Had to take my mums accord in for it's service and she booked a courtesy car. Dropped the accord off and went outside with the keys to the courtesy car and was shown to a new civic 1.7 vtec coupe. Had a bit of fun on the way home init, handeling is mint and accelleration is OK. The VTEC engine is weird though when it kicks in at 6000rpm, it's kinda like a turbo.
Anyway thought I'd share that with you cos I loved it and well thinking of getting a pre-registered one for £11000 but keep the corsa cos that having a valver fitted in summer.
