Helllo from Northern Ireland

Blue Thunder · 9th June 2008, 21:48

Just a quick hello.

Picked up my 5dr ES in blue silver in April and very delighted with it.

Done about 1500 miles now and still get a smile whenever I hit the big red button.

Having read a few of the niggles other owners have suffered, I'm either deaf to the knocks and creaks, or they don't exist in mine.

I thought the rear view would be a problem, but now I don't notice any issue now. The rear screen seems to keep fairly clear, but yesterday I put some Halfords water repellant on it just to see if it makes a difference. It has not rained since and I'm loath to pour water on to my nice clean car, so I'm waiting to see if it works.

Anyway, glad to be a member and look forward to reading the rest of the forum.

BTW, how do you create an avatar?

Welcome to the place.

The rear view is something you get used to and I am now used to it - parking sensors do help, though

.

Do check the Wiki as FWH suggests it's an invaluable tool.

Welcome!
Another civic to keep an eye out for!

Welcome

Very pleased with mine so far and the roads near me will test for squeaks and rattles allright.

Only downer was apart from scraping one of my 18" storms (those michelin pilot sport provide little protection) on a kerb at only 1 month only and having to shell out £50 to get it sorted.

Did you hear that its all major changes with the Honda dealer network in N.I. next year

What are these changes?
I know Downeys in Ards have lost their Honda Dealership although I have always used Agnews myself, they are supposed to be buliding a new showroom down nearer the docks in Belfast?

only heard of downeys losing their franchise, happened not long after I bought my civic from them. Though they are still approved for servicing

Like me I suppose, still waiting!

......now, that's where a wiper would come in handy, no waiting then!
