Good Points
Comfortable and easy to access. Quiet. Controls readily accessible. Good steering and very responsive throttle.

Bad Points
Disappointing visibility to the rear, not helped by thick pillars. Rear wiper could have a wider sweep.

General Comments
My previous car was a Multipla and I was therefore very used to having good all-round vision with a comfortable driving position. Before buying the Honda, I had tested out VW Touran, Vauxhall Zafira and Renault Scenic. All four were tempting in their own way, but I felt that the Honda just shaded the others and my final decision was also influenced by Honda's reputation for reliability.

I can perhaps best summarise my view by saying that it was the one car that I would have been happy to drive around in all day.
