Buying a Honda

After having a company car for 20 years I am now facing entering the wonderful world of car dealers and am feeling confused to say the least. I have been offered a Honda Civic 5 door ES model 1.8 petrol pre reg on 11 plate with 3years free servicing and road tax for £14,600. I will be travelling around 6,000 miles a year, mainly round town and my golf clubs must fit in the boot.

Can I ask you if you think this is a good choice and if so is this a good deal.

Grab it like a shot. These are hugely commodious cars and astonishingly economical. I recently got 45mpg out of one: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/honda/honda-civic-...o
