Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I start work in the early hours and wanted a reliable car , Honda's reliability is second to none, with this car I got reliability, economy, and performance and I find no faults with it I am delighted with it, I cannot understand Parker's criticism of this car , there is no problem seeing out the rear window I am 5ft 10 which is average height , in the orevious model vision was not as good.

What was the dealer like?

1st class as they always are with me.

What's it like to drive?

I look forward to driving my civic every day, i am a professional driver so I know what real driving is, I love the experience driving this car and again I must say that whoever reviewed this model for Parkers is either a midget ( can't see out back) or really does not have a clue , to say a golf or focus is a better car is ridiculous.

Even without using the camera the car parks easily with good all round vision.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The only time I had to return to the dealer was to find out about things I was not sure about.

Economy with performance.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Blue tooth which is completely hands free my phone stays in my pocket, the reversing camera is new to me and it is an excellent aid for tight spaces.
