Dunno if I'd bother spending any money on that kind of car, but I must say it looks like a really decent cheap runaround -good buy if it proves to be reliablePic of my very cheap banger 52 plate Kia Mentor 1.6 LX

The car is a really decent runabout, the last owner being an old couple proper looked after it with full service history ect.
When i first bought it a lot of my pals said god you've bought an old Kia & just laughed, until they drove it and found it to be quite decent, it even better now since i put the new wheels and tyres on it.
Also feature wise it comes with full front and rear electric windows, air con, central locking, imoblizer, electric sunroof, eletric mirrors, superb heater, 6 speaker setup, can take either a single or double din CD unit, it very decent on juice, seating super comfy ect ect.
Basically for less than £900 and only 53k on the clock, the car in my book is a bargain, ok it not aimed at petrol heads & no doudt they will hate it, but to me it does the job and the engine while not the best for a 1.6i 16v is very reliable & hardly much goes wrong with them.

Thanks for the insight Got a friend looking for a cheap car and I'll be sure to recommend it. Do you have any MPG figures for it?

Mpg is about 35 to 40 urban depending on how you drive it.

WTF, how did you get that colour on the CTR? I thought they only did that in a couple of European countries?
Dunno if I like it or not, but it's certainly different.

I'm with him! (ooer!).
Lovely colour for a civic! However, being posted after the mustang it looks like.... a civic. shame, as it would look nicer if i didnt see the mustang first

We have offered that as a colour choice since 09/10
Few pics after I gave it a wash, was filthy!

Thanks again - I'll check it out for her
I disagree. The Z3 came in Coupe form too.
I fail to see how it "goes against the purpose" if it's a coupe.
So all 2 seater sports cars have to be convertibles?
Anyway, that Z4 looks brilliant. Sorely want a Z4 M Coupe to replace the Z3 one day..

Thanks for all the +ve remarks on the Civic - everyone seems to say the same thing about it - hoping it will mean it will hold its price better; as never seen another in the same colour
