Thanks. The only thing I liked in Civic was its rims. Rest not a single thing attracted me to put my money on it. Grande is more value for money, both in use and in the long run also.
There are questions marks about all PKDM cars, but Atlas Civic has now too many question marks despite hefty price tags, so I will pass it for now and might consider a couple of years later.
I also went for Grande because I liked 1.6 so much, its ride and comfort, power and economy combination was perfect and Grande has much more than 1.6 to offer.
