The engine is effective and doesn't do too much work causing maintenance worries. It also does a good job at preventing excessive gas usage. That's not to say there aren't some issues, while its durable for the most part, the outer cheap material is pretty heavy and if there's certain collisions on certain parts of the car it could cause some substantial internal damage. But for the most part the internals and their placement is adequate. This isn't an off-road car or a car that can handle jagged or rough pavement too well without a cut in it's speed, but even though it moves slow in these conditions it still drives pretty well. Weather isn't much of an issue, the exterior and interior is made to prevent snow and rain from damaging the car, and while driving it handles pretty well. Though it does lose control going more than 10mph on ice or downhill rain puddles. This is a pretty good entry-level vehicle that won't cause you many problems, especially in the city where it will do more than enough to meet your needs.

I bought this car in Spring of 2014 on a three year lease. It has moved a few states away with me and has been through both suburban driving and highway driving. It is reliable and I feel safe when driving it. For all of the features, the reliability, and the gas mileage, it is a great investment and one of the best cars on the market. I feel as if Honda has stepped up their game and has become a real contender for luxury brands. It is just a solid car that performs well no matter where I am driving it. It works well in the rain, in the snow, in the cold of winter. It's a great vehicle.
