Hello from Manchester!

Hi there, first post so be gentle!

I'm now the proud owner of a '56 Reg 1.8i-VTEC Sport in Galaxy Grey.

Big change for me, downsized from a Volvo S60 2.0T SE - basically changed jobs and doing a lot less motorway miles, decided that the running costs (not to mention environmentals) of the Volvo weren't really justified - so shopped around for what looked like a good deal.

Tried Focus, Astra, Corolla/Auris, Leon and C4 - none of them held a candle to the Civic. Was pretty much decided after test drive of a 1.8 Sport, but carried on looking just to convince myself. Had a final test in a CTDi, but decided the Petrol was for me.

So only had it a week, and have been in bed with cold/flu - so no big outings or photos yet - but will get on it as soon as I can.

Am interested in people's personal experiences of 3rd party Sat-Navs and Bluetooth hands-free kits. Also anyone tried vent-mount phone/sat-nav holders ? I'll have a dig in the forums!

Still only just browsed the forum, but it looks a wonderful place to find real info.

Final thing to say - despite reading some folks having issues with dealers - I can't say a wrong word about mine - very helpful and met all their promises!!!

Hi dazzer , glad your enjoying the car (after the flu)

Who was your dealer, it's always good to find another dealer who lives up too expectations

All you need now is the ciVinfo sticker

The dealer was Arnold Clark - Stockport.

So far so good!

Let's see how they handle servicing and any warranty/maintenance...

Cheers
