Honda’s mainstay model is produced in 3 and 5-door body shells, with a selection of engines and transmissions, and like its smaller stable mate Jazz, displays a higher degree of interior flexibility that generates considerable client satisfaction.

Recent upgrades towards the styling (new lights, revised bumpers) have helped keep your looks fresh, and also the range continues to be added to through the Type S, which slots in between the mainstream petrol models and also the stunning hot hatch Type R; that latter car may be the fastest-accelerating car in its class.

Also new is a stunningly good diesel engine, finally rectifying the one omission in Honda’s small car range.
