On the road
Driving
Electric power steering, I find car needs constant correction after 75-80mph, Honda tested and said all was ok
Performance
1.4, Safe heavy body, so a bit gutless unless you thrash engine

Living with it
Reliability
Would have given it max points, except for noisey front suspension, and creaking on take off, again Honda found no fault when they tested car
Image
Only seem to be driven by O.A.P's (ok as I'm 50)
Comfort
Excellent ride, seats get uncomfortable on very long journeys

Security
No alarm, only a immobiliser, penny pinching
Service
As with all Main dealers, very expensive
