    4 out of 5 4.0

    Got a cracking deal on mine. Look for a good deal and you can save up to £1000 on Parker's second hand pricing. For the money, it's a cracking car

    Was used to Beemer servicing, so nothing really different. Find a specialist or stay main dealer.

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Drives very smoothly and quietly, the ride is a wee bit jolty but I guess that's down to the low-ride and suspension on it

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Craking once wound up. Auto box takes a bit to get going so use the Sequential shift and keep it above 5500 rpm and it sings

    Honda. Japanese. Bullet Proof

    Looks big and sporty at the same time. Try finding one with a spoiler

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Front is great, but you're not going to take your two 6ft mates to the pub

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Remote central locking but feels like you could gain access with a toothpick. Fit another alarm

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Mediocre Main dealer service. None of them really care these days but if they get the work done and the book stamped, who cares
