just hope it never goes wrong, girl I know was quoted £420 for a new wing mirror on her 08 civic!!

that may have been honda prices but I struggled to find even a 2nd hand one for under £200

Same, like most jap cars I just switch off. eg: 'Oh man I used to have an Evo with 800bhp and it was the tits and went sideways and all that jazz' vs 'I have done a little engine work to my old bimmer, it sounds lovely and goes well'

Only one project thread I would click on  :smiley:

Much better car than the MK4 1.8t, better handling, faster, but I agree, not as good on fuel!
Unless you never hit VTEC in that case you wasted your money  :tongue:

Good choice, lovely cars, looks nice, I'd poss try and get some "h" wheel centres, that's bout it though

My dads had his 54 plate one for about 5 ish years now, sailed through every mot, the only things I've had to replace are the front pads.

A mate had one of these but in black and or tho it was nice he said the running costs out ways the good things about it, I think fuel was around the £300 mark and that was before fuel went up...

He now works at a vw dealership and says the best all rounder was the GTD he currently has a company car...performance and eco at the same time!!!

This coming from someone who has also had a Mazda RX8

A car so van-like you've taken all of the photos out of focus to protect us from the true hideousness of it.

Beautifully built, but just stuffed full of meh.
