November 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

A similar vehicle with more miles and less spec for the same price at a main Honda dealer. The one I got was 6 months older, top spec, and only 24k miles. The dealer car had 41k.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

My wife finds it increasingly difficult to access and egress from saloons. Especially the German marque's with their wide sills.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly and left me to look around at my leisure. No hard sell.

What's it like to drive?

Quite good booth around town and on motorways. The cruise control comes in handy on long runs. Petrol tank is small (55l). I've been used to 75/80l in my previous cars. Have to fill up after every long (245 miles) drive.

What's it like to park?

No problem with sensors all round.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Space and elevated driving position.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Rear view camera - when it's not dirty, and parking sensors.
