Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Something a bit different & has the best normally asp[irated 4 pot engine you can get

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Outstanding to drive. Well behaved at low revs and a growly VTEC at high revs. Long journeys are ok.

What's it like to park?

bonnet is fairly long but 4 wheel steering means it has better turning circle than most smaller cars. 4WS does take some getting used to reversing into spaces.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Absolutely bomb proof. Not one fault.

What's most practical about your car?

For the performance the fuel economy isn't bad. Fits two people in the back with only minor discomfort :-) which is not bad for a sports car,

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Heated seats in the winter are great. nice to have a sunroof for the summer.
