i haven't driven both, but from all the accounts i've read, there is not a big difference no. the main difference is in the torque of the motor, the sport will pull away easier from low revs than the 1.8.Quote:

Something my dealer did that pissed me off..
They covered up the i-Vtec sticker on the back window with their own dealership sticker. >:(
take them off, that's it~
How? It would look ugly if I tried to remove it and it didnt come off fully.
u can ask ur dealer to take it off for u, coz it is their duty to do it
I hate dealer do such thing, my previous car like that as well, the dealer sticker put on the back screen, after drove back home, take it off is my first thing to do for my car, haha
it doesnt have an exact date~Quote:

I ordered my black VTi - L on Saturday. The extra's I got, were the fog lights, the pipe finisher, floor matts and the street legal tinting. They said I wont get the car probaly until January. Is that possible??
Where are u locate and which dealer u ordered from? if they said so, u should require the car should be make by 2007, not late 2006 one. it relate to the better resell price in market for ur car. how much u pay for it? MT or AT? thx for join our waitting list of new civic.
PS: in my case, I ordered blk VTI in MT at $23250 with mat stuff. ordered at this Mid of Jul, hope can get it around this OCT. iam locate at brisbane. cheers~
Yeh they said it will be a 2007 model if I do get it then. Will there be much difference in models??

Im located in Brisbane.

i had to say it coz tynans have those lil badges that piss me off BADLY
Out of the dealers I think Rick Damelian is the best in regards to logos. A few of my friends bought Hondas there and they got no logos on their car except for the license plate holder.
They got the best looking license plate holder too. Its actually a logo, not just block letters saying their name.
I'm in Canberra but the car is coming from Tynan's in Sydney.Quote:

usually the outer. thats easy tho its those lil stick on badges on the apintwork that sh!ts me
so i got a call from honda today, my silver moss vti that i have been waiting on for approximately 4 months does not exist.... therefore now they have decided to just order me the normal silver coloured civic AND it has been delayed another month......
now i am normally a patient guy who would defend honda with most issues, but seriously they cant just change what i ordered to suit them and then delay the order time....
just for reference did anyone else happen have the same thing happen to them?
feel sorry for u man, didnt you call them up every month to check the delivery status?
Why didn't exist?? that BAD service man... u wait 4 months and it didn't exist?Quote:

obviously that dealer don't have ability to hold the stock, maybe they just wait for other dealer stock then get from them, once others don't get any, they have to change what they promise to u, sad story...
if i was u, i will ask them for discount or even refund, coz u got right to do it. hope u can get what u want asap~
or they proomise u a car. but then they are friends with someone n that someone wants your car. so they make an excuss n say. your car isnt here. but give that car to someone else?
just a theory~
btw syljoy. did you get that fax with the engine number n stuff from the dealer?
Dont take that shit, 4 months is crazy, go in and make a scene, dont ask for a refund just demand you get more extras for free they should do it since they are ****ing you up right now. If you arent even getting the colour they promised you and made you wait for then you definitely need a discount on that.
Your dealer really sucks. I got my black Vti in 3 days, and my friend got his Vti silver moss at the same dealer got his in 5 days.
Imagine ur deposit in a normal bank account with 5% interest. you would b making some $$. and they are holding ur $$ for 4 months. thhink about the profits.

haha, interesting dealer, but I hope I am not gonna face dealer like them
yeah. hope so. thats why i traveled all the way to eastwood to get my car.
i even got a better price. also a test drive. they told me. you cant have a test drive ti the weekend. so i thought fair enough. no testdrive. so i came back on the weekend. and still they wont give me a test drive. they said you have to leave a deposit first. was thinking. wtf. and left. the eastwood one was easy going. asked us if we wanted a testdrive. talked about negotiations. that artarmon place really pee'd me off.
ok i went to see my dealer today and all i can say is F*CK YOU PRESTIGE HONDA.... their manager after trying to reason was him had the attitude of "if you dont buy it there are others that will so i dont really care and im not going to give you a discount" this is bullsh*t.....
a suggestion is to buy from those website where u usually put ur details and they will send your details to their negotiated dealer usually your email will go to the fleet department where u can negotiate a cheaper price for your car as they pretend you are a fleet customer.....
when i bought my civic i negotiated everything via email and the buying process was like 10 minutes just to fill out the forms
what sort of price u end up getting and which website thingy was it?Quote:

thats f**ked up man. every dealership i went to looking for my car offered me a drive or game me one straight away wen i asked n im only 18! this includes bmw wen i only went for a perve and to check out a miniQuote:
Originally Posted by TurBIce

thats right dyljoy! Therefore need to work at maccas.
you reckon in there small brains. they think that because the civics are doing well. they only need to sell a few for this month to make quota. then dun need to try n e more til next month.?
ya, I satisfy maccas service then some dealer, hoho.
can't imaging what they look like if act like mac stuff when selling the car
haha last time I was in China I went to the Rolls Royce dealer with a friend, and none of the sales staff standing around said a word towatrds us.Quote:

The Lambourghini dealer was better, they at least acknowledged us.
ya, as a chinese, I admit that's real situation in china, maybe all around the worldQuote:
