    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good second hand buy. Bought it for £600. A lot of car for your money.

    Costs

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Handles well on most journeys.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not the fastest car on the road but then it's built for comfort not speed.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very reliable Honda engine starts all the time, but can suffer from damp starting problems. However, a quick spray with a good solvent based sealant solves this.

    As I say, built for comfort not speed and paint and trims levels are of good quality a sensible car at a sensible price.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very well laid out and easy to read dials etc, does exactly what it says it will.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Not the greatest on this model, as alarm is armed from the passanger door and this can be awkward.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Easy to maintain as long as you can read a Haynes manual and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty.
