Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very fast if you get your foot down in 3 or 4th and up to 6000 rpm. i love the growl that comes at the vtec stage especially as mine has an induction kit. Ride is very hard and some times i gringe when i have gone over a pot hole and hope nothing is broken on the car because you can feel it that much.
What's it like to park?
Poor turning circle, but it does not bother me too much.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing as yet. Fingers crossed, i trust the Honda's to be ok.
What's most practical about your car?
that fact you can drive it hard and it will scare the Sh.. out of you and result in a damp drivers seat or you can easily drive it sensibly with no problems.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
VTEC engine and DVD player that came with car.
