On the road
Driving
Maybe it's just me, but I don't seem to get too much feedback from the wheels.
Performance
V-TEC is a bit wierd, feels like a huge turbo lag and difficult to keep in the V-TEC rev range unless you're going for it.

Living with it
Reliability
Can't fault it.
Image
I feel a bit of a Gary with the huge rear spoiler, otherwise not too bad. Rarity a good thing. Only problem is that every Trevor in a Civic Type-R wants to race you 'cos they're jealous.
Comfort
A tad harsh. Long motorway drives tiring. I think I'd prefer to do a trip to Scotland on a Unicycle. When driving keenly on country roads Recaro seats are fantastic though.

Security and Service
Security
No-one's nicked it yet.
Service
When you get through to the service department at my local Honda garage they're great, but the receptionist really makes you work to get there. Makes you feel guilty for calling a wasting her valuable time.
