Honda Civic Hatchback (2006 - 2011) 1.8 i-VTEC ES 5d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Fierce and sporty!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They think it's worth the money but we all know that cars can be slightly overpriced!

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would probably buy a different model such as the Type S or Type R

What are you likely to buy next?

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Honda or Toyota. They are fantastic cars

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£12,995

When did you buy the car?

September 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

We got some rear parking sensors thrown in and 6 months road tax

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

We bought this as a second car and we chose it because it looked very appealing and sporty

What was the dealer like?

The experience was ok

What's it like to drive?

This 1.8 exudes power! Holds the road very well and no problems overtaking

What's it like to park?

I have to say this car is tricky to park because it's quite wide and the rear view isn't very good because the spoiler is in the way

Have you had any problems with the car?

The car started creaking slightly when going over bumps or pot holes. It needed a bump stop which the dealer fixed under warranty. No other problems since then touch wood!

What's most practical about your car?

It's just very comfortable inside and we got what we paid for.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The spaceship looking dash! The spoiler looks good on the outside but it affects your driving when overtaking or parking because it partially blocks your view :-S It doesn't help that there's no rear windscreen wiper. Apparently the car was designed so the rear windscreen could clean itself :-S
