Handles well on most journeys.
Performance
Not the fastest car on the road but then it's built for comfort not speed.

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

Security and Service
Security
Not the greatest on this model, as alarm is armed from the passanger door and this can be awkward.
Service
Easy to maintain as long as you can read a Haynes manual and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty.
