What does this car say about you?

Don't know.

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

Like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely yes! It's my second Honda and I love the reliability and refinement. Also looks very good too, could only have the exhausts from the previous generation. Very economical and practical on top.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Honda.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£17,300

When did you buy the car?

February 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Half price spare wheel, decent price for the old car and free first service (due in 1k miles).

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I had to be a Honda and new Civic looks great!

What was the dealer like?

Good, can't complain.

What's it like to drive?

A pleasure. Very smooth, quiet and relaxing on low revs, lively and fast on high revs. Good in corners, too!

What's it like to park?

Easy, especially there is back camera on board. Front shorter than it seems.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing, but it only has 25k done so far. 1.8 petrol engine without turbo or other bells and whistles so I expect it to last for the years to come.

What's most practical about your car?

Good size boot, 'magic seats'.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Great audio with built in HDD, USB socket (can charge phone or plug in memory stick with music), auto lights, reverse camera.
