June 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think so. The dealer took £300 off asking price which is more than I thought he'd go. He also included 6 month warranty and serviced car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted a bigger car for family and smallish dog. Also where we live we get more than average snow. Honda fan so obvious choice.

What was the dealer like?

Can't complain, deal went through with no issues.

What's it like to drive?

Car drives very well for a SUV. It absorbs the road imperfections well and is an excellent long distance cruiser.

What's it like to park?

Easy enough, good visibility and parking sensors help too.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No, only issue was the clutch had a creaking sound (Honda quirk). Knowing this (about Honda) I emailed Honda UK and ended up got the clutch master cylinder done for half price as a good will gesture. Very good customer service I feel.

What's most practical about your car?

I like the versatile 2 tier boot system with sliding/folding & tumbling rear seats. I'm also glad of the parking sensors especially in the rear.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

My favorite thing about car is strong engine with 4 wheel drive on demand.
