The Civic has gone!

TomH · 15th April 2012, 15:04

I have finally sold my Civic EX 2.2 which I got from new 3 years ago, I have to say it was a fantastic car, the 2.2 diesel engine was superb and in 3 years the only problems that I had was that the alarm packed in and it needed a new battery, which was all fixed under warranty. I can honestly say that the car never suffered from any rattles as others have reported on here, but the paintwork was awful and had a lot more stone chips than a 3 year old car should have had. I fancied a change this time and have now gone for a Seat Leon FR+ 170CR and love it, plenty of power, plus it has all the toys! and being a VAG car the paint work seems harder than the Civic. I can't fault the Civic it was a lovely car and I never got tired of driving it and will miss it. I will stick around on this great forum as it's one of the best I've been on.

When I was looking to get a motor the Leon FR was in my top 3 choices, but I went for the FN2 instead. Lovely looking motor, enjoy!
