    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Picked mine up for a grand. What a bargain. So much performance for so little, a real pleasure to own.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    These are getting old and rare, so finding spare parts is getting harder, but some around being broken for spares.

    Driving

    This is one quick car a drives like a go-kart. Power steering is only missed when parking, but get going and you forget it doesn't have it.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Amazing. It's a true pocket rocket. I've outrun most things in it; best 1600 I have ever seen! With Honda's multipoint injection system, it's really hard to beat. Can't wait 'til I next get to drive it.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    Even with the recent snow, mine starts first time every time. It's a Honda - what do you expect?

    Cruisers think it's a car to be done up, real enthusiasts know its real value.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Back seats are tiny, so when the kids reach four or five it's either them or the car - I'd go for the car every time! Front seats hold you in place and are comfy, just not adjustable enough.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    Make sure you get it alarmed and immobilser fitted.

    Service

    Never needed them, but family has always rated them highly.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    No probs. Pumps out so much power. Find as low a milleage one as you can and it will last for ever.

    Other

    Those boot gas cyclinders usually don't work and finding replacements is hard. Heard you can get them refilled though?
