    What does this car say about you?

    Dared to be different

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Certainly, maybe an EX

    Definitely a Honda.

    June 2007

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    No complaints, about 7% discount

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    I was sick to death of the non-stop round of issues and lack of reliability with a Volvo V70 diesel and the terminal apathy from Volvo dealers. Decided to downsize.

    What was the dealer like?

    First rate throughout, even loaned me a new demonstrator Civic for 2 weeks while mine was delivered.

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Excellent, probably the best car I've ever had. Incredible performance and economy, handles like a dream.

    What's it like to park?

    Reverse parking takes bit of getting used to, use the mirrors (that's why they are so big). Should have reversing sensors as standard.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Not a single thing

    What's most practical about your car?

    Fantastic use of space, unbelievable load carrying ability for a fairly small car

    There is so much but the glass roof adds a real feeling of space.
