    A bit thirsty on high revs when the V-TEC kicks in.

    Too much fun. Good cornering due to the struts.

    I spy... with my little eye... a 1.6-litre 160bhp VTi.

    Average.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Shop around. You'll always find a cheaper dealer - the higher North you go, the cheaper the service (sometimes). Watch out for the 72,000 mile service TIMING BELT.
