Had ours 2 years. Paid £19,995 from main dealer. Have added 35k miles to it over 2 years and just sold for £13,500. Costs 4 out of 5 Petrol is heavy. Loooooong service intervals after Honda with service every 6k miles. This is about every 15k miles. Driving 4 out of 5 Smooth, rapid surging pace and great handling. Performance 4 out of 5 Good, but traction cuts in too soon and too aggressively. That is, power completely cut not reduced to regain grip which can cause unexpected pauses when pulling out of junctions in the wet. Reliability 5 out of 5 Faultless over 35k miles. Image 4 out of 5 - Comfort 3 out of 5 Manually adjusted seats in ours and can't seem to get them 'just right'.
