I have bought a Civic, an 07 1.8 SE i-Shift. It is in excellent nick with 70K miles, only two lady owners and a full service record. There is no record of the longer term items like coolant or transmission oil being changed but that is quite common, workshops don't look that far in the book including Honda dealers. The transmission oil is being changed
tomorrow at a Honda dealer so the car will get its customary 'safety check' looking for work.
The i-Shift transmission is not as bad as I have heard, when warmed up it changes gear smoothly, a bit like a driver changing gear manually, yes you are aware of every change but it's not intrusive. The car is quick as it's a 1.8.
It has a space saver spare wheel but the stowage is big enough for a full size wheel so I am getting a steel wheel as a spare and putting the one odd tyre out of the four on that, replaced by a matching new one. Oddly it doesn't have a security wheel nut but five normal nuts, nobody steels alloy wheels any more, do they?
Vic.
