Hello from Vic, Just bought a 2012/13 Honda Civic VTI-LN Hatch today!

Just a shout out from a long time Honda fan, used to have an account here years ago with pics of my then new Accord Euro Luxury 05, now I am back finally with a new Honda and lovin it! Couldn't be happier with my new Milano Red Civic hatchback, its smooth, steady, and quality throughout and the best thing is it doesn't feel like a step down from the Euro because Honda were smart enough to bring out a model with Leather Seats/Trim, Heated Seats, Heated Mirrors, Bluetooth, Ipod Connectivity etc etc. The 17 inch rims with low profile tyres look nice too, heres to many years driving ahead!

That's about it, just here to say hello and maybe post a few pics up! Btw I picked it up today ;)

Thx, like I said in my post it doesn't feel like a downgrade really, yeah its a cheaper model by 10k or so but it still has Leather seats/trim, heated seats and mirrors, full array of airbags, bluetooth, USB connectitivity etc etc. That's the best thing about the range of new Civics, like other makes of car you have a choice, and since they pretty much have a luxury/civic hatch now it didn't really feel like a step in the wrong direction! Plus I have gained Bluetooth, USB, Heated Mirrors, Reverse Camera and 4-5k litres of fuel per 100k's, 5 star ANCAP rating (I have a 4 year old girl too). And for a smaller car it has just as much room inside if not more than the 05 Euro I traded in, plus unlike most hatches it actually has a boot, plus of course the seats fold down flat. For me it was a smart choice!

Thanks everyone else for their welcome too, its great to be back :)
