Someone bought the car for what it is rather than the badge,and doesn't follow the BMW brigade etc.

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

I'm gonna keep this for a long time yet.

£14,500

When did you buy the car?

January 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, bought this just after christmas when the snow was thick on the ground, an ideal time to buy a roadster/convertible.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

For the excellent engineering and driving experience, not for the badge image !

What was the dealer like?

Stratstone Honda Bedford, the salesman was excellent.

What's it like to drive?

Very docile at legal speeds, however when you engage the V-tec system it sprints forward, excellent cornering.

What's it like to park?

With the fabric hood up difficult at first due to restricted visibility with the small rear window,with the GT hardtop on its much better as the window is so much larger

Have you had any problems with the car?

nope and I'm not holding my breath

What's most practical about your car?

Not a great deal, although the boot is reasonably spacious for a roadster and the hood doesnt intrude into the boot space when retracted.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The electric hood, fully up/down in 10 seconds, oh and the starter button.
