  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A cheap-to-buy sportscar.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Insurance is silly at group 17. Thirsty depending on weight of right foot. Cost of new parts is ridiculous - I've found some in the scrappers, though! Don't get it serviced at a mail dealer.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Solid, comfortable feel. Controlable understeer if pushed hard.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I love the screaming VTEC engine. It just pulls forever!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No reliability problems have developed in the 2 years I've owned it (touch wood).

    "That's a nice car, what is it?" is a commonly asked question. It's nice to be different.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I can drive anywhere in total comfort. Little room for anything else, though.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Scrote magnet. De-lock it, fit a good immobiliser and alarm. I learned the hard way.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    They did what they had to - nothing more. Expensive.
