[JPM]

Current got a Civic Type R, had one for 3 years from new, never missed a beat, had in Integra Type R before that, if you want reliability etc it's got to be Honda, the Civic isn't a patch on the Integra for sheer fun, but the Civic gives you a good all round compromise good round town and fast when needed, I'm getting around 35mpg on a good run, but probably be selling this soon to buy a van

I know a couple of guys who've had various scoobies, damn good cars, but servicing a running costs are sky high, you're talking 500 quid per service on one of those and probably 20mpg, whereas my last service 3 yr/36,000 mile plus MOT was £230!

Civic isn't great on front tyres (if pushed) saying that a scooby will be chewing through all 4 I guess.

Good thing for me is that prices have stayed fairly high due to being the hatch to have for a few years, whereas scoobies seem to have dropped as new models etc come out at the bat of an eyelid.
