Summary
What does this car say about you?
No sure.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Nice little practical runaround, something you can just use without worrying about it breaking down or giving any problems.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Probably however defiantly not with the optional kit and the rear visibility really is something to think about especially when on motorways as you can't always see whats behind you.
What are you likely to buy next?
Probably another civic diesel or Audi A3 sportback..

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Simply superb, although its only a claimed 130bhp however the torque really gives it plentiful pulling power and overtaking with ease. I would avoid the optional aero body kit though as the car generally sits very low and the front spoiler makes things a whole load worse, even just an average speed bump can be challenging.
What's it like to park?
The headrests and rear spoiler that goes across the rear windscreen makes rear visibility very limited. I'd recommend parking sensors..

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Usually Honda reliability, never missed a beat..
What's most practical about your car?
Multiple way folding seats, huge boot, as there in no spare wheel its really deep. We've travelled as a family of four with luggage, no problems at all..
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control..
