Torn between Honda Insight and Civic...
Hello Carzone, I have just got my full license and want to upgrade from my little getz to something more stylish and higher engine. Really torn between the honda civic 1.4 petrol (2008-10), honda insight 1.4 petrol (2008-10) and the Passat 1.4 petrol (2008-10). I work close by so driving is minimal. Mostly around city and motorways only if needed. Kindly advice Pls... Thanks in advance.
Our answer:
Hi Justin,
Go for either of the Hondas then. Both are exceptionally reliable and the Civic is one of our favourites - roomy, nice to drive and exceptionally well made. The Insight is worth considering though as it's more frugal, especially if you're not spending that much time on the motorway. It is a little small inside though.
