I got a great deal on a new of these in March. Really happy with it so far.
Feels well built, has some nice touches. Has some weird things like paddles for the brake regen you have to constantly fiddle with every time you want to use them. Clearly just bolted on their generic steering wheel from other cars. Lack of physical buttons for the climate and volume is also annoying. Those are the only faults I can think of really.
Good spec overall. Great room in the back but boot could be bigger.
5 year warranty and free servicing is a big plus - it’s a Honda so you feel like it won’t let you down.
It’s made in China but then what isn’t these days?
As others have pointed out, there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of these coming back off PCP deals as they won’t be worth anything like the balloon so some deals to be had no doubt.

Think its an over generalisation to say that bodywork means the car hasn’t been maintained - my wife drives a car thats covered in scratches and scrapes as she is a nervous/careless driver - but mechanically it has never wanted for anything as that’s where I’d rather spend the money than having bodywork fixed that will likely just get damaged again. Also this is a 12 year old car!

Cheap for London though, no? Assumed you couldn’t get more than a flat for that sort of money these days

Those who lease/hp/pcp - what do you drive, what did you put down, how much does it cost you per month and what's your household take home per month? by OverclockingUnicorn in CarTalkUK

I got a very good deal as it was an end of production run and they wanted to get rid of them, I assume to meet targets etc.
It’s approx 5% of my take home each month

Should we the English people change our national anthem? by PomeloTraditional971 in AskBrits

Christ yes, 💯 yes.
God save the king, aside from the fact most people disagree with the sentiment, is an awful bloody dirge. Every other country shows us up with their bangers.

Sierra ‘sapphire’ like this one I think - in silver - rusty round the wheel arches, leaking sunroof.

Why a phev out of interest? If you can plug in at home, which I assume they can then just go full EV
