congrats on the new pickup!
New 16 Civic EX-Turbo
VW Jetta TDI to New 16 Civic EX-Turbo Coupe
As one of the victims of the VW Dieselgate fraud , 2012 VW Jetta TDI Premium, 30,000 miles. I had no choice but to take the VW buyback option. So for the past month I have been looking at a wide ranging list of cars: from the new 2017 Fiat Spyder 124, the Subaru BZR & CrossTrek, (my wife has a Subaru Forester), 2012 MB C -250 Coupe, Mazda C-3, Used Lexus C300, I even test drove a couple of VW models, a GTI and a Jetta SE. I was looking for a car similar in size to my Jetta TDI, good performance, good MPG and a good sound system. I almost bought a Civic in 2012 but it lacked the performance of the Jetta TDI . So I was happy to see that Honda came out with a totally new Civic Coupe with a Turbo. I was drawn by the new design, the performance( not as good as my TDI though) , the up to date electronics, i.e . Apple Play, right side camera view, remote start, etc. During my search all the cars were being compared to the 2016 Civic EX-T and the Civic won out.
I am to be paid $23,633 for my Jetta TDI , I paid $23,750 Nov. 2012. So it was a no brainer, even though I love my TDI, it's performance , size and 35-40 MPG, I could not keep it and wait for the unknown NOX fix. We TDI owners are really sad and upset but I hope to get paid by VW by the end of the year. So I went ahead with my replacement car search so I could pull the trigger when I found a car I wanted instead of waiting until I got the money from VW. I paid $21,999... MSRP $24,775 (Burien,. WA.Honda) for the Civic EX-T with a bridge loan from a credit union that does not require a payment until January. So I hope to be able to pay that loan off when I get my VW payoff.
I look forward to my Civic EX-T driving experience in the years to come.
