Slight sqeak noise from the air conditioning and the right door.
Left passenger door handle stopped working after 1 year of use by me.
General but annoying rattling from the boot unit.
Dipped head lights are lousy.
Wipers, at high speeds in the rain are not reliable or powerful or heavy enough.
When a headlamp fuses - there is no warning indicator - simply dangerous.
Generally - this Japanese Import (1.5 Vtec VTi, 1493cc, ABS brakes, LSD, A/C, power steering, Honda trims, electric windows & mirrors) is a damn good, fast, economical, comfortable and great looking car.
Difficult to compare in order for a similar buy.
Nice car, but I would recommend going for the 1.6 VTi, which is a rocket, especially mine which cost me £1700, has had a few mods, and is runnig 175 bhp.
It glides about with the sound of a race car, so get one.
