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

In their own words

Loved the spec SE, walk home headlights, daytime running lights, electric windows all round, and my fav, retractable wing mirrors when locking the car with the fob. Save your mirrors and " I have locked it as the wing mirrors are retracted". The engine is quick enough when needed, its not a TT. Sorted a service plan with a non Honda dealer, saved a fortune. Simple to use and all round parking sensors with colour rear camera made parking a doodle. Hill assist and climate control are also part of the long list of great spec.

How reliable do you find the car?

The stop/start would only work when the heating/aircon was correctly set, very odd.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Loved how much it would carry. Sending my son and three friends off for the weekend, training gear and bedding etc, still got over 50mpg when cruise control was active on the motorways. Roof bars and kayak, just lost a few mpg. Very comfortable on long runs, and rear passengers loved the reclining seats after a hard weekend training.
