check out the civic, if they sell the hybrid over there check it out.

civic's have a smooth ride(almost as good as a scooby ;-D), and they're really quiet (i could barely hear the engine on the hybrid)

if ur just drivin around, chillin and whatever, a civic has enough room in it for 4 people (5 if one is really skinny) and for a couple 10's and 12's in the back (yes, i am one of those guys that drives around and you can feel my music).

Ended up buying the previous shape Civic in 1.6 LSi Coupe form running nice 17's. Its not a vtec unfortunately, as the insurance went mental when i got quote for one. So I'm pretty happy with it - FSH, 82K, some mods, excellent condition, full electrics - how much? a mere 2K!! Superb!! The Punto sucked big time in comparison to this one.

Alright mate,

its a 96 new shape. Its pretty blood good for its year, few little touch ups to do (oo-er) like 2 tyres, and no alot else.

I saw a few older shape coupes, and the 4 doors and thought this would be right ugly, which although its not a prom queen, shes no dog either. Fitted with HKS induction as well.

So I'm happy - spent over £200 on bits and bobs for Halfords (even got a bloody Haynes manual!!!! - what a novelty hehe!!).

I just picked up a 306 xsi on a P with 56K for under £3k, well I swapped it for my 306 DTurbo as it was a dog.
