A reasonable car at a good price.

Very economical 50+mpg (with a heavy footed driver). Needs Honda services to maintain the high MPG.

Fun. Reasonable grip, but lacks any frills.

Not bad if you don't mind using the gearbox.

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable - the AA have seen it once in five years (I locked the keys in!)

Not really a head-turner.
Comfort
Engine is a little loud and low driving position won't suit everybody.

Poor - alarm/imobiliser, but can probably open the doors with a screwdriver.
Service
Variable from dealer to dealer.
