Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a small bit off the asking price, but to be honest, I would have been quite happy to pay over the asking price. I had been looking for a new car for awhile, but nothing really sprung out at me. I felt cheeky asking for a discount as it is in such A1 condition.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I was driving past a garage one day, and they had the usual dull rubbish on the forcourt, i.e Monedo's, Astra's, Focus's, BMW 3 series. I was just about to look away again, when out ot the corner of my eye I saw this beautiful shaped car (It just looks stunning). So I pulled over and found out what it was, as I had never seen one before. I was hooked from then really, so i bought it.

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was 100% excellent. Even picked me up on the day I was getting the car and he gave me a free tank of gas.

What's it like to drive?

It's no type R, however I wouldn't swap it for one. It looks better than a type r (in my opinion) and it's alot cheaper to run. It's not the fastest car on the road but just look at the traffic on the roads. This car looks great and is very economical.

What's it like to park?

It can be tricky to park as rear view is a bit restricted due to the sloping roof line. However apart from that very easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I have only had the car a month, but it's seem's to be a typical Honda. The car has really low miles and full honda service history. I have heard that they do have front suspension trouble, with the front shocks needing to be replaced. But as yet it is A1.

What's most practical about your car?

The car has a really large boot, for a car of it's type. It's no roomy hatchback. But for I need it for it's just perfect.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

My car comes with the rear spoiler with intergrated brake light, which just makes it look stunning. I've seen pictures of this model without and it just doesn't do justice to the car. Side air bags and Climate control are also a big plus for such a car.
