...WHAT IS IT? The current, space age looking, Honda Civic is now becoming a familiar sight on our roads. Indeed, I think even Honda have been taken by surprise by its popularity. At 4250mm in length it is a refreshingly compact competitor in the ever expanding family hatchback market, indeed it is a few mm shorter than its immediate predecessor, which was less roomy inside. The tardis trick has been partially pulled off by Honda abandoning their much praised fully independent rear suspension system, in favour of a much cheaper, lighter and more space efficient torsion beam arrangement. That technical detail will mean little to the majority reading this, the press however were highly critical that, thanks to this change, the Honda would no longer be good to drive, would not ride well and generally would not live up to its sleek...

...I had a car accident at the start of this year, quite literally i got home just after new years, and so when it came to get a car and start driving again, my insurance was sky high being 19 and having crashed. I had my eye on a peugeot 306 1.4 and so with a low insurance group and the car only being worth £1000 I was shocked to find most insurance companies quoting me over £2500 per year. It doesnt sound much for car insurance but the hard truth hits home when you work that out to be £6.84 per day. Ridiculous, I could pay for a personal chauffer for not much more. Anyway I eventually stumbled upon Norwich Union who I thought were going to rip me off too, but surprisingly quoted me a very low (Comparitively) £1800 which I snapped up, and although even this proved too high a price for me with then having to cancel the insurance, Norwich...
