>Cavernous boot can carry a lot of stuff with ease > very economical especially on Motorway 56mpg possible at 65mph, for a 1.5 tonne car that's impressive,> Adaptive cruise control> High driving position> Very comfortable seats> Towbar fitted £600 ( Honda approved)Tows our 1.2 Tonne Caravan with ease, which is impressive for a small 1.5 turbo engine.> Smooth gearbox and smooth suspension.
Dislikes- Paintwork is soft and scratches easily> seats wearing on bolsters car done just under 5k miles, Oil life service indicator always suggests Oil needs to be changed too soon indicates 4000 miles between changes car also has very slight oil dilution, hoping this will go away as the engine gains more miles.
This is my 9th Honda the interior quality especially the carpeting is the worst of any Honda owned, signs of cost cutting, DAB radio never seems to allow DAB to work signal never strong enough and the Handsfree Bluetooth sometimes does not pair with my phone which is irritating also a lot of water drips out of the Exhaust pipes when engine at operating temp not sure if this is down to E10 fuel now being used as Ethanol contains more water than E5 petrol.
