I am a mechanic, and one of my regulars has a diesel civic on an 07 plate, and although I liked the looks I was unimpressed by the drive (I also own an accord icdti ), so I had never really considered an fn2 until one came up for sale at Burton on trent, at the right money, mileage, colour and history and thought hmm, maybe I should try one on for size?, well needless to say I was impressed!

I have to say, all the slating the fn2 gets its undeserved in my opinion, and after driving all the ep3's with worn tired suspension or slammed I can tell you the simple rear end of the fn2 wins hands down. Independent rear suspension might be superior when its brand new, but after a shed load of miles and abuse, there's no contest.
