At first glance I was very excited to step into my new car. Driving it off the lot the first time, I just knew that we were meant to be together. The mileage was not too high, the paint job (blue) was to my liking and the price was perfect. When I had it out on the road it handled just like I would want it to. The acceleration pedal was tight so I did not have to push down too hard to get her to go. The brakes were quiet and perfectly reactive. The gas mileage was to my liking at 20 MPG. I am also a fan of Hondas in general because they are known for being a reliable company that makes dependable cars. I would recommend this car to any one of my friends. I have had it 9 years and it still runs smooth to this day. The only problem I had at the time I bought it was that it needed an oil change, but other than that one inexpensive inconvenience, it was the best purchase I've ever made.
