Driving it
What's it like to drive?
In a straightline, its FANTASTIC. The vtec engine is just superb. It can beat anything in acceleration from 50-70. From a standing start its also excellent. The torque is just fantastic it pulls and pulls and pulls.
What's it like to park?
Its fine. It has quite a high rear end but yu can see the spoiler so you know where the back end is. Visibility is great all round.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Rust seems to be an issue. Not so much on the body work but the exhaust and suspension in and around the wheel arches. But mechanically it is totally sound.
What's most practical about your car?
Rear seats fold down to make an already large boot even larger. Loads of room inside and very very comfortable.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated Electric drivers seat and remote boot release.
