I bought the vehicle back in February of 2012. First of all, I liked the vehicle because it was a Honda, as I am a big fan of Hondas. Secondly, I previously owned a Honda Civic (it was a 1997 stick shift) so I was leaning towards getting the same model, only a newer year. Thirdly, it had a sport car feel to it so that aligns with my personality.

It is a great vehicle. Plenty of power for the size and price with the turbo engine. The interior is well laid out and seems high quality. There are no rattles to be aware of. The technology of the car is top notch. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come in the trim. Honda sensing is useful on long trips or anytime there is a lot of traffic. I really enjoy being able to use CarPlay to have Waze navigation on the built in screen. Features like heated seats and a moon roof make me feel like it's a luxury car. I do wish that the car would remember the settings of the heated seats so that the seat heaters would turn on when using the remote start on cold mornings. There are a couple of minor issues that have crept up in the time I have had it. One is that there is gloss black everywhere in the interior. It is hard to describe just how difficult keeping the car clean is. Another is that a squeak has developed in the drivers seat. I need to take the seat apart and see what it is. Other owners have reported that the foam in the seat sometimes gets out of place causing the squeak. Finally the windshield seems to be a rock magnet. I have never had a car that had been hit with so many rocks as this one. I have already replaced the windshield once and I suspect that I will have to do it again before too long. Also the OEM tires that come on it are terrible, but that's an easy (although expensive) fix.
