I love my car much

It is a beauty. Everyone who sees it likes it. I make people jealous. It is shiny and smells nice. But it’s not fast enough to beat people in races. There is not enough room to take my whole family with me so I drive alone and it has nice speakers

5.0

just bought car today

I bought Honda because of its excellent reputation. I needed a car that was good on gas milage, affordable and reliable which is what led me to buy this car.

5.0

very stylish, economical

I really enjoy driving it. Very educational feedback on saving fuel. The body steel is stronger than most recent hybrids.
