I love this car! For a start, it is sexy as... 10 years old and it still turns heads. Second, the power band in the 1.6i petrol is unbelievably usable. I can accelerate up a pretty steep hill in 4th from 20mph and overtaking is a doddle. Third, great handling. I live in the Scottish Highlands and my journeys are quicker in the 4 years since I bought this than they were in the Civic Type-S Coupe I had before. It inspires a lot of confidence. Brakes and turn-in are really sharp and it grips for days. Fourth, the space is so comfortable to be in: loads of room (I'm 6'3 and don't put the seat all the way back), 4 great comfy seats, good aircon, good CD player, smooth ride and the confidence of knowing that it has a 5-star safety rating and a 5-star anti-theft rating. Cons - Crappy earth cable corroded after a cold winter. Pretty awkward to replace. - cubby holes aren't very well designed - The inclusion of a speed limiter button is a bit patronising
