If you follow me on Twitter, Facebook,Tumblr or my wife on Flickr than you know that we’ve picked up a new car. We decided on a 2007 Honda Civic LX.
After our major Jeep FAIL last week we knew we needed something. For many months we’ve wanted to have a smaller, more economical and eco-friendly car. It would have been nice to have both the Jeep and the Civic (for various purposes of being able to pick which vehicle suited the needs for the day) but that is life. Ending up with a Honda was no surprise. We both really like Hondas and have for some time.
About the name, Mary Ann
One of our friends, Sam, has a Honda Civic Si that he named Ginger. We thought it’d be fun to name her in kind, so, Mary Ann it is. Not as flashy as Ginger but perhaps with a little more brains? We have more than a few friends with Hondas (we’re totally going to start a club) so it is nice to finally fit in.
I plan to do a little car-geek review of the Civic after owning it for a little while.
Very good choice. I think you’ll be very happy with the Civic. No doubt it’ll be a bit of an adjustment for you both. I went from driving a Ford ½ ton pickup to a 2002 Honda Civic and it took me a while to get used to the smaller vehicle.
We’ve been very happy with our Civic. It’s served us very well and will be carrying us across Canada next month on a 5000+ km journey to our new home. They’re very low maintenance cars and hold their resale value very well.
A great choice, I think. It seems like it’ll meet your needs rather well, and I have heard nothing but good things about Hondas (we drive a Honda Element here, an 05).
I’ll be looking forward to your review, whenever that might come.
Nice ride Colin, and a great pic!
Congratulations on the new ride. We have two 2002 Honda’s, a CRV with 160,000 miles and a Civic LX with 103,000 miles going strong.
