Not bad for ten grand TC.......

That's a huge problem off your hands, Topcat. I doubt if there's been another Honda model over the last twenty years where your kind of experience could have gone on for so long and been so resistant to resolution.

You were so right to buy the Civic on the strength of Honda's formerly well-deserved reputation...perhaps the best in the industry. I'd have made the same choice myself, if a neighbour hadn't bought one first and shattered my faith in the model by experiencing all the faults we know so well...and used only to expect of other makes.

Good luck with your new steed. It can't possibly be worse and Honda should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Thanks for all the nice replies everyone

As Pottsy said I do feel part of civinfo furniture so if there are no objections I would like to stay

Please stay.

This place would not be the same without you!

She would come back anyway, just for the Chatbox and all that chat of her own lol!

But TC must stay only so me and her can gang up on DR when everyone else has gone away at night

Hi TC

All the best with your new car. You can fill me in on all the details at our next meet.

Hartside · 27th January 2008, 16:11

Just dropped in to see what was happening. Good luck with your new car TC, I hope it turns out to be a good one for you. Enjoy driving it!

jazzman · 27th January 2008, 16:43

Good luck with the new car TC (what is it?) and I hope to see you
when you visit Eastbourne so let me know and I`ll put the kettle on

Bog · 27th January 2008, 17:27

Good luck TC!

I too will be getting rid of the Civc in the near future, as soon as I work out what to replace it with!

This is honestly the worst car I have owned in terms of build quality and faults (And I've owned lots of new cars/new models).

The first six months or so were fine, then the honeymoon period soon wore off. The faults and rattles came thick and fast!

Essexboy · 27th January 2008, 20:09

It's gotta be a mk II Focus... there are some massive bargains to be had on those at the moment, my sister is buying one

Yes please do

lippy · 27th January 2008, 20:49

Best of luck TC, hope the new car behaves itself.

And do stay, this place would not be the same without you.

As for other people perhaps criticizing the make/model of your new car, cars are a very personal choice and I for one would not (criticise that is). After all, we all have our favourites.

Good luck with your new car, I am also thinking about changing my Civic for another manufacture, like you I am fed up with same problems.

Perhaps we should start a new poll with the title;
What make and model is TC's new car?

Anyway, wish you best of luck on your new wheels, TC.

GHGH · 28th January 2008, 22:06

And then again maybe not.
But I hope TC tell us how her new Focus behaves
