Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Highly sought-after car holds value very well. Performance-wise, nothing even come close with this sort of money. Insurance is hell expansive.
Costs
Fuel economy is very good if you don't thrash it hard. It eats front tyres.

On the road
Driving
Supurb driving position and visibility. It gives you the thrill no other car can give you.
Performance
Unbelievably quick for a 1.8 engine. Superb handling and steering.
-
Living with it
Reliability
100% reliable mechanically and electronically.
Image
Only people who know cars will know it. To most others, it's just a normal Honda with boy-racer's spoiler.
Comfort
Very stiff suspansion, very firm and bumpy ride in town though it has more comfort than I expected. Anyway, comfort is not an issue for a strip out racer, right? It has room for 4 and a big boot, what can you complain about?

Security and Service
Security
Cat 1 alarm + immobiliser fitted. Steering wheel lock used every time as I don't have a garage. Security on this car worries me a bit, but so far it's ok.
Service
Generally friendly and helpful, though not as good as a local garage I used to go.
