Value
A little on the expensive side for car this size, but can't complain with the performance it offers.

Must be regularly serviced, especially at high milleage. Service costs are reasonable.

On the road
Driving
Very comfortable with excellent handling.
Performance
The best model in its class. With 169bhp and 0-60 in 8.3 seconds. Really shifts in 3rd gear and when hits the 4000 revs boy it screams.

Living with it
Reliability
The best car I have ever driven, with comfort and reliablity. I have not spent any extra money on this, only wear and tear.
Image
The VTi is the best model to purchase when it comes to looks. It has the extra kit, fog lights and alloys giving the car the extra image.
Comfort
Very comfortable to drive with half leathers. Spacious cabin room.

Security
Honda could have offered much better security. However recommended to install a CAT 1 alarm to ensure extra security.
