Thanks I was going to get the Golf FSI 2.0 or the Leon 2.0 FSI s,
but the options on the civic were much better for the price, the only thing was they couldn't get my colour....neutron blue, so I went for the Royal Blue pearl instead, like it but would have prefered the neutron blue.

Yeah heard about them alright, same body as mine. None available till spring 07 though, same for the hatchback version.

I have to say the coupe style 3dr version of my from japan looks sweet, better than the 3dr hatchback...in my opinion
If you havent seen it check ....

I read that the UK aren't getting the civic saloon, only in hybrid version. Something to do with Irish ones coming from Japan...didn't make much sense to me, its not as if we drive on different side of the road to the UK, which is what the article was pointing at. But anyway I dont care, I have mine

Beautful S Class Niallers... the W220 is just so much more elegant than the new model...

nialler

Yeah Sky

The new one reminds me of the old east german wimmin olypic athletes, stern faced and pumped up through overuse of steroids.

Still though it's got distronic based cruise control which will stop ya, night vision and the rest. I'll see how I get on with this one for the next 6 years before being able to afford the new model.

Jaus nialler you could have at least gone outside and taken the shot!

Demand for saloon cars of this size in the UK is very low. They prefer the hatchback version of these cars. The Civic saloon is built in Japan and the US whereas the 3dr and 5dr hatchback Civic are built in the UK (Swindon) along with the Jazz, Accord and CR-V.

The new Civic saloon is pretty rare over here at the moment too due to only being available as a 1.8 litre and costing around €27k. I hear a 1.4/1.6 version is on the way though for the Irish market.

The Irish seem to like small saloons. I remember when the Vento was released, it was 6 months after Ireland got it before the UK bothered importing it.

Nialler- forget what Mike said. I think the lifestyle stereotype of an S-Class owner makes it acceptable to stay inside in the luxury of the house which is just slightly better than the car.

It's not a quiet as the LS, but my God is it quiet. Shortest 3 hours of my life spent in the back of one a few weeks back


Lafors- that Civic is classy, and I wonder how they managed to prooduce such an ugly8 hatch sibling. A taxi driver in Limerick picked me up one night in the saloon. He just picked it up the week before and was delighted with it. I must say it's a nice car. Does the 6 speed remove a lot of noise at cruising speed?????

I'm far from the stereotype, #3 blade, wear fleeces or tshirts all the time, get some funny looks cos they think I've stolen it, spotted a bloke today about the same age as meself driving one, what was he wearing, shirt and tie, what bothers me though is that Mr Clarkson, Mr May and Mr Hammond all coughed "Merchant Banker" when mentioning the S class, is it that bad?, they said the E was all you needed.

Clarkson drives an SL55 plus his GT, but that's just sex on wheels, Hammond drives a 911 or so we're led to believe and as for Mr May, he walks faster than he drives.

Anyway back on topic I had one pic of my car, and the topic said new pics, so working from home I said f*ckit, not gettin off me fat lazy ar$e, I'll take a piccy with the phone (seems to be the trendy thing to do on this forum) opened a window fired the camera, stuck the bluetooth thingy into the mac and jobs oxo, new pic, sorted.

bit drunk now, season 2 of prison break to watch, have fun!

I have to say i don't like the hatch either, I would like to have seen a hatch version with the same nose as the saloon.

I only have it a few days and I'm delighted aswell. The Gears are wierd...for me anyway coming from a 1.6 focus. I find that I'm turning corners too fast by putting it in 2nd....I give it too much gas....its a bit faster.
I also put it from 2nd to 5th without really noticing, the focus wouldn't be too forgiving for that.
The 6th gear is great for cruising, a fair bit quieter, and hopefully reduce the amount of petrol I using

All in all a great car so far, i haven't found anything bad yet.

Here's my new (to me) bus. When you live 130 miles from the office you need a bit of comfort, and the old Focus wasn't obliging....

It's got leather & wood, cruise control, air con and everything's electric.
It's a bit long though, making multi-stories a bit of a nightmare. I nearly left my front bumper behind in the car park behind Jurys at the IFSC yesterday.

shayser

Very nice JoeA3. What the spec?

JoeA3

Shayser - its blue graphite (a bit rarer, looks spectacular in this sunny weather), manual. 18" alloy upgrade, climate, armrest+iPod, upgraded computer, plus all the usual GTI bits and bobs. Fabulous car, best I've had yet. Goes like stink, handles lovely, feels very solid on the road, if a tad harsh on the bumps!

shayser

The 18s look well. Is the ride very hard? I've got 17s at the mo and it can be bumpy. The stealer was trying to convince me to stay with the 17s!

JoeA3

The ride is hard, but not noticeably harder than my previous car (Audi A3 on 17's). The 18" wheels make all the difference to the looks, no comparison.
