I just love this car. It's small and living in a city, I'm able to find parking everywhere. It's also very spacious inside, much more than other cars I looked at the were about the same size. It gets great gas mileage and when researching to buy a new or used car, it holds its value. All the seats inside the car go flat easily so I have a lot of room if I buy something big or need to haul a bunch of stuff.

This is a compact car with fog light feature, a plus in an always foggy San Francisco Coastal Area. This is a rather economical model (i.e. entry level) where most of the added features were sold separately. At the time of purchase, there were a shortage of supply from Honda's Japanese manufacturing site and a wait list if custom color was picked. I had to visited several Honda dealerships in the Bay Area in order to purchase the car I wanted. The insurance quote for this car is incredibly lower than similar compact size cars in the same price range because of it anticipated safety features. It has very good fuel mileage, decent truck size with ability to flip down the rear seats for additional cargo area. The potential drawback is that rear cargo view is open, so no valuable should be placed there when car is parked in the parking lot. Also, because of small size, the battery capacity is smaller than typical car, so one needs to pay attention about going a little further distance in order to maintain the battery's efficiency.
