I have owned a 2007 Civic VTI-L and my mate a 2007 Mazda 3 SP23. The Mazda is so much better than the Honda it is not funny.

I was so impressed I sold the Honda after 6 months and bought a Mazda,...

For some good tips on a haggling a new car price see www.carbuyingtips.com

~$ 34000 (manual) ~$ 36000 (auto)

Ripped off. Used car with 14000 kms for more than RRP of a new one ($21490)!!!

I wouldn't have paid anywhere near that.

I disagree about paint protection. I got it thrown in on my last car (Integra).
The car still looked brand new the day I sold it, and I only washed it about twice a year.

NVH - Noise, vibration and harshness.

ESC/VSA/VSC/DSC/ESP etc - Stability Control

The hatch is 4778mm long, and the sedan a whopping 4844mm, and it weighs in at over 1500kg.

IMHO that is way too big for the medium car segment.

I think you are right.

It wouldn't surprise me if we also see another release of the 2006 Sport edition. That with sat nav would be sweet.

Any word yet on what extras may be available on the next "limited edition" Euro, (apart from the standard GPS)?

Ruby Red Pearl

Quoted for truth.

Oh well, I must just live in an area with a younger demographic.

Anyone ever seen one in the Misty Violet on the street?

I have only ever seen one at the local dealership.

I dont think you can make a sweeping statement about the kms on a car.

A car with over 100,000 kms that has been well maintained, regularly serviced and treated well is a better buy than one that...

Interesting decision to drop a classy colour like ruby red and replace it with a grandpa colour like satellite mist.

They would have been better off replacing the bluish silver with Arctic Blue....

This is a question I have discussed ad nauseum with my cousin who is a motor mechanic, as I was always of the same opinion as you.

It is his belief that the few cents per litre more for 95 or 98...

Probably, but if you have a VTi and want an alarm there are plenty of better ones out there. From what I read in the manual, the alarm in the VTi-L and Sport is pretty basic.

I found another website that may be of assistance to anyone in the market for a new or used car.

I started a thread in the Noob area with a link to a website dedicated to getting the best price possible for a new car.

The website is www.carbuyingtips.com. It is aimed at the American market,...

What? Putting that big Red H on my car hasn't turned my Civic into a JDM Type R??? :eek:

Welcome to the wonderful world of OzHonda Sherwen. Nice ride!!!

I already drive it like that quite often as I have a few hills to negotiate in my area. The problem is that the transmission likes to jump to 5th once you shift from D3 to D, and often "hunts"...

Do you have any tips specific to the SOHC i-VTEC engine?

I know that, so next I will do a proper comparison using 91/95/98 RON over multiple tanks.

BTW I use exactly the same pump set at the same Mobil every time. My point was more that when I had my...

When I decided to buy a new sedan I did a lot of research into a range of cars. I eliminated the Focus and a few others early on in my research for various reasons, such as price, built quality, and...

When you ordered the car in August did the dealer give you an exact delivery date, or just an estimate?

When I bought mine the salesman told me I should have it within a month but wrote a...
