Value
AC and leccy windows and thats all. Anything else would just add weight to the car.
Costs
Tyres are not cheap. Honda servicing is criminal.

On the road
Driving
You will not get a better handling 2WD + FWD car.
Performance
It's possible to get it up to 60 in 6.5 secs, goes to 140 without stopping for breath. Needs to be wound up to get going but it's worth it to hear the VTEC lump squeal at 9000rpm! Addictive sound and you'll hear nothing like it!

Living with it
Reliability
No failures in 120k miles in three years, the only issues were Xenon lights persistently developed self levelling problems. Spent so much money correcting the faults gave up in end.
Image
Understated by far. From the front, looks like rep-mobile from behind looks like powerful motor from inside looks like a mean tack car.
Comfort
Adequate. Did 45k miles in one year in one and was pleased to move to a Mondeo that didn't wear you down. Noisy in cabin at motorway speeds.

Security and Service
Security
Adequate.
Service
Honda dealer was good. Honda didn't service their client as well as they build their cars.
