Had to two years and nothing has gone wrong (yet).

On the road
Driving
Comfortable and competent. Very easy to drive. Not too sporty.
Performance
Good for a 1.5 engine. Need to Rev it up... take it easy and 50+mpg is very acheivable.

Living with it
Reliability
Bought it at 80k miles, now on 110k miles and had nothing go wrong at all...

Well, my other car is a Nissan 200SX and I also have a Suzuki GSXR, so this isn't really a fair question...
Comfort
Three young kids on the back seat (with booster seats) is impossible, but loose one of the booster seats and it's fine... really a four seater though... apart from that, certainly no complaints.

It's never been nicked!! Comes with a Honda immobiliser - had no problems with that either.

Seems pretty good.
