I've driven the 1.4 twice now while my diesel's in for warranty work.That'l be 3 times on thursday
My thoughts on the 1.4 are firstly,you are getting a lot of sporty looking car for a smallish engine.Shame Honda can't be bothered to put fake exhausts at the back.'Alloy wheel trims' don't look too hot either.
The car drives really nice and light,reacts quickly to the steering wheel and rides the bumps very well.The engine's nice and smooth cruising,but to me a bit unrefined,almost from a previous generation when accelerating.
The small engine really gives itself away climbing hills,the body's a bit too heavy for that kind of work-at least where I live.Interesting choice,the car does look nice on the driveway and gives the impression of being so much more of a performance car without the running costs etc
