Image
I like it, and everyone who has got in it likes it also. Don't be put off by the outside styling
Comfort
Loads of room for driver and passenger(s) but interior feels like it won't last

Security and Service
Security
Remote central locking, immobaliser, alarm, but, hey, lets face it, nobody is going to nick an auto honda
Service
Honda dealership (Whithouse Bexleyheath) very poor, once the car is sold they do not want to know, all they want is your money
