Driving in Some 'Civic' Sense - A Buying and Ownership Review

[lxi.]

Try searching Carwale car valuation on google.
You can enter the details of the car and the prices will be shown according to condition (Good, Bad, Average),etc.

So, KOLEOS?! Or it is on a higher side i.e. Audi, BMW?

thanks yes will look up some online evaluation sites
koleos no chance whatsoever, i wont even consider it - i am looking at the fortuner segment, but in no hurry it might happen by the year end..

LOL! Actually, I have also seen only one KOLEOS on road and didnt liked it.

My uncle also has a Light Blue coloured Civic V MT. I drove it for some 90kms yesterday. The ride was real fun. Straight 3 Lane highway. Top speed was 150kmph! The car was rock stable!
Post some pics of your Civic buddy, Waiting.
tik tok tik tok.

yes Civic is very stable! i have taken mine upto 210 kph and it was starting to wobble at around 200+. get like a Captiva or something.

Thanks Raja, yes civic is my favorite steed and an absolute driving pleasure, always brings a big wide grin when you drive it( if only if were a diesel, there was no chance i would ever let it go). Its in immaculate condition for its age(6 years old now)

This thread has not been complete as it never had enough pics and i am sorry for that, no review is complete with loads of pics, so here you go making some amends(all mobile quality though next time ill do better) :-

 

[allhyundaicars]

amazing. there's not even a scratch

and some pics including interiors(sorry lxi/appu i dont know why it took me forever to click this )

amazing. there's not even a scratch , i assume you did denting painting of the car recently ?

Thank you, and if you can believe it i dont have a single rattle or squeak! The original 2006 hondas i am told were even better built(or so is the folklore)
it has very minor scratches though but for its age its immaculate inside out! Its at 77K odd now!

Wow,you are really master at maintaining the cars buddy.
Do you give them washes etc yourself?

BTW,for how much you got this deal?

Secondly,I have read in this thread that you want to sell this car off.
My question:Why to sell such gem of a car for a crappy truck?

 

[allhyundaicars]

The car is bound to have some minor scratches
seriously , you have maintained it very well.

i had a 2001 santro which i sold it in 2009 , 8 years and there were minor scratches , that car was well maintained , and only driven by my dad , it had covered 90000kms.

i wish i had some pics [:(]

we sold it for 1,20,000 after 8 years , a santro , so you can imagine the condition

Very nice review. I completely agree with views.

BTW, I bought Civic on the day it was launched (got the delivery after one month) in July/August 2006.

I have driven 67000 kms so far and it still feels new. :)

Thank you my young friend
I have a lieutenant who does the duty every morning, plus weekends i clean myself and wax occasionally. Once a year if the car behaves well i treat them with a polish/3m kind of luxury.

well regarding selling it, its a heart vs head thing, i have regular travel to some rural places and put my drives through some really bad roads including no road sometimes, it breaks my heart to put the civic through that though off late i have stopped that completely( even though the civic is built well to take the beating, but you get such a guilty feeling doing it ).

also for the amount of driving i do a diesel makes more sense and road characteristics demand for a suv, though i have the XUV i am thinking of replacing civic with a 'truck'

yes thank you there is nothing more ego boosting than watching your old beauty gleam in front of you, we do have a history of maintaining our cars well ( and yes i am not a parsi ).

Wow you seem like a Hyundai fan, thats steady upgrade of Hyundai cars, what next a sonata or the new santa fe?

we have had a lot (including family and company owned, its somewhere in my introduction thread) but now i own a XUV 5OO, Civic, Sumo, 475DI mahindra tractor and a old kawasaki 4s somewhere.
