An absolute dream. Power is always there, no matter what gear, it loves driving. And for overtaking, you have the small matter of another 50 BHP kicking in just when you need it...ACE!

What's it like to park?

Larger turning circle than a normal civic, but you`ll be so excited to get back in after parking it you really wont care about parking manouvres. I am wary where I park it though. Either in the middle of 2 car spaces, or miles away from other cars

I don`t want a practical car, i want a perfect car, and this is it. Of course there is stacks of room still
