Hello: I just bought a 2026 Civic Advance. At 68 years old and with many, many kilometers under my belt, it’s time to change my mindset a bit. I’ve had all kinds of cars: from a Renault 4 to powerful estates with naturally aspirated V6 petrol engines. From nimble pocket rockets like a 1.9 205 GTI to a Megane RS. The one before last was a VOLVO XC60 B4. The latest is the Civic. I had never owned a Honda (car… bikes, yes) and don’t think for a second that I don’t regret it, because it is a real delight. If I were a few years younger I would have bought the Type R, but now I’m enjoying driving again. I never would have said that about a hybrid.
And now for a little question: Is there any way to turn off that hateful over-speed warning beep? I find it quite unbearable. It’s not that I drive like a maniac, but in urban and suburban traffic, where if you go the legal speed the rest of the cars will eat you alive, it’s insufferable.
Anyway… see you around.
