Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Brilliant in snow, fairy quite engine, everything feels solid but I was shocked by a corrosion problem and terrible road noise.
A very different vehicle from the previous model smaller, slightly louder and not as well thought out.
I was very disappointed that the door handle surroundings all got corrosion.some sort of connectivity sped up the metals deteriation. They were illuminated and I think that was the problem. It was sorted but the interior door cards had to be removed as the job had to be done properly. This which of course ment the car was never the same. I was pleased with the handling of the car, not something I am usually bothered about but during a severe snow event it outperformed all cars. Up a ice track
A head light levelling ball joint went so it failed its MOT Honda quoted nearly 1000 pounds. The local garage hit it with a hammer and fixed the light into place for 30
Intresting experience but the car seems confused what it is and feels like it was developed under a smaller budget compared to other well thought out refined more popular Honda models.

How reliable do you find the car?

Corrosion on a expensive 6 year old Honda was very disappointing. Generally good reliability after that though

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
