This is really good car. I've had mine now for five years and I'm still not bored with it. It looks up to date even today with all the ever-changing new car models coming out. Performace is probably this car's strongest point; it handles very well and has excellent feel and control. The VTEC engine is outstanding but quite thirsty. The six-speed gearbox is excellent and very easy to use in the touring car position. I have to say though that the ratios are very close and I feel the engine revs too high when (for instance) you're in 6th and you're doing 70 mph. It's not too heavy on the front tyres - as long as you don't spin the wheels, they should last a while. The stereo system is nothing special - good sound, but pretty basic single CD. Seats are comfortable, but on long journeys can lack support around the neck area. So far I've done 63,000 miles in this car and it has never broken down. To be fair I would recommend one of these cars to any potential owner. They are very exciting and look great, and still surprisingly rare. Take your time though and find a well looked after example.

This is a real driver's car. It's a bit noisy - most of the noise coming from the tyres. It can be a bit tiring to drive on long journeys due to the noise. On the positive side it accelerates like a rocket and corners like it's on rails. This car is just as quick as cars twice its price!
