Honda Civic 8th Gen VTi-L 2006-2011 $12,500 - $23,800 Rating: 5.00 / 5

In response to the query raised about this car, please let me state the following:

Our car was bought new in August 2007 and has completed approximately 46Ks of trouble-free motoring. We have had it serviced by the book at Honda dealers at 10K intervals. I think they recommend every 6 months which we have found to be unnecessary and an extra cost.
Have found the cost of servicing to be reasonable.
The car was bought for specifically for our baby (at the time) where we needed a practical car immediately. The car is very spacious inside and has a large, spacious boot.
The car is reasonably economical around the city (ie around 30mpg) and about 45 mpg on the open road at legal speeds. It revs under 2,000 rpm on the open road at 100 kmh. The 5th gear is very handy.It is quiet in the cabin at highway speeds, too.
It would be good to have more torque for city use and sometimes the steering feels a little unresponsive (ie vague)
The appearance of the car is still pretty smart and has dated gracefully.
For the money, I think that the car represents value. The gent requesting the review has seen a 2007 model for $14. This appears pretty cheap. Needless to say, ensure that it's servicing is up to date. ie adhere to all the standard prequisites before considering the purchase.
We have taken pride in our car, which is reflected in its appearance and service record.
The car does not have any rattles or squeaks and nothing has fallen off or broken. It still feels pretty new. (again, we have looked after it).
I hope readers find this helpful. Am willing to assist with any other queries.
