    What does this car say about you?

    Not a lot. It's quite inconspicuous so it delivers fun in spades without making you look pretentious.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Everyone seems to like it.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    No. I never want to have to deal with another Honda main dealer. Ones in Crewe and Warrington (Cheshire) at any rate weren't satisfying.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Aston Martin Vantage.
