The current ones are generally driven by fat spotty web designers

The one i mentioned had to be towed to Honda garage as the immobiliser wouldnt er.... mobilise

Dont know if this was a common fault or a freak occurence but it wouldnt do feck all

Also heard you cant tow them backwards, something to do with the flow of oil round the gearbox, towing it backwards fucks it big time (urban pub myth maybe)

The engines are nigh on bullet proof but after driving a turbocharged car they just feel like your driving a sewing machine. The are deceptively nippy though and the bizare gearstick position is surprsingly easy to get used to.

Dare I say it, but I quite like them.















Well for Jap crap
