Value
A good one is superb value at current prices.
Costs
Honda dealers hugely expensive. Not too bad from midrange independent garage.

On the road
Driving
Never given me a scare in 100,000 miles!
Performance
Very flexible.

Living with it
Reliability
One to watch - can flood on start up - just keep it spinning and it will catch, but heck, 5 times in 100k!
Image
Looking a bit dated now, but still pretty.
Comfort
Driver and passenger 5 star, rear legroom with 6ft driver barely two star.
-
Security and Service
Security
Factory alarm / immobiliser, recurring problem with central locking 'cycling' due to damp getting to microswitches.
Service
Pricey, HodaCare warranty problems (rad went at 75,000 miles, quibbled because 42000 interim service done by local garage). Honda staff clearly baffled by lock problems but charged £50 to disable locking altogether. Auto electrician sorted in ten minutes.
