Can't really comment on the VTi-L price as I bought the Sport.

But as a yard-stick I got my Sport for $30k driveaway in Dyno Blue, genuine mats, front and rear mud-spats and the extra 2 years genuine Honda warranty ... ended up being over $3k in savings off list price with the extras .. thought I did OK, I was pleased with the deal.

As for reviewers giving 3/5 or whatever .. personally I take any of these reviews with a pinch of salt, particularly ones like the Performance Drive one mentioned in an earlier post, any review that quotes the Mazda 3 as "offers a lot more kit" compared to the Civic obviously has some sort of bias toward the Mazda product for whatever reason ? ... or just hasn't spent much time in the Civic ?

When I looked around I found the Civic to be far superior overall to anything else available at this price point (particularly the Mazda 3)... and no, I'm not a Honda fanboy, in fact this is the first Honda Iv'e ever owned.
