Driving
Very nice drive, excellent gear shift. Doesn't really like travelling in slow traffic. Ride is crashy over rough roads.
Performance
Very fast and rewarding. The Honda F1 heritage shows through with this car.

Living with it
Reliability
Great reliability. Had to replace usual things like brake pads, tyres... etc
Image
Amazing I would say, especially for the price. Looks up to date on the road, other cars are still following in terms of design.
Comfort
Very comfortable front sports seats hold you in tight, air con is excellent as well, also gear stick is right beside you.

Security and Service
Security
Not sure how advanced it is, but I've never had any problems. I have a tracker fitted too though.
Service
Chatham Honda are a bit lax, not sure they do all the service work required and have not carried work i've them to do when my car was in for a service, i won't use them again. So don't assume cause it's a Honda dealer they will be great, check first.
