Wheel trims are very brittle - club one on a kerb and it's toast. Not expensive to replace at 15 quid, but a pain nonetheless.
Remote central locking has no range.
Door trim rattles if the front window is up.
Nicely made, although the wood trim across the dash is a bit tacky.
Needs to be spinning at 4000rpm to go anywhere - 1400cc is not enough for a car this size. Could have had a 1.6 VTEC SR for the same price, but it was 18 months older and twice the mileage.
Suspension seems to amplify the bumps quite a bit.
I know what you mean about the remote central locking having no range. On mine I have to physically aim the remote at the receiver. The performance is unbelievably slow at low revs, but when you really rev the VTEC it absolutely charges.
I agree that the door trim rattles with the window up. There was a repair done on the door, so I thought it was a dodgy repair job, but it looks like it might be more common.
I find that just lowering the window a little (so it isn't in contact with the door), will stop most of the rattling.
