Hey Guys and Gals. Bought my first ever Honda on a 57 plate, its a Honda Civic 2.2 CTDi Sport, with an extra or two, in Milano Red, easily the best colour in my humble opinion. Love the car, goes hard for a diesel, handling not quite in the Focus / Golf bracket but who cares when it looks like it does from the inside and out. Interior is a job to keep dust/fluff free and i have an annoying knock from the fuel tank area when tank is full which gets less and less as the tank empties - until about half a tank and the knock is gone. Other than that, love the car.

Nice car, nice job,..(shame about the football team tho).ha ha

im'e sure the fleet will be expanding on the honda range once you have driven the civic for a while.

Happy motoring my friend,

Very nice

Cheers Matey. I did try the Type S GT, but the ride was bone shaking, had one for the weekend on demo and was happy to send it back. Does the car get quicker as the miles pile on ?

I am sure you will find a difference once you have covered a couple of k miles, the engine will loosen up nicely, and depending on driving styles you will also find your fuel consumption improves too.
Happy motoring my friend.

Thanks for the replies fella's. I did a bit of research on the economy and it doesn't seem too grand to be honest, getting about 38mpg with a mixture of relaxed and 80+mph driving. Yeah, i love the colour. The clutch does seem to bite a tad early. I have nearly 2,000 miles on it already.

Carter es · 9th October 2007, 12:18

I had an ASTRA CDTi ( boo, hiss !!!! ) before this one, dont laugh, it wasn't by choice and no matter how hard i thrashed it and i did cos i hated it, i never dipped lower than 42-44 mpg.
