A few small problems, but sorted under warranty.

The back end is a little dated, but still ok.

Security and Service
Security
Buy one with the Honda fitted CAT 1, or it will walk.
Service
Only had a month left to run on the warranty and they replaced the clutch and flywheel (due to judder), the wheels (corrosion) and the front discs (due to judder). You can't fault that?
