On the road
Driving
Bought this car after owning a VW Lupo GTi, it's no where near as fast but handles superbly. Suspension can sometimes seem a little harsh but it sticks to the road like glue. Poor turning circle, but hey you can't hey you can't have everything!
Performance
A little sluggish at times, but handles superbly.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems as yet - and the Honda customer service is far better than VW.
Image
Not quite the Type R, but still sexy enough to turn heads.
Comfort
Seats are comfortable, suspension a little hard but no where near as hard as the Type R. Ideal storage space, drinks holders etc.
