Hi from Finland - Civic 4D Executive

JuhaR · 3rd January 2007, 07:48

Hi,

Yesterday I finally got my long waited (1 year!) executive AT Civic. Its color is neutron blue metallic. Unfortunately weather was not so good when I took the photo below.

Car feels excellent. Only downside this far is the location of the handbrake...I'm quite tall (190cm) and side of my knee rests against top (and side) of the handbrake. I think I'll need to find some sort of cushion on top of the handbrake. Any advise with this issue is welcome

Regards,

Juha

Hello and tervetuloa!

Advice on the handbrake issue? Hmm, let's see. Sell your car and buy a 5-door version instead.

Thank's Copycat, but since I really wanted true automatic transmission, your suggestion is not an option.

Anyway, strange that I didn't notice that handbrake thing when I tested the car about year ago. Perhaps it's because I didn't take it to long enough ride.

Hopefully I'll manage to make good looking cushion to it...I wouldn't like it to look like a leather condom or something...

Maybe you can adjust your seat, perhaps lower it some more? I mean if you only got it yesterday, you might have been too excited and forgot.

Nice colour, it really suits it. I've only ever seen the 4 door in grey on the road. The london metropolitan police have bought loads of the hybrid as comunity support vehicles all in grey!
