Great fast and practical

I owned this car from new until it was written off by a careless driver who cut me off. In general this was one of the most reliable cars that I had ever owned (8 yrs of ownership). The car was spacious and had a large boot. Every time I engaged VTEC it put a smile on my face. The car was like new until it was written off, I still miss this car. On the negative side, I had to replace the pedal box and master cylinder as the clutch was clicking (this was a known issue), this burnt £700 in my pocket. The alarm went wrong too, another known issue but luckily replaced under warranty. The ride was very harsh and unforgiving, its very tiring on long journeys. I loved the seats and modern hi-tec look. All in all a good car, I now drive a Mercedes SLK, and the build quality is far more superior, saying that its not with its faults either.
