I've been in the RAF for 8 years now and obtaining car insurance has never been an issue for me. Plus I also have colleagues with cars such as the Evo 7, Civic Type R, BMW X5 and even one with a Porche Cayenne, all never had problems with insurance.

My main enquiry was the practicality of the 5 doors over the style and image of the sportier Type S.

I've nearly made up my mind on the 5 door "Sport" spec (can you get the "image pack" with the 5 door), could any of you post up some pictures (other than the stock Honda ones) of your lovely looking 5 doors to prove how they CAN look sporty / stylish. either that or direct me to threads that contain your pictures.

Great pics, cheers.

Mainly going on the premise of having this car for years and years (otherwise I would not be spending so much money on a car) I think it will be more practical for me to go for the 5 door as my daughter is only going to get bigger and will be getting in and out of the car herself before I know it.
