    It depends what you want from a car - as a sports car, whilst it's not too dear, there are cheaper ways

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Out of 20 quid's worth Shell Optimax, i got 70 miles - but that was nailing it. Drive under 4000 PRM and it'll do about 230 miles/ 30 quid. Not as good as my diesel Vauxhall Combi van but then i'd sooner eat my eyes then spend all my driving hours in that

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    After driving a 6 month old Porche C4, brand new BMW M3, Caterham 7, Lotus Elise (none of them were mine, sadly) - i can honestly say that this is at least as good.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Remember that, when reading these reviews, a person can only judge performance against what they've driven before. I can honestly say that it is extremely fast. I mean to the point of being suprised again and again everytime you go out. You'll love it!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I've had it for a day and nothing has gone wrong (other than me scaring myself). Any car that can survive the rath of my right foot for 24 hours must deserve a 5, right dad?

    It's like Bovril. Love it or hate it. I love it. Yes, i do. Integra drivers flash each other, which is fun

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    On short runs, it's very comfy. The seats are supportive and the ride is firm and solid. But after a couple of hours, your back gets sore to the point of needing to be air-lifted to hospital

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I'm told that without an alarm it'll get nicked. Mine has one, but that didn't stop a dog jumping on it removing half the paint. Immobiliser is fitted as standard i think though

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Becuase 2 Honda dealers tried to sell me the same car for 1500 pounds different, i'll only use them when forced.
