Honda Civic Hatchback 2008
Petrol / gas, from Italy. The only downside - the gas equipment is put in Italy and here in Latvia no one can connect to the brain of this type of equipment (started switching itself from petrol and gas). All this time since I have used the car, I have done nothing more (nothing !!!) than brake maintenance (replacement of pads, discs)! And they are around 185,000 km!

A bit of a rattling of panel, but this is probably due to the fact that the car has been damaged. Rear view camera turns on slowly

Robust, technically reliable. A great design for the year. Good handling, firm on the road. Relatively spacious interior, also in the rear, capacity good enough for this class.
Lots of plastic parts on the outside, which are low and easy to wrap. Repairs are not very cheap. Suspension relatively hard, but it gives good handling.

Visually attractive and stylish, even beautiful:) Mild, comfortable interior Good original audio system, Roomy trunk by folding chairs can sleep in car.:)
Transparency is not as good as a result of rear glass design, but it habit-forming, highly addictive. Perhaps rather short, to get better, but also become accustomed to it:)
