Proud new owner

Hi folks. Just popped in to say hello and introduce myself.

I have had my 2.2 EX for a few weeks now from new and loving it.

I changed my 03 Cooper S for the Honda so am missing the chuckablility of the Mini but that is about all. I'm loving all my gadgets!

I started posting on the CTR forum as I wasn't aware of a new Civic forum. It's great to have a source for any questions I might have.

Keep an eye out for my if you are in the East of Scotland.

Welcome Bull.

And happy motoring in your new baby. Don't forget to post pics - there aren't many of blue Civics in the gallery.

Hi Bull, welcome to the club.

Like you, I swapped my Mini Cooper S Works for my Civic Ex. I miss it terribly but love my Civic for lots of other reasons. Pity we couldn't keep both, eh

Absolutely. The arrival of my little boy spelt the end of the Mini. I'll have another one day though. Probably a works as well!

I swapped my Mini for my new Civic, although it wasnt a show-off Works version

I was sad to see her go and, likewise, wish I could've kept her too. But Civics are cool too I've found.

Enjoy your car.

Ha ha, bet you wished it was though

Like you I didn't have a Works, just a standard 03 163bhp(some say it was more like 175) standard Cooper S. They are cracking little cars and great for ***** and giggles.

I went for a Civic for a load of reasons.

1. They are so different to the rest of the pack of small family cars like golfs, Focuses and the rest. The Leon is a bit different but that interior is SOOOO dull.

2. The interior.

3. The engine, it's a cracker.

4. The amount of kit you get as standard on the EX. My company pay 80% of the car but I pay for any extras so I wanted a car that came loaded.

5. Finally, it's a Honda. I just love the image and reputation. You get Jap bulletproof reliability and innovation. I love the Civic!
