Economy
Value
Not the cheapest available, but you get what you pay for!
Costs
Reasonably economical if driven carefully, but drinks like a fish if you use the engine's 'full potential'.

On the road
Driving
Superb on twisty, fast roads. Equally at ease on long motorway journeys. A great car to just take out and drive... just for the sake of driving!
Performance
Fantastic once you get the revs up above 5k! Smooth and responsive at all times.

Living with it
Reliability
It's a Honda... Clarkson once said "If Honda built people, no one would ever die"!
Image
A wolf in sheep's clothing, but hardly groundbreaking in the style stakes! Has most cred with the over 50s, which does make for some very well looked after second-hand examples!
Comfort
Stiff, but not uncomfortable. Rear seats are very comfy (apparently!) although there is only room for 4 (no middle seatbelt).

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser as standard... my Honda dealer (Greenacre) fit a Cat 1 alarm to mine for me when I bought it.
Service
Honda dealers are friendly, efficient, and reasonably priced servicing too!
