    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    These Honda engine coupe's are cheap and have loads to offer interms of comfort and power, with alloys it looks sweet

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Running a 2.7 V6 isn't cheap and the repair cost are pricey as there aren't many coupe's about

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It's a motorway dream, cruise control, auto, and leather seats - climate control, very smooth and powerful when you need it - the honda V6 is excellent

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It excellent and the power goes on forever, however it's not really for country roads as its heavy and big so the breaks will wear and your passengers will be on a bumper car ride if you drive fast, but the motorways and smooth roads it's the dogs …

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    so far everythings been fine - and mines a 1500000 miler - just make sure you have a specailist maintain it and always buy high quality replacements - tyers, brakes and pads especially

    Not great, but then anyone who knows cars will know the power and comfort of this beast, but nice 18"" alloys help lift the profile and the coupe isn't nasty looking compaired to the rest of the 800 series

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfort is second to none, leather, climate control, full electics, programable front seat, the back seats are even better then the front ones - its the most room in a coupe ever!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Deadlocks, central locking and an immob, but the fact that you can open the boot from inside the cabin is not good, I prefer the 3 series BMW total deadlock system

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I always use independent specialists never the dealerships - they are over priced and most don't know how to service this car properly
