On the road
Driving
To much bodyroll in corners. Does not like to corner at speed - has habit of breaking free in wet conditions. Dangerous ammounts of understeer. Would have been better set up to oversteer.
Performance
Very rapid for a standard 1.6 normally aspirated engine.

Living with it
Reliability
These cars are so reliable it's a joke they just don't go wrong or break down.
Image
Seen as in same class as BMW or Lexus. The Honda badge draws respect.
Comfort
Very comfortable, but sadly no lumbar support can give backache on long journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Average standard security.
Service
Faultless. My main dealer can't do enough.
