General Comments
This Honda Shuttle is an Excellent Vehicle, large sporty Estate car with loads of passenger room. Really comfortable for long journeys with family. Loads of room. Tough (a version is sold as a Taxi in New York!). Innovative design of rear seat. Just disappears with 2 movements. I've had 2 owners of Galaxies ask me what I had done with the rear seat in car parks, they were both amazed at the flexibility compared with their bulky arrangements. V-Tec good fun, sees off all other MPV's & many other saloons. Economy reasonable at 28 to 29.
Supremely reliable (it is a Honda after all). Dealers a bit weak.
Unfortuantely I can't get a replacement, Honda stopped selling in 2000. US version now bigger, Japanese version is improved, but not UK bound. Shame.
