Overall reliability
Economical and comfortable, plenty of space
Very robust, economical and reliable - other than an intermittent fault with the turbo / boost valve (currently under investigation, but having read a few forums I understand is not uncommon). Good load space, fully folding rear seats and good driving seat / steering wheel adjustment and a decent tow-car (small loads, not a caravan!). It has huge blind spots at the front but once you know they're there, you get used to peering round them.
Unfortunately the two Honda dealers I have been to are downright rude, won't tell you (or perhaps just don't know) anything, and then try to rip you off!
