I had a knocking from the NSF, especially when going over speed bumps or turning left. The garage have finally replaced the shock absorber (on that side only - a source of irritation), and it has stopped - for now. The OSF is also knocking over speed bumps, but not as obviously as the NSF.

The handling on my 1.8 ES is completely crap though. I find it understeering on corners, me having to steer harder through the corners and on roundabouts. The courtesy car I drove was much better, even though it only had 16" alloys (mine are 17"). I believe the road-holding should be better with 17" and am arguing accordingly with Honda. The ride and road hold has been getting worse ever since the dealer started playing with it.
