The fog hasn't lifted here all day, it's never got above 1 degree either. Car is frozen.

Picked this up on Friday. She's a V70 D5 automatic but with the added bonus of 4WD. Has all the options inside and comes with a lovely full history. Seems to drive spot on. Originally a UK car but brought to Ireland after 7 months.

I really like it so far.

Nice bus! Horrendous turning circle on them though. Good culchie reg too.

I'd heard they were bad turning circle but remarkably better than an Alfa GTV!


Diesel engine and autobox is a wonderful combination. Heated leather seats are the only job as well. We won't discuss the unfortunate reg either

Had one as a trade in around 10 years ago, drove it around for a while, fitted a patio heater in the back. It's the only vehicle I've ever had to do a 3 point turn coming out the gate of the mothers house. That's including tractors and jeeps.

Who needs to turn in a Volvo when you can go through anything and everything :P

Gratz m8. So I guess you finally matured and went sensible. I wish I could do that.

You put double yellows on your own land?

Here's the Boards introduction to the newest member of the fleet, the winter hack thats pushed the Puglet into semi-retirement. I never really had an intention of actually buying a BMW. I really really really wanted a Saab 93 Aero Coupe (which there just arnt any for sale), or an Iggy Sport (had to be yellow, so again none about). As you can see, I tend to laugh at mainstream. Welllll, long story short, after another 3 hour ordeal in the Pug, even the boise cancelling headphones were no use, I flicked on DD and this wee wagon popped up basically 5 mins from home. I thought the price was wrong, but next morn went down for a look, 15 mins later the deposit was down. I adore hardship, and working for driving thrills, but good god the comfort. Its like stepping out of an 19th century slum into the Ritz. Now I wouldnt enjoy the Ritz, but its worming into me. First trip out was actually up to Dubland for a week with work and got to enjoy a motorway trip for the first time ever. The last 2 days were spent up in Wicklow so taking an unnecessary de-tour into the Sally Gap was a necessity. A fine lump of car, with the only issue being a blown cig-lighter fuse, picked up for peanuts. Even the insurance swap from a 1.1 Pug to a 2L E46 came to the eye wattering total of €00.00!!

Picked this up on the weekend. 2012 2.2 diesel Civic. It's the EX GT model so it has a ton of extras. I'm loving it so far!





Edit. And one of the inside. New mats have already been ordered

Ecomode as far as I know

pippip

Is it just the angle of the photo or would you be nearly feeling up your passenger whenever you use the handbrake?

Graham_B18C

Yeah the green button is for Eco. All it seems to do is change the blue lights on the speedo to green lights! I haven't had any hassle with the handbrake yet, the bolster thing on the seats is quite big so it's grand.

Skylinehead

I have the 3 eco lights on the previous gen Civic, but it just seems to measure how far my foot is planted on the accelerator :pac:

It's a Japanese thing. 350z/Rx8 are the same.

The RX8 handbrake is on the driver's side :P

As most Japanese cars are, however I think in this case they are taking the lazy way out and not bothering to change the handbrake location from the European LHD models.
