Driving
Really easy to drive, can be relaxing or exciting depending on your right foot. Best hot hatch I've owned.
Performance
Great, It picks up well from 1000 rpm and doesn't stop until 7500 (redline 8000). sounds awesome when the vtec kicks in. It'll do 60 mph in 2nd gear.

Living with it
Reliability
Excellent.
Image
The looks don't match the performance, very understated.
Comfort
Equipment spec is good, electric everything. Driving position and seats are spot on. Mine has a few squeaks though and the speakers aren't very good.

You need a good alarm.
Service
Serviced at local garage, not the cheapest because it's a Honda.
