The FK8 definitely attracts attention...which can be a good and a bad thing. I originally bought it purely because of its looks and I still think it looks amazing. The S3 is much more understated, although if pushed considerably faster off the line. It just suits my everyday driving style...

Traded it in.

Yep, RS3 is an absolute beast.....it has all the performance and grip anybody could possibly need from a road car. :)

A saloon car has a separate opening boot. ie. the rear screen stays in place when opened. :) There has been an increasing number of manufacturer specific terms which have confused things.

I've only used V Power in my FK8 but have been noticing the price rising sharply in recent weeks. It's around 1.43 a litre here.

Of course, my mistake. :smt053 I'm actually sitting in a 3 door right now as it happens. :D

It is definitely a long and wide car. The physical size surprised me when I first got it....especially when reversing into my garage. As said though....and of course you know this, a hatchback is defined by an opening tailgate, also known as a 5 door car. :)

A Nextbase special....Halfords just one of the places you can buy them. :D I use a Nextbase 412GW, also bought from Halfords funnily enough. :D Why don't you tuck the cable in along top of window then down the side behind the rubber? That's what I done....takes 5 minutes and the cable can't be...

Don't need to remove any trim....the wire runs down the side of windscreen behind the flexible rubber then under the dash. Completely hidden from view. :)

Yep, both are rare cars in most parts. I've still only seen the one FK8, and as above only a handful of FK2s....if even that.

I've changed my mind.....it does look pretty good in that photo. :)

That's what I expected....I was just surprised you hadn't removed the front one before taking the photo. It's a pity the Honda Design one wasn't available, I think it looks neater and a bit more discreet. :)

Is there still a carrier film to peel off on the Honda decal? Purely my own personal opinion of course, but I don't think the Honda decal adds anything.

Sorry you just confused me when you said "boggo civic fk8", because that could only be the non GT model. :D Yes they only do the 1.0 and 1.5 in the current petrol range with 127bhp and 180bhp respectively. Courtesy cars are usually lower powered models...but could be a 1.5. :) 1.5 engine is...

Im pretty sure you didn't mean to write fk8 there. :) What courtesy car did you get?
