic
