Honda Civic 2008 3 door Hatchback
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!

Pros: 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!
Cons: 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
