2012 Civic here in Australia

[euromax]

Ok whatever this is a Civic thread

On that score, I drive the new Civic from Canberra to Sydney and I must say it drives well. Quiet on the inside, cruise comfortably at 110 or 120 kph and has overtaking power.

Bluetooth for hands free mobile phone usage works the same as the Euro which is good.
Can even stream music via bluetooth to the sound system wirelessly.

I think it's a good small car.

to note, I bought mine last week, honda dealer in Perth. picking it up tommorow.

discount best I could get was free floor mats, petrol (givens), about 170 off the rrp price plus $150 off window tints.

I thought they were very hard to press for discounts, but then I met someone yesterday who got a 475 discount via free metallic paint which he haggled - so I felt bad lol.

but still happy - can't wait til finish work tommorow!

really want to stay loyal to honda but i had a look at the 2012 platinum lancer and it looks like good value
only thing i like about the new civic is probably the cluster and the key

[euromax]

I got Window Tint, Civic floor mats, Fog lights, full tank of petrol and NSW premium plates. Could have got fog lights or rear sensors - either. That's because I've been going back to the same dealer for my Hondas.

...2012 platinum lancer and it looks like good value

Problem with that is Lancer needs an update! Has been like that for a while and I dont think the update will be something that "wow" us, since there will be no Evo probably until 2017:

yeah the dash is certainly outdated but exterior still is worth keeping imo

Actually the exterior that put me off more than the interior imo

I thought i was the only one think Hyundai is copying. haha

Did you get anything off the RRP? Im suprised to hear some dealers only give half a tank, how cheap can they get?
