Living with it
Reliability
Had a few starting problems. Spent a week in the garage. Eventually got recalled, but still not brilliant. Also had a new master cylinder at 48k miles.
Image
Faster than most people think. (Tend to think Civic = granny).
Comfort
Very comfortable, even on long drives.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser as standard, no alarm.
Service
Good up to now, but since my master cylinder was replaced the brakes still aren't right. The dealer says I need a new servo. Another garage just bled them!
