Honda Civic Hatchback (2006 - 2011) 1.8 i-VTEC Type S GT 3d (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I hate to stereotype cars, but Civics aint what they used to be, still reliable and bullet proof, but now with style and design cues which make this a very individual and stylish buy. Which is why everyones got one..

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

Everyone loves it, it just gets on with the job easily and effciently.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Without doubt, can easily forgive the rear view all day long. At last I have a car that feels good, and will work whenever I want it to.

What are you likely to buy next?

Honda again, very interested to see what the next generation Civic is like.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£12,500

When did you buy the car?

March 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, exactly the car I wanted within my budget.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Reliability, looks, quality.

What was the dealer like?

Cool. Really, no pressure, relaxed, ball was in my court all the way, in fact I was the pushy one. Maybe dealers are learning?

What's it like to drive?

Easy, the little lightweight Civic is agile, and very responsive.

What's it like to park?

Hmm, I have given up reversing, thick pillars and the spoiler on the boot restrict your view a lot.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing, a little rattle from the passenger head rest. Life is good. :)

What's most practical about your car?

Big boot, brilliant way the seats fold, under floor storage in boot perfect for things you wont use everyday. Big heated or chilled glovebox, fits anything in it. Big center armrest box, its square so all CD's fit in exactly right.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Dual Climate is good, love the easy to use and read computer for fuel consumption etc..,
