Sure footed, good brakes, but need to rev the engine to get the most from it.
Performance
Goes well at high revs, but no acceleration in fifth. Wouldn't mind trying a VTEC.

Living with it
Reliability
Fantastic. No problems so far, though needed new front discs at 45k miles.
Image
Bit of an old person's car. You'll never turn heads.
Comfort
Comfy and spacious. Lots of driver legroom. Seats could have a little more lateral support.

Good immobiliser, however have had stereo and boot badge pinched.
