new to honda civic

jaysen · 20th November 2007, 23:58

Hi All..just purchased my new civic 1.8SE should take delivery in the next few weeks. this was the quickest purchase i have every made, all done on sunday. i was looking at the audi A3 1.6 special edition as this was in my budget & never considered a civic. we was passing my local honda dealer when my partner said thats a nice car. we took a test drive within 20 mins of arriving at the dealer & we both agreed this was the car for us. i own a 54 plate nissan almera 2.2 diesel sxe 136hp. it has all the bits in it including satnav. aircon with climate control & great performance for a diesel, the dealer said the 1.8 has 140hp & should match my nissan, can anyone give me an info to any faults i may come across with my new purchase.

sorry if my wording is a bit gibberish i'm not the best emailer. thanks jaysen

Hey - welcome to CivInfo!

Good 20 minute decision by the way! Mine took 5 days!

Welcome to the forum and what a great choice you`ve made.
The early cars had niggles and a few problems as you will see on the forum but these have all been ironed out now.
We have had our beautiful spaceship since May and touch wood it has been faultless the same as our previous honda cars.
If you`ve forgotten how enjoyable cars can be wait till you get your spaceship and then it will remind you. I must confess I still find excuses to go out just so I can drive my beauty, crazy or what at my wrinkly age.
Good luck with your one and it`s well worth waiting for.

Welcome Jaysen

2 days before I order my Civic I went to an Audi dealer for A3.
1,4 TSI (new motor) with 125 horsepower costs 27.000 euros and has 0-60 in 10,5 sec !!! 1,8 TSI begins from 29,000 . Why so expensive ?
