Servicing is reasonable, but tyres are expensive.

On the road
Driving
Excellent driving experience, but beware the wet! Contrary to the Honda blurb about the car being so well balanced, it doesn't need any traction control then try taking on a diesel Land Rover in the rain.
Performance
Exciting.
-
Living with it
Reliability
So far so good. Nothing major.
Image
Initially good, now too common.
Comfort
Good for this type of car.

Security and Service
Service
The service from the dealers has been excellent. Base Servicing is very cost competitive, but every accessory seems to be very pricy e.g. £320+ for fog lamps!
