Faults:

Required a new ignition switch.

General Comments:

Classy. probably the best small car ever made, and years ahead of its time.

Surprisingly spacious, and an elegant interior and mpg figures to die for. Ten years after it was built, other manufacturers are still playing catch-up.

Previously owned a diesel Civic, and while it was the most reliable of cars, it lacked the panache and prestige of the baby Audi.
