I remember in school trying to convince my dad to let me buy one after top gear did an episode when they visited that Ex-mod place that sells that kind of thing off lol. Used to be able to get one of the wee personal carriers for about 5k, used to love scrolling through the stock.

A lot of them got bought up in 22/23 by private groups to send to Ukraine.

Anyone know much about these as a sensible and fairly fresh family car? Not exciting, but should be reliable, safe and economical?

I had one with the same engine and spec.
Ran on the smell of diesel and never gave any trouble other than a leaky air con condenser, which was replaced under warranty by Honda.

I’d avoid the ones with the panoramic glass roof. Mine never leaked or anything but it did make an annoying ticking sound.

Don’t know about the diesels but I was going to go to Dungannon Honda to look at a 1.0 vtec turbo and when I googled reviews they seemed to have a lot of problems.

I think the problem wit the small displacement turbo petrols is that they’re constantly revved to death and often poorly maintained.

The Honda 1.0 turbo would probably be the most reliable one of the bunch (with the Ford Ecoboost probably being the worst) but may still give bother if ragged from cold and not meticulously maintained using the right oil etc.

We have a 2014 civic, the previous model but the same engine. It just works, and on a run will do 70mpg, and high 50s around town.

I prefer the older shape tbh, especially the estate but the fresher car with more tech and comforts would be better

I had MK9 tourer before buying the MK10 and was also a very good car.
The interior on the MK10 is a huge leap forward mind you.

It was Parker’s that put me off a civic I was very surprised if there was issues given it’s a Honda.

thats a lovely colour combination.

Did they even say if the service book was stamped? You can stick in the VIN and reg on the Land Rover website and lookup the history work they have done.
