Old owner, new Civic

Tankerman · 27th October 2006, 17:22

Having driven Company Cars for nearly 30 years, mostly of the Escort, Astra, Rover variety, I had lost all interest in cars and driving. The current crop of dull, homogenous, computer designed "euro cars" had no appeal until..........ALONG CAME THE CIVIC!

My enthusiasm returned, this car looked good and the more I read about it the more I realised that this was the car for me. I have been learning much from Civinfo over the past several weeks and would like to thank all of you who have shared your knowledge, experience and even the rare disappointment with the rest of us.

Yesterday I took delivery of a beautiful Royal Blue EX with leather seats and panaramic glass roof, parking sensors, sill garnish and mudgaurds from Howards Honda in Weston-super-Mare. I mentioned Civinfo to my salesman, Simon Harraway and today I see he has joined us. Well done Simon, and thanks for making the whole buying experience so enjoyable.

Welcome Tankerman, my old company car was an avensis, safe and roomy but the diesel lacked any guts. With my civic I'm in heaven

Was that the 114hp or the 148hp one?
