With the exception of a faulty diff (which was replaced on the warranty), there have been no problems at all.
Image
I know a lot of people that turn their nose up at it because it's a Honda and not a BMW/Porsche, but that's exactly why I bought it. A good looking motor that's rare enough to bring a smile to my face on the odd occasions that I pass another one.
Comfort
Good. Took the scenic route through France to the Spanish border over three days with no difficulties.

Security and Service
Security
It's probably worth investing in some additional security over the standard kit. No problems so far.
