Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Superb, very prompt. Always accessible. Felt a valued customer throughout the process. Hepworth Honda, Halifax.

What's it like to drive?

Excellent to drive, much more comfortable than the Golf. Quick off the mark and bags of torque.

What's it like to park?

Fine with wing mirrors, but you need the because rear window visibility is terrible. Parking sensors should be as standard.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Handbrake re-call, although in my opinion nothing was wrong with it. Just ageing Honda drivers not being able to use it correctly. Engine system light came on @ 17,000 miles. Dealer saw it the next day and it was just a fault with the light - hasn't returned since.

What's most practical about your car?

The space under the armrest in the front!
