The thing is I've been informed by several people including two mechanics, an engineer and two car salesmen (Not the ones I'm dealing with so no bias there) that Japanese build quality is top notch at the moment, and a honda civic is a good choice for my current driving demands.

Really? Because the one thing I've never associated with Honda is build quality. I've been in a few now, from a previous shape Accord to a new shape Civic and found them deeply tedious and plasticy. Sadly my 9 year old Punto seems to have nicer plastics inside than me mates 06 model Civic. The driver of the civic Type-R I saw on the side of the M6 this morning in a cloud of steam might hae something to say about Jap reliability as well.
Still, enjoy your pensioners' car.
