new member to the world of the honda civic
Hi Everyone , Ive been a Calibra owner Enthuisiast with a Car club for the last 9 years with owning a redtop 2.0 c20XE for 5 years
and my current 2.5 V6 (188.4 BHP on a Rolling Road) for last four years and its time to leave the nest and so im looking into buying my first honda.
Im Baz and I Live with my GF of 14 years with a Cat and 2 year old Puppy in a rural area and I work for a Computer Software Company of 10 years and Im 35.
Now for the last 6 mths I was looking at changing my car for a ITR DC2 but they are two much out of my price range for the next year so ive been looking into the civic world as I quite like the civic VTi EK4 3door and also the VTI-s 5 door MB6 for the car to replace mine with , ive been looking around and ive found a few in different places and they are in a better cash bracket for me than a ITR.
The main differences from my current car would benefit in quite a few ways
*Engine downsizing from a 2.5 to either a 1.6 VTI /1.8 VTI-VTIS
*Insurance would come down two groups from a 17 to a 15
*I would like to go back to working on 4 pot engine as to a 6 pot (but ive heard Hondas reliability factor has a great impact on this )
*MPG Im averaging on my v6 - 32 on motorways but around 23/24 on busy town roads etc and I would be slightly better apart from times when you want to release the beast VTEC (That’s awesome the sound of that)
*And I would be most interested in coming along to car meets eg shows where there are more than one Japanese make & model of car
Im sure Im doing the right thing by changing my car choice to a Honda from a Vauxhall but it would be great if someone could let me know if there are any bad points for these civics
