    I'm not being funny goldspanners, but I wouldn't be interested if I could buy one new for £2000. I've never likes Korean cars they always drove like a 20yr old japanese car to me.
    I would rather have a 10yr old Ford, VW, Honda, Toyota, BMW or similar.

    hard to find the 1.5 , cause they where a £1000 extra over the 1.4 when new . but of course the better fuel economy you get with 1.5 more then justified the out lay ( not to mention the superior engine) .

    looking for a car with this kind of miles i agree , with previous posters

    Service history
    Service history
    Service history

    i'm currently in the process of buying a 1.6 Vtec Civic VTI , and have no hesitation over it's 100, 000 miles on clock cause i know it has been serviced every 6000 miles

    also at around 70, 000 miles it is essential the Cam belt has been changed ( if it has one ) , or at least factor in the price of a change .
    Better in my pocket than theirs :rotfl:
