Another design flaw i've just noticed is the mission you have to go through to get the headlight bulbs out! Actually i havent attempted to remove the bulbs as i found it too fiddley! (got condensation in headlight so need to let the air escape!)

 

worst

all the bits that that the 04 hasnt got.

 

Nope, already paid for the Exhaust, wheels and lowered, told them it was a cold air intake to get over the kangarooing problem not a performance upgrade and they were ok with that.

 

It's a sport's car you dont need one. You got a watch, mobile? they have clock's, most after market stereos have them too.

 

Thats what makes it good, misguided fool.

 

Lots of my dislikes have been covered, but this seems to have been missed:

Crap paint quality. Why Honda couldn't have used a thicker paint and/or clear coat is beyond me.

 

Good point. Way to easy to have a collection of stone chips!!

 

Something about their paint being more environmentally friendly then say a BMW I think, their paints are water based whereas BMW paint is oil based... something along those lines.

 

Now I've got one I thought I'd resurrect this old thread.

Likes:

Engine, handling, brakes, gearbox, look of the car from the rear and side, noise when you rev it (not as nice as the FTO though). Generally the driving experience.

Dislikes:

Look of the car from the front.

Slightly too cramped inside. At 6'1 I just about fit, but the wheel is too close to be comfortable on long trips (good for chucking it around though). Cue lots of people saying "I'm 6'5 and I fit fine".

No door pockets! And the interior compartments are too hard to get at whilst driving. Where do you stick your sunglasses/petrol receipts/other crap?

Stupid stereo controls and hidden stereo. Why? It's probably easier to reach the head unit than the controls by the wheel, and the controls by the wheel look naff. And surely hiding the head unit just makes people more likely to break into the car as they can't see if you've removed the front. Being able to see the HU would also answer the question about the clock.

I think the steering goes too light at low speed. It feels a bit like you're driving on ice, and with it being December I need to be able to tell if I am driving on ice or not.

I've heard so much about the fancy electric roof that it's a real disapointment to discover you have to manually clip and unclip it. "6 seconds" is a bit of a lie.

16" wheels are fine, but the standard tyre size looks way too chunky for this sort of car and spoils the appearance a bit IMO.
