On the road
Driving
Vying for the best car I have driven (last car was a 1989 Lotus Excel SE). Fantastic handling, brakes and positive gearchange. However, can be very frustrating in town as torque is low and engine has to be revved to produce best performance.
Performance
Fantastic performance above 6000rpm. Quicker than almost anything above this zone, but car an be caught flat-footed during everyday driving the necessity to rev the engine hard can be embarrassing as the engine sounds extremely harsh.

Image
Looks best in black and red with huge rear spoiler, but rest of styling is subtle; some might say that the styling is generically Honda. Does have road presence because of reputation.
