yeah i did think that but like you say, you feel obliged to buy it. damn
has it maybe given you second thoughts about a brava now? if you found one closer..as they are good value for money
EG civic ESI. Should able to get a high milage for that price.

it has yeah!
like you say the cheaper civics have higher mileage, but i do like 'em
Sr civics too, i do honestly prefer the hatchbacks..but theres enough of em..so you have lots of choice, but i believe they're expensive to run ? someone can correct me if im wrong..my friends civic(non v-tec) is group 9/10, and my bravo is group 6...virtually same performance...but bravo's go so cheap..

i hate VTR's if im honest...have a look into the 106's? i dont know if any of them are quick..i know the GTI's are...but i bet they are really expensive to run.

why dya hate them though? because nobs drive them?
they're cheap to insure, do 45mpg, cheap to buy and easy to work on.
oh and the handling is 10x better than a punto lol

yeah i've been looking at clio's tried to get my mates off him for what he paid £900, 1.4 16v 2000 mode, has electric everything, air con etc but he wants it till he passes.
looked at a 2001 red punto, 42k 2 lady owner FULL history all MOT's etc, very clean apart from a little scrap on the rear wheel arch. £750 with a full tax and almost full test.
