Summary:
Great car/suv, I love it and would not choose any other car. You have to drive one to appreciate it
Faults:
Nothing has gone wrong with this car, the only thing I wish the headlights were brighter. though acceleration is adequate when passing the engine can get a little noisy but, it's less than id expect from a 2.4 166 hp engine so its no problem. there is a little more wind noise with windows shut then my old 2002 civic.
General Comments:
This car is great. I love it and highly recommend it. this was my first SUV after owning a car a van and a sports car. It is very good on gas and at the same time the 2.4 166 horsepower engine is more than adequate. I am still surprised at the acceleration on this compact SUV... its hard to even call it an SUV, because it drives exactly like a car. the interior is very nice especially with leather, and man... there is A LOT of cargo room, especially if you move the rear seats up which only takes seconds. The handling is great, the car looks unique and I've had a few people actually come up to me and tell me I had a nice car. im not sure why a lot of people think it is a girl car, I think it suits the needs of males and females. Overall if you have a small family of if you are a young single male like me, this car is a great choice that will not only please you, but also keep you happy for years to come, as Honda's are known for their reliability. My tenant has a 16 year old 1992 Honda civic with 292 km and it is in amazing condition. So I look forward to having this for a long time. Id give this car an overall rating of 8.9/10. looks: 9 comfort: 9 reliability: 9 Fuel economy: 8.4 controls 9 Value 9.3 braking 9.3.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
