Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Great car to look at with its shark face ufo styling. Stands out more than most. Interior is spacious i take 3 adults to work rear passengers have lots of leg room can fit three adults in back just a little cosy ( bump head on door frame on way in sometimes). But parking and visibility is crap. Not as reliable or as good as old models civics and expensive when they go wrong. Xeon lights are cool but yellow side lights ruin appearance so change them.

How reliable do you find the car?

Electrical issues are annoying. Not so bullet proof engines either injector faults cause fumes in cabin due to engine layout. Poor mechanical design.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Looks awesome and its powerful. Perks are that it's spacious, great storage solutions, engine is powerful (but noisy) seats are comfy and everything is in reach and display is amazing. But the old generations were more reliable that's why I saved to get another but too many things annoy me with this model. Air con is rubbish, no heated front windscreen, no mp3 input, no spare tyre, Bluetooth module drains battery, too many warning lights even warns you that it's cold and constant beep to let you know key is in ignition just beep twice. And parking is a nightmare due to turning circle. I wonder if petrol models are better. My one saddens me injector problems a real problem.
