Reliability
It's a Honda.
Image
Lesser spec can appear frumpy, but with alloys and a spoiler, in a good colour, I think makes an attractive hatch.
Comfort
Nice trim on SE spec, worth scouring the market for. Comfy and good quality finish. Seats comfortable.

Security and Service

Honda remote alarm sufficient. Parked on-street and not been nicked!
Service
Supplying main dealer excellent and continued excellent aftersales service (always a courtesy car - which seems rare!)
