On the road
Driving
Not bad for front-wheel drive, decent grip can't hide the size of the car.
Performance
Sluggish start leads to surprisingly responsive top end. Devours motorways.

Living with it
Reliability
It's a Honda.
Image
Depends what you want: won't turn heads of the proles but knowledgable drivers will cast appreciative looks. Original alternative to German coupes. Most will just be confused.
Comfort
Huge leather, fully adjustable driving position, surprising room in back.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm, immobiliser, face-off, visible VIN.
Service
N/A: have you seen how much they charge to let apprentices loose on your car?
