soccermom 0 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 A civic is a good shout though that a hatch? hatchback is good, room for all the shopping too you had one? I'm a wee bit quirky tho, kinda was looking for something that reflects that. Is the civic not bit, and i don't mean to upset anyone here, middle aged for me?

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Speaking from experience, three in the back would be a bit tight in a Civic. They're good cars, as long as you don't have to deal with the main dealers or their customer care department who are useless, useless cunts. I would never have another Honda product due to their ineptitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6579 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Actually if you go down the VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat route and you're looking at a diesel. Make sure it's the newer common-rail diesel and not the older pump diesel. I've currently got an A3 with the pump diesel and it needs topping up with oil as regularly as every 3,000 miles. RAC bloke I was chatting to said it's not a fault with the engine, it's like that by design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Operator 10 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Lexus IS200 - there's a few nice examples on autotrader for 5k, nearly traded in my people carrier last week for one, still might at the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
