Dammit-
I quite liked them, most of them are poverty spec, get an ES and the interior is not bad. Has a dense quality velour (wheras cheaper ones feel like they are made from primark £5 pants), enough gadgets, defo more interesting inside than a golf the same age. None of them are fast though, remember borrowing a mates type R and messaging him about 20 mins later to ask if it was a real type R, or just a type S with a badge change, utterly gutless and unrewarding.

Do you find a Jazz more exciting? The Civic was beige - until 2006. From the RAC:
The collective clonking sound at the 2005 Geneva motor show was that of a thousand journalist jaws hitting the deck when Honda pulled the wraps off the eighth generation Civic. Most hacks are a jaded bunch, singularly unimpressed by flight of fancy show cars but this was a model that looked as if it had flowed straight off a tyro designer's pen and was made metal in production ready form right in front of us. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage, The Ferrari F430 Spyder and the BMW M6 were all overshadowed by a five-door hatchback built in Swindon. That was some coup.
When it was unveiled in 2006 the new Civic looked like a fucking spaceship. And the dashboard/speedo etc. still looks like one. So much of that design has been appropriated since for more 'modern' cars but it's a design that still looks incredibly fresh for its age - we've just got very used to it because there are so many about.
They do look a LOT better with body coloured bumpers (on the type R and some type S's).

Don't do it, they're so fugly!
Get a 2006-2011 Civic instead. Much better looking, has all the practicality and advantages of a Jazz (including the fold down seats), you can have a 1.4l if you insist although the 1.8l is a lot better if the insurance is doable.
