Took the Civic out for a spin and it was better than I had expected. First gear is not that lively but then when you have on around 8,000 rev’s the rest of the gears change in blistering succession. Even more impressive was the stopping power. With my girlfriend on board and the fact it was not my car I was not as energetic as I would have been on my own but even so what a great car. It had a nice set of manners around town but then quickly picked up the pace on the open road. The ride is very firm but at 120 in sixth gear the noise level was more than acceptable. The problem is the car’s power at 120 is at the top end of third gear and it squeals with delight as you power up into the next gear. Overall great drive and in the words of Will Smith “I goto get me one of these”.
The builders have started on preparing for the plastering and have already removed the old window and made most of the replacement not bad going for day one!
