An update on my first video on the Honda Civic Tourer. In four months of ownership, I have now covered 3,500 miles and found no issues other than a sunvisor rattle and the lack of an obvious place to put sunglasses. Otherwise zero complaints.
Fuel economy over the last three months has averaged 61.13 mpg - this is actual mpg rather than what the car claims. My mileage has mainly been covered on smaller country roads and all by me.
I changed the tyres to a set of Goodyear Vector 4seasons all-season tyres and they have been great. I'm sure that has probably helped the economy a bit. Also loving the magic seats: they have proved very handy. There is a hint of clutch judder in the mornings but it soon goes and I am not too put out by this. I have no other real complaints.
Next jobs will be using some genuine roof bars I bought last week, fitting a tow bar and tracking down a second-hand dog guard. I passed a slightly pricey one up soon after I bought this car and wish I had gone for it now: the benefit of hindsight!
