Honda Car Forum

I am about order my new car and have decided on a Civic sport.I will be spending about £16,000 and have had a great deal of trouble concluding what to buy

Nah Vdubs all the way...you just can't test their german engineering.

I would agree that a Honda is an EXCELLENT car, I've owned 4 in my life and they have always been good to me. I've had a CRX, Accord, Civic and now have an Acura (same as Honda).

Well I was very 'anti' Japanese cars until I inherited a Honda Civic (old version) and I found it to be fantastic. The New Honda VTEC engine has been described by Jeremy Clarkson as the best engine in the world. I would agree.Yes VW has a good reputation and I have owed them also for many years - but now, for me - go for the new Civic. Enjoy.

well golfs suck in automatic, those germans could never get it right, other than that they're very reliable. the honda civic gets better gas mileage. unless you get the golf tdi (diesel) that gets like 3 times the amount of mileage than the civic, but you may have trouble starting it in winter, i dont know how cold, if it all, your winters get. besides that i would call insurance comapre quotes, and see whats more affordable for you. also if they come out to being the same price, more or less, just choose which suits you best. or which you like best (personally i like the vw, damn nice!)

I bot the '06 Civic. I compared it to the Jetta and went with the Honda due to price, reported reliability and resale values. The Golf is a hatchback and the Civic is a sedan. If you like space to carry stuff, the Golf is better.

Both fantastic cars but you pay way over the odds for a really good Golf. As a Lexus driver I would put my money on the Jap cars everytime. The Civic is fantastic in every engine size and style. If you are thinking of buying a car of this type have you checked out the Focus? It is the best in this class and beats the stupid BMW1 hands down too!

yes , it s an alternative ...

VW is shit compared to honda. dont even conmpare them! vw wont last. honda will

Good buy imo!I have a Honda Civic Vtec and its a fantastic car, very reliable and pokey when needed.
