Not too many gimmicks for price. Needs better knick-knack storage space. Paintwork still like new.
Costs
As expected

On the road
Driving
Perhaps 1st gear is too low. Quite often squeal the tyres when pulling away quickly. Acceleration good for weight of car.
Performance
Quite nippy for size and weight. Heavy on fuel on motorways. Better locally at around 29mpg.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far.
Image
The Japanese aren't too good at design. Adequate.
Comfort
Loads of room, everywhere. Seats good, better than my old BMW. Too many rattles.

Security and Service
Security
Too easy to see into boot, despite retractable cover.
Service
Sat nav is very poor, a problem Honda do not wish to deal with.
