Honda Civic VTI-L

I think it looks nice and has plenty of character/personality. It was actually my 2nd preference after Black.

You tossing up between VTi-L and Sport model? I think there's alot more to it than just the colour! The extra $5k gets you leather, sunroof, indicators built into side-mirrors, exhaust tips, and of course, a slightly better engine with paddleshift. If you were gonna go for the Sport- get it for the right reasons :) I'm pretty sure you can get a VTi-L in Red too.

Thanks, for your comment, I'm changing to sport because I'm tired of waiting for my vtiL (already two months), they got this civic red demo sport in stock. So i'll just add another $3000 for swapping.

$3k more for the demo model Sport (auto)? That's a pretty good deal IMO.

yeah, sport auto. I'll go have a look tomorrow, then I'll decide. Still prefer black :(

my family has a EURO in the same color and imho its a really old and conservative color that makes ur car look more like a shopping trolley than nething.

It doesnt shine well (even after waxing), its not aggressive in any sense, its not a sporty red and the color usually is found on beanies worn by old men.

(sorry to be blunt)

lol, I agree.

just wait and dont get the red one man... or u'll be starting a thread in 2 months time called

"CIVIC 2006 RESPRAY COSTS?"

LOL...

I agree- red is hard to maintain. Although if you do it right, it can still look fantastic. My Mum's jag has been waxed and polished many times to maintain it's redness and my cousin's BMW managed to stay that perfect red with a lot of care... but, our other red cars (in the past) have faded from being that brilliant looking red to a rather dull colour.

ps. I still think it looks nice- has a lot more character than say, silver or white (which are rather generic imo).

Its up to you, but man that car you're talking about has over 7000km on it, no doubt being driven very hard as well. If you can get them to knock off another grand or two then go for it.

Do you know which dealer its at? If its a dealer that just gives you the car for a test drive without going with you then it would've been thrashed since day one without a proper running in period, you need to take that into account as well.

agree.. having to top up $3k for the sport, is just a $2k discount off the NEW sports model.. i would check the sales agreement, if the dealer had promised a particular delivery date, and have failed to delivery the promise, i will discuss about cancelling the sales agreement with them... and.. get them to provide u a free demo car while u are waiting for yours ;)

Hmm... doubt they'd do that when the demand for new civic is so high. If it's got 7k KM then that's a pretty extensively used demo car! I was under the impression (misread your post I suppose) that it was <200km or so.

Thanks eveyrone comments, I manage to get another $1500 off.

So i'll just add $1500 ontop on $28300
