What do you think of the car? I ask because I've just started looking at these to replace my company car.

boxxer no idea, i will ask my bro what site, as i had it has B'day pressie pmsl.
Paul, i think they are cracking cars out of the box that love to be rev. Though im a big fanny and dont go into Vetc that much pmsl. They handle so well!! Its a car which you can have a laugh in and know its more or less bullet proof. Honda are good aswell if u get a car which is still under warrenty. They sort a few niggle little thing straight away, and even said i can have to brand new alloys as laquer has started to come off two of them! so im happy.
The bad side to the car, the power steering is crap! one min its hard and the next its soft. Also its not that good feel back through the steering. But other than that they are cracking little cars mate.

That's what I thought although I have heard about a recall for the steering rack to solve that, is that right? 
The main reason for buying one of those is because of the reliability and I have heard that they handle well
Do you know what you can actually do to them that actually does produce more power because I know that Hondas aren't that easy to tune.
Thanks

BTW, do you foam, then wash as usual? does it take off any wax at all?

Yes mate foam first, just takes a lot of the grim of, then rinse and wash as usual.
Paul i think the rack is when its noisey etc. This is fine, just because the steering is electronic its a bit crap imo and the poor steering is known on them. Oh and the steering lock is terrible!!! lol
Other than that amazing. Make sure you get one with AC too.
Mods well usual filter exhaust, though you can bolt on a super charger kit which they reckon is getting 300bhp but im not sure as havent really looked into it.

Yeah it eletric, its not to bad when driving the worst is when parking or moving in tight spaces, one mind you will find the steering is very stiff then next min goes light as fook Does my head in! Thoughts only really grumble with it, and it can be quite noise in the car at 40mph after that it starts to quite down a bit. Obviously not cruise quite though. Was quite a shock after going from the BMW lol.

Looks nice mate, first time I have really seen pics.
One of the guys on my course at uni had a black 02 model and I was quite impressed with it. He bought it with the super charger option in mind as his mate had it done to his. This was down in Bournemouth as I am sure there can't be that many going around with that bolted on!

Friend of mine paid £5k for a turbo conversion by prism motorsport, I went to interpro for its first rolling road, and it gave out a massive 205bhp!!!!!
He then proceded to write it off at 100mph in the city centre!!!!

Ah so that was what was holding it back. I know the car originally didn't have an intercooler which was worrying but I would have expected it to be better.
I know you know what you're doing so I guessed there was something wrong somewhere. I just thought it was due to the compression ratio. He said it was much much better after you touched it so I dread to think what it was before!
