Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Problems with the running temperature dropping off when the outside temperature is lower than 9 degrees. Thermostat was changed twice by Honda now better. Otherwise no issues except for the poor petrol consumption. Best achieved 52 mpg worst 44 mpg this is over 34K.
What's most practical about your car?
Practical for a Saloon rear seat does not fold down because of the battery compartment. Boot average size
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Probably the auto stop feature but only works twice in stop start traffic unless you reach greater than 8 mph then it will reset again and give you another two goes. You get used this!
