Default New car

Well we needed a newre car was not over impressed with the economy of the civic 2.2 around 30 mpg at best, had all the toys,drove really nice but there was paint issues, seats that did not stay up at the back,bad fitment of plastic trim,hand brake that you needed to pull to the roof lining. What should we buy,oh" go on then lets look at a civic then.I know but for the money there really is nothing else out there that rocks our boat other than a Golf and there is nothing in one and 30k Just don't look like value for money,So here is the new motor 6 months old with 3k on the clock .Just got back from a 1200 mile run and its very much better than I thought it would be so much nicer than my last Type R may not be as fast but i think there is very little if any in it, the finish is really good the back seats have space under them the boot caires a load going around a country lane is great fun the engine pulls all the way to 140 and and upto 158 gear change is sweet,so far a very nice purchase.

I shall try to get a few nicer pics asap cheers Burnie.
