Greatings from Holland/ need help...

tippietoppie · 11th May 2007, 10:27

Dear all ,

First my compliments for this site , a lot of info you can find on it !!
I haven't a new Civic , but i'm really thinking to buy one ...today !!!

This is my car history over the past 4 years : Golf 5 FSI / BMW E46 /
Leon FR (old serie ) Altea Sport up / RAV 4 ( new model)/ and now
a Avensis wagon executive 2.0 petrol / automatic / leather ..etc.

Why the Civic ??, first off all , the Avensis is a good car ...but i miss a sporty look & driving , i feel an old men in that car ...and i drive 300 KM's a month and the fuell consumption is very bad ( 1 liter on 7 a 8 KM's)

And the Avensis is too big , i mis a nice compact car with good sporty handlings , and with good interrr. space , well...the civic is the best alternative.

I'm a little bit affraid about the bug's and other problems i've seen on this site of the first production models , the Avensis doesn't have anything to complain.

My question is , can somebody pull me over the "line " and let me now
what the best argument's is for buying the new Civic.

My Civic will be A) 1.8 vivid bleu sport with creme leather or B) 1.8 sport
NHB with no leather

Hello and welcome to the forum, have a look in the user review section, there are many reviews of the civic. BTW cream leather sweet!!!

The Civic will beat the Avensis in pretty much every area, problems with the Civic have mostly been with the earlier models and shouldn't concern you too much. Dealers are generally very good at ironing out any minor faults you may have.

Welcome to the forum my Dutch friend. If you are a boy, go for the NHB. If you are a girl, choice a). But I thoroughly recommend that you buy it. Greetings from a very happy Civic driver from Scotland.

You've just gotta go for the Civic.

What else do you epect on this site?

Spec?

As good as you can afford.

Colour?

Checkout the Gallery here (and end up with Millano)

Anything else will be a dissapointment.

All bugs, if any found are cureable.

Do you want a head turning car, or a car !!!!!!!

Blue with the leather seats sounds good to me

Hi There, buy the Civic

Welcome to the site, got to go with the Civic (Obviously!) Blue with cream leather sounds great, I would go for that one.... buy the Civic

I should'nt worry about problems with the Civic, I would say the large majority have been sorted by now, buy the Civic.

Good luck and buy the Civic
