I have been driving a modified white civic since I was 17. The gaurds never gave me any hassle. As long as you dont hang out the window as your driving along you will be grand. If you do get stopped just chat to the gaurds and they tend to be a lot nicer. I'm now 19 and driving a type r integra and haven't got any hassle at all.

I would say avoid donning a track suit and a backwards peek cap when driving and you'll probably be fine, I had a prelude vtec before with the big alloys and stuff (bought it that way) and was never stopped.

This is true! Im 25 this year and last year it was quite difficult to get insured, St.Pauls quoted me €770 and i bit their hand off for it!

Sorry to go off topic but...

I'm with quinn at the moment, if I rang them and said Im after buying this car and to transfer the insurance from the civic to the integra, would they have to transfer the insurance?

Yeah they will quote you I reckon, I drive a Teg too and I was 22 when I insured it, I could get quotes from 2 places but they were both for the UK model.

They will rape you come renewal time

It is, and its more common on imports than UKDM models from what I've seen also. My car's not Japanese but the same still seems to apply to the PSNI/border area Guards!

It's the national racing colour, Japanese Championship White. Comes from the white in their national flag. Same principle as British Racing Green (which comes from the time Ireland was in the UK).

But I have an honest question.

I'm in love with Civic's and have been offered one at a good enough price.

It's not the top end model as in it doesn't stick out when driving.

If I got it and was driving it normally do you think the guards would give me much hassle?

All the stories I hear about these cars is that the guards torment the drivers.

If I have everything up to scratch, do you think the guards will keep pulling me in and stereotyping me because of the car?

Thanks.

What stories, thats all hearsay, 3rd party speculation

If you commit an offence and it is witnessed by a Police Officer why shouldnt you be stopped.

Just dont speed and obey the rules of the road.

Keep your car taxed and insured and you will have nothing to worry about.

There is no harrassment to my knowledge of people who drive Honda Civics
