It's about time the new model arrived. The Civic is not what it was in the EG days (shame). This will not stop me from seriously considering the 9th Gen. I have an EG it's a great car, I need something modern (e.g. improved saftey). I've driven the 8th Gen Sport and VTI-L, the 2.0 didn't seem much of a jump over the 1.8 engine wise. At the time I had tested of the BMW 1 Series 120d. The BMW was a better car, I couldn't justify paying the extra, the 8th Gen stood up very well. The 9th Gen VT-L has a good spec for the price combined with Honda reliability and engineering. Have a look at Corolla and see what you get for the price.
