Driving it

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
YES - 6 weeks into owning my car.... Complete electronic failure on the motorway. Steering failure, traction control failure. Complete loss of control traveling at 60mph. AA had to come out and pick up car and return it to dealership. This car has risked the my life and my 8 month old son. I complained to Honda Customer Care and they don't care at all. It has not been an enjoyable experience and certainly wouldn't recommended the buying of this car.

Space (Not reliability or customer care as they state).
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Good spec and I like the auto main beams. The Robust Pack The Design Pack.
