Good move, you could not have found one in better condition and it's that that adds the value. Keeping a good car nice is a lot cheaper than trying to bring a bad car back.

I haven't really had a chance to drive it much, but, as above really. Getting used to the slower rack, and it rides extremely well. Feels a lot more stable on bumpy corners, and cornering generally.
Will get a better idea once the geo has been sorted out next weekend.

That was quick!
Must be an odd feeling to drive a newer version of the car you've had for so long.
Hope you enjoy this one as much as you have the other one!

Before all the doom mongers come along:
- Yes, I am aware it's an MY09, so the engine could lunch itself at ANY MOMENT. I have 4 years' worth of Honda warranty.
- Yes, I am aware the tax is a couple of hundred quid a year more expensive
- Yes, I am aware it's DBW
- Yes, I am aware it has VSA which could fail at ANY MOMENT.
- Yes, I paid A LOT for it.
Congrats on the purchase though
Yeah, the rear end of >04 cars is a lot more 'stable' compared to those before it.

Hi LG,
Congratulations on lovely looking example.
When I bought my 09 I had the Honda dealer check the end float and provide written confirmation of result. Some of the 09 failures were attributed to thrust washers?
