hahaha, Tom, Much as I'd like my winter ride to be a G, I'm going to have to 'make do' with the new Civic.

LOL, if's got a couple features on it that the G doesn't:

-combination key and fob (the button are in the key handle).
-a maintenance minder with display to keep track of oil and other items.
-and imagine, a 5 spd. auto in a cheap civic!

this ride 'aint no G', but it's not bad for a 'winter beater'.

Deane, It just wasn't 'working' for me......without ABS, brake distribution, side impact and speed sensitive airbags, I just didn't feel safe in it.
The lure of some decent features and a 5 spd auto was enough for me to step up.
Only had it a week and haven't taken many pics yet but here's a few including the one the day I picked her up.

Here's a new thread to cover my Civic. I didn't want to hijack Shane's thread any more than I already have.....

It's an '06 4 dr. 1.8 liter, 140 hp 5pd. in 'Appolo Red Pearl', with Grey intereior.

It's an EX so it gets the sunroof, 4 wheel disks, a decent stereo with steering wheel controls no less!, all 'round updated airbags (as in all of Honda's rides), and a host of neat gizmos.......and I'm back in a red ride. I've missed red since my '03 G-Sedan, so now I've satisfied that lust.

What I spend on gas for the M (about 25-30 mpg's, actual), I can make up in the Civic (rated at 50 mpg's. )

My first ever Honda.....and it's an impressive one.

More later.

Colin

Nice ride Colin and nice colour too. You're going to really enjoy that. I haven't driven one yet but I have a Honda dealer as a client and see a lot of them. We've owned a civic, prelude and an Acura TL. I've also had 3 Honda motorcycles and 2 Honda ATV's so you know I like them.

You change cars as much as I change socks.

Hey Manbir, Along with the M-45, I had a Solara for winter. The Solara got traded for a 'Rolla late last year, which now has been traded for a Civic.
No the M isn't going anywhere......just the backup vehicle has changed.....
