Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent to drive, much more comfortable than the Golf. Quick off the mark and bags of torque.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Handbrake re-call, although in my opinion nothing was wrong with it. Just ageing Honda drivers not being able to use it correctly. Engine system light came on @ 17,000 miles. Dealer saw it the next day and it was just a fault with the light - hasn't returned since.
What's most practical about your car?
The space under the armrest in the front!

Panoramic roof
