Living with it
Reliability
shock absorbers, steering rack, steering column needed replacing, niggly rattle from the passengers door honda should have kept production in japan as the british build is very poor plastic trim is of poor quality and marks easily.

no complaints here , loads of space in the rear but boot space suffers.
