Good Points

Acceleration, and the vtec zone! Body hugging seats and clear dash.


Bad Points

Very bumpy on poor roads - you wouldn't notice it in a normal car. Small fuel tank and sub 30mpg = lots of visits for petrol. Very keen to oversteer in the damp & skitish over poor surfaces - typical of b-roads where this car should be at it's best.


General Comments

I love this car, as it's a lot of performace for the money - plus you get bullet-proof reliability. But it does lack in refinement, very basic interior, poor quality CD radio, lots of road noise. But that acceleration! I don't think this car is easy to drive fast on UK B-roads as it has a tendancy to oversteer - seems strange for a front mounted front wheel drive car - but it happens, its caught me out, and my tyres and pressures are fine. Can't wait to take it on a track though...
