Any Civic Owners Out There?

[VicW]

I am about to buy a Civic and am looking for a good forum to join, any recommendations?
I have searched on line and Civinfo looks not too bad and plenty of USA ones.
I haven't seen anything that looks as good as Clubjazz.

Civinfo is a very good forum for Civic owners. I used it when I owned my 3 Civics over the years

+ 1 for Civinfo - excellent forum. I still pop in from time to time.

What Civic are you buying Vic?

I have been on Civinfo for a few years, it's OK, I found it very helpful when I migrated from Jazz to Civic nearly 5 years ago.
Not quite as 'political' as this forum though, and not so interested in fuel consumption  !

Been on Civinfo for years as well, they are more interested in modding - and the Civic is a car you can mod and get good performance - I would guess the average age on Civinfo is lower than Clubjazz....

Just out of interest Vic, why are you moving to a Civic .....more room, more power or just fancy a change ?

There's also quite an active "detailing" forum on Civinfo.

I reckon he plans to remove the C and I off the name badge and drive around in a Honda Vic.

I am looking for a change. I have owned Jazz's for 14 years, a total of four, two new two used. My son has a Civic and he is selling it, he offered me a good deal so I am going ahead with it. He is taking the Jazz in part-ex and will sell it on when he finds something.
It is a 14 plate ES 1.8 manual with 45K on the clock. It is in excellent nick and is a slate grey in colour. I have found the Jazz to be a good performer if you use the gearbox and the easily available revs but I will relish the increased performance of the 1.8 v-tech engine, fuel consumption isn't something I worry about unless it suddenly drops. I have driven the car on a long road test and as my son is a semi retired garage owner I am confidant in its condition.
Thanks for the reviews of Civinfo everybody.

My last Civic was an 07 plate with the 1.8 engine. Lots of poke. You are right about fuel - if you do a modest mileage it's not a biggie and the Civic isn't overly thirsty.

One thing I am pleased about with the model of Civic that I am getting, it is prior to the 2014 September face lift that introduced the 'Infotainment' system, if the Civic version has as many problems as the version fitted to the Jazz.
