A True All-rounder , a classic example of great engineering and R.n.D

Exterior

Great aerodynamic design, typical japenese cone shaped nose, Love the side profile the most, looks longer than it actually is(less than polo). Superb tail lamps. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interiors are thoughtful, ergonomic, classy. Fit and finsh not upto mark for me. Space wise i really dont have to say anything it outclasses most of the midsized sedans, forget the hatchbacks they dont even come close to it. Seats are adequate not the most comfortable though. But magic seats!! ohh boy!! it takes the practicality levels to a different level all together.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Great flexible engine. Good at both sedate city roads driving, or take the free reving engine for a track day it wont dissapoint you one bit!! You may feel avaibility of torque is not adequate at times but once you get a hang of how to use the engine potential and gear ratios its a great car. Sleek gear box add all the more fun.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Not seen a better 'Fine balance' between ride and handling at this price point. Preicise Handling, Great steering feedback, Well weighted steering not too light nor too heavy. Adequate braking power and Pretty good ride quality, takes poth-holes or rough terrain in a typically Hondas pecuiliar way. you want a better ride and handling balance than this you may buy a Laura or even better a BMW please.

Final Words

If you want a car that can take you to office everyday, this is the car(good ride,good manuverability, good fuel efficiency). If you want a car to go for  weekend or outsattion trips with family, this is the car for you(ample space for passengers, big boot and magic seats!! carry your whole world with you) If you want to go for a fast highway Dash then believe me few hatchbacks can even come near the road manners of this car, polo may be. its been 6000kms with this car for me, Every morning i just cant stop loving the interiors of the car, Ergonomic and thoughtful interiors. Fit and finish is not bad but i feel can be improved.

All in all an Excellent ALL ROUNDER.

Areas of improvement  

 Couple of things 1st the obvious is the torque, and 2nd Interior fit and finish.

 

 

Its best in class at fundamentals of a car like engine, ride, handling, aerodynamics, Space, which mTorque is not on tap always, you need to work with gears for enthusiastic style of driving.
