Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I purchased a new Civic Sport in 2005, sold it 6 months later with being at the age of wanting to swap cars every two minutes, but with current climate wanted a car with the reliabilty again, so back to Honda :).

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Performs as a 1.6 would do. Nippy when you want, not too bad on handling although a decent set of tyres always helps.....
What's it like to park?
Turning circle is poor, so a few 3 point turns

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The only item that has failed in the steering rack - steering went very notchy- wasn't pleasent to drive. Warranty covered a replacement thankfully to the tune of £1,900
What's most practical about your car?
MPG not too bad - around town getting 38mpg and looks cool with standard bodykit.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It has all the standard options A/C, alarm etc .....
