Welcome to the Civic club. Its raining used Civic's in TBHP.

Drive safe.

Deal looks pretty good. So soon clutch got worn out? Surprising!

Looks like the seats have been converted into balloons by Stanley. Same thing happened to a friend's Palio and he had to get rid of them after a couple of months due to back pain.

Unfortunately I had to do that. Most likely the previous owner was riding clutch too much. When I took the car for a checkup (before buying) the Honda dealer told me the clutch work is pending as it is worn out (Most likely due to bad driving habits, clutch riding).

Hi Hassanks !

Great looking car ! Huh ! What's the milage/litre ? Which dealer you bought from ?

I saw a Aug-06 S-model today with few scratches and 45000 run with a asking price of 8.75L. Tyres look good for another 10K kms and the 5th one is bald ! I intend to to put an offer at 7L. Any advice much appreciated.

It's been over a year that you've had the Civic - how about a comparo with the Laura TSI? Pros and cons of each (including servicing needs & experiences) etc. Would be interesting to get an owner's unbiased perspective.
