General Comments
What can I say, I'm 23 and I've bought the Honda Civic. Fantastic package, superb value for money. I bought the top spec 1.8EX with everything, on a BMW 1 Series this would have cost £30k. Mine was £17.5k ordered via Sainsburys bank. It is cool, it does turn heads, people email me at work to comment! Space is fantastic, dash looks crazy but eveything fits and works perfectly. There is slight overkill on the voice control front, seeing as there are then three ways (voice, knob, via sat nav screen) to do everything. Performance wise I can't fault it, smooth to 4000revs for normal driving, mad beyond that, just toned a toned down Type R. I've had it for two weeks and I can't complain.
