Great Q Car

Fabulous car for the money, engineering in depth and fiendishly complicated and technically advanced, it will drive and brake itself, comfortable, fabulous build quality but main dealer clearly concerned at complexity. Very few sold around £40k new and value now low because the public don't understand how good they are. I have spent over £2k getting cosmetic blemishes fixed and new LED driving lights as originals not functioning. Find a good auto electrician for the technically demanding bits and a Honda dealer for the routine, most have full Honda histories because servicing costs are cheap, its a Honda after all. It is an understated car which looks invisible to the other punters but 4wd and 291bhp with a smooth auto box means it can dispatch mere mortals with ease. Everyone just thinks its an Accord, it is very big and is bigger than a Mondeo estate so front and rear sensors and a reversing camera are essential to avoid trim damage. many small parts are no longer available. Buy one and enjoy but be warned it likes a drink 22mpg on shorter commutes 33mpg on a long run if you keep the speed down.
