Cool and new.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Never again. Hate the ride and build quality. I will be sticking to the German cars as they have spent more time on the details!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's awful to drive. I owned a BMW before and have gone back to one as of tomorrow. Hard ride and very noisy on the motorway. Why did Honda ruin the car. My dad's N ('96) plate drives better.
What's it like to park?
Not bad if you have the parking sensors which my car does, but you have very limited vision.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car.
What's most practical about your car?
Very practical and good boot storage.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Xenon lights and easy to see speedometer. Also I use the cruise control and parking sensors all the time.
