. Lively performance

Con's :- More rattles than mothercare
. Poor and noisy suspension
. Too many things just not quite designed right.

Overall, I would say that it might make for a fun drive, but if you prefer a more sedate, quality car, then no.
Agree totally. If you want the quality Honda were known for providing in the past - forget it.

On the pro's side - I would add excellent ergonomics

On the Cons I would say the build quality, materials and suspension refinement are well below par. Be aware all the nice looking when new shiny 'aluminium' inside is in fact PLASTIC. Customer service from Honda UK is dreadful. Dealers vary by all accounts from good to bad.
