Welcome to the forum!

Wow, what dedication to a particular model of car. You must have had a really good experience with the first one, way back in the day, to inspire that kind of lasting loyalty. My family owns two Civics at the moment (I have the 05 HCH and my sister has the 03 DX) and we're very happy with them, but I'm not sure it's going to inspire a lifetime run of Civic ownership.

Until my hybrid, my family has never bought the same car twice before. Actually, I'm not positive that's true- we had a Geo Prism hatchback and then we replaced it with a Chevy Prism, which we still have. I don't know if that counts as the same car, and besides, the new one isn't a hatchback. Any idea?

Congratulations on your new car and good luck! Hooray for the HCH!
