Dude,

With 1.5 Citys available here, I dont see any reason why you ought to go for a second hand Civic. Not only will it be much older (read more time on the roads), but the Civic you will get should be an early 90's example...a full generation older than the Honda City. Plus theres too many hassles with imports such as paperwork, insurance, history behind the car etc.

My suggestion is to pick up a City 1.5 or a Palio 1.6. You should be able to source one with full documentation and get it checked from a pro to ascertain no accidental damages.

The only con you have listed is that everyone has one. So what? Modify it, dress it up with some neat body kit and paint it blood red. You will have a head-turner with that much more exclusivity.

Maintaining these will be a pleasure as compared to the pain with an import. Parts are available off the shelf and with the customisation market opening up so very much, the only limit to how fast you want to go is the size of your wallet.
