Economy
Value
7k for an auto, brand new with metallic paint and 12 months rfl. Mega value. Go check the price of the Vauxhall version and see the equipment level and the old engine they put in. You get vvti and auto for the price of the 1ltr base manual Vauxhall.
Costs
Silly to the gallon. We have lost 4k in 12 months on previous cars and this only cost 7k so how bad can it be? Very good on fuel too.

Driving
Corners like mad given how tall it is. Great fun.
Performance
Not a rocket ship, but 80-90 on the motorway is comfortable.

Living with it
Reliability
Always started, too new to tell.
Image
Bit of a mum mobile, but that's what it was made for.
Comfort
The seats look like deckchairs but are so comfy it's untrue. The upright seating position leaves you feeling refreshed and alert after a long drive. All the electric goodies are included too.

Security and Service
Security
Superb drivers door first feature is nice for dark car parks, immobiliser as standard. Not really a sexy theft mobile, so no problems there then.
Service
Very changeable. Sometimes great, sometimes very poor. depends where you go. Smaller franchises try harder but they aren't Honda.
