Description
This is my 2010 Honda Civic Type R GT in milano red. I have owned this car since mid 2018. When I got the vehicle it was just under 39k miles and now sits just over 77.7k. I bought it from Honda Swansea as an approved used car and thus it came with a warranty. Under warrenty I have a new clutch + flywheel done. The squeeky clutch pedal problem fixed. Roof line rust repair. Boot lid reseal.
The car supports MP3 play via usb and does support iphone playback. To use spotify you need to have at least 1 song nativly on your device for the car to detect the media. Then you can use spotify or other streaming apps as well as satnav via google maps etc.
I work from home since covid so I've not needed to commute and I have stopped attending car meets due to other life commitments. So beyond going to the gym and the shops she doesn't get the love that she deserves (spirited driving).
She needed to go to a good home but the plan wasn't until next year, going on holiday with a Fiance and a dog in a 3 door sports car is doable but not ideal. Then plan was to early next year after the wedding start the search for a more family oriented vehicle but a friend of a friend was trading up and it was too good to pass up.
I regrettably do not have the need to 2 of my own vehicles and sadly this one has to go.
The car is 15 years old but low mileage for her age. She isn't perfect and will naturally be 15 years weathered but I think the phrase is she drives "as sweet as a nut". Serviced yearly + stamps from garage.
She is not a garage princess but I've tried to keep her presentable.
