Well picked the car up, very long day saturday but pleased to say the car seems to be 100% genuine - in fact aside from some slight kerbing she looks like a new car.
Over the weekend I've probably done 300-400 miles and although the ride was firm I didn't have any aches/pains over that mileage. On the motorway she's smooth, obvioulsy on bad roads you do feel the bumps but the suspension feels very tight and cushioned. I'm a big lad and I have loads of room - the seats are actually comfortable to sit in and grip you well - though the head rest does feel like a board. Performance wise, it takes a while to get used to revving her so much as you naturally want to change gear when the engine starts getting loud - and then you miss the vtec kicking in, but when it does the car feels very capable. Plus the speedo makes me feel like Knightrider Overall very happy with her. Okay doesn't have the raw power of my 370z but she's stylish (IMO) the build quality is superb (doors softly click shut), the interior is geared up to the driver and is awesome AND - I can not only fit my large dogs in the cavernous boot but also can likely fit two mountain bikes (not at same time as dogs), the car looks small on the outside but with the seats flat its like a van. Love it so far. Averaging 32mpg which is good seeing as I'm pushing her quite hard at the moment. One very scary moment, spent 4-5 hours walking around Torquay as we got there early for a mini-day out...I left my rucksack full of a large amount of cash in a restaurant!! Luckily remember after about 50 meters and it was still there, heart attack moment though. |
