Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I love it, It can be sluggish but the summer is when it performs at it's best, on the motorway I had the A/C on and still got 55 MPG while doing 70 MPH, in winter not so much, but if you have a light right foot you'll enjoy those figures.
What's it like to park?
Difficult at first, this being my first saloon, parking sensors maybe an option to have.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not a thing, Honda's great their service is great they meet all your needs.
What's most practical about your car?
Comfort, the only thing I'd change is to have folding rear seats, other then that it's great on long Journeys and the boot is quite big anyway.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
CVT Box, Cruise Control, Heated Seats & Aircon. The Dash is pretty cool.
