General impressions:
By the end of April I got my salary. I won a promotion lately, so from being a simple middle manager I turned into a marketing director – something I couldn’t even dream of. So I got my $2,000 and went home. I had always dreamt of a compact and high-powered sports car that would be high-speed but not too gluttonous at the same time. So I made a reasonable choice and bought a Honda Civic 1.6 for $4,600.
Honda Civic is meant for people who search for perfection everywhere and at any moment! I feel like this car knows me since long ago and understands me so well. It takes me to work in the morning and in the evening we have a drive with my friends in the dimmed light of the streets. I love how it flies along the highway. When I am inside this car I can’t help thinking “Things are not too bad and I’m gonna give life a chance for another week or two…” My car heals me when I feel bad, and when I need energy it is always there to serve me adrenaline.
But it all changed when I decided to purchase some additional equipment for my gentle car...
On the 25th of May I found out from an Internet source about the nitrous oxide system (NOS). I learned that this thing could raise my car’s output by 50-100 horsepower and decided to get hold of it whatever the cost. So my Honda and I went to the service center to get the NOS and a couple of other things installed.
After the transplantation of an organ, a human tends to feel better… Don’t know whether my car has started feeling better after such modification, but there’s no doubt that Civic has been a fundamental shift to my life (for the better of course). It’s become faster by 40 kmph – for less than $1,500! We sure must not forget that the pre-tuning cost of this masterpiece was reaching 5 grand, but still, why don’t you try and find a sports car that speeds up to 100 kmph in 5.2 seconds and to maximum of 260 kmph in 26 seconds, with sporty interior and a sound suspension for mere $7,000! “Nonsense, that”, - you’d say. I see your point but I do not agree!
I recommend Honda Civic 1.6 VTi to those who are lonesome and perhaps not too lucky in life, because with this car you are sure going to forget about the sadness of the outward things! Honda Civic - enjoy your life!
