Any Real World Sightings?

Apart from those rare few lucky enough to have taken delivery, has anyone actually seen any new model Civic's out on the road? Apart from outside dealership, I'm still waiting to see one out in the real world.

just seen a nice blue one in Eastbourne.
could have the demo model as that was the colour of the one in the showroom.
I saw a blue one this afternoon. Not sure if it’s the same one I saw back in December, looked great!

When you’re sat in one, you don’t get to see how nice it looks! 😀
I saw a blue one on Sunday at 1am filling up at Tesco Colney Hatch (North London).
Thought I'd finally seen one.... but it had the dealer stickers on, was their demo car... doesn't count.

When I finally see another I expect lightning to strike the road between us!
See one regularly, as my PCP deal for my Mk10 was up, so I decided to twist rather than stick
Saw two more yesterday evening. Red one on the M6,Fort Dunlop stretch. Then saw a Grey one heading towards Leighton Buzzard, Beds. Couldn't make out which trim either was - was over too soon in both cases.

That makes 6 for me so far (inc one in MK dealership). If the figure of only 300 in the UK is correct, then I've seen 2% of them now!

I have saw one bright blue type r in Perth a couple of weeks ago. Looked really nice , tho not sure about that spoiler !

Hopefully see more of them the Honda e ! (2)
Saw a white sport in peebles this morning, and my first fl5 type r yesterday also in peebles. Hondas seem very popular in that area, I guess it helps that they have a dealer in peebles.
Just returned from Tesco car park in Dunfermline. Couldn’t believe my eyes, there was another blue advance parked just a few spaces from my blue advance. I was tempted to park next to it get a photo, but preferred just to get home.
I spotted my first one (Sport) today in Wisbech in Cambridgeshire on a 23 plate in blue. Looked very nice.

My dealership have just informed me my delivery has now moved from September 2023 to possibly early 2024. Gradually giving up hope, but will wait.

A 23 plate - now that will be a rare beast
I saw a grey Sport in Asda car park in Dalgetty Bay. It had a different number plate to the demonstrator grey Sport I drove at Dunfermline dealership. Had to park next to it and get a pic...

I nipped into the dealership earlier because that stupid RDMS system decided to switch itself off yesterday - it switched itself back on about two hours later and they reckon that the Civic are starting to dribble through

They might not be such a rare beast shortly

When I ordered mine a hundred years ago I couldn't decide between blue and grey, eventually went with the blue. Looking at your picture I made the right choice.

Nah, for me, the grey works better…at least for the Sport grade.
I'd have ordered grey simply because any chips don't stand out pending touchup with the light grey undercoat.
The blue looks the best but I ordered grey because I love that green pearl effect in the sun, and although the blue is even nicer, I didn't feel it is worth 875 quid more to me. If they were the same price, I might have gone with blue. Especially having now seen a few in person, the blue truly does glow as someone else put it.

Anyway, on topic I saw a grey one near cannock chase on Sunday but it was only an elegance grade.

An "elegance"? - they're going to be rare!
One running around local to me now, seen it a few times. Not sure how to spot which grade they are though.

The discontinued Elegance doesn’t have fog lamps. The Advance has a panoramic roof. Anything else is a Sport.
