Wasn't too sure about buying this make ( had my mind set on a Toyota Yarris or similar), but pleased I went with Honda - cheapest petrol eater I've ever had - does 14.5km per litre, heaps room for a 5 door hatch, and parts easily accessed in NZ if issues with it.Doesn't have all the flash gadgets of similar cars, but good stereo and air con - what more do ya need. Recommended.

I hope it isn't an automatic one. If its manual you got a really nice car

The kids have got room to move to move in this car, unlike many others. And room for their lunch boxes too.

Hey Im sorry if I come across as being negative but if you bought the car from a dealer I'd make sure you have a MBI (warranty) for three years on the car. The reviews on them as a NEW car are good. But the transmission is known to cause issues once it gets a few miles on it

it's all good - didn't think you was negative at all - but always wise to check things out before or after buying from a car dealer - ( esp with the 60 day warranty thing they have to comply by) - the one I got is 85,000 kms.

wazzat 60 warranty thing yer on about! CGA and SOGA can't be quantified like that. An 85000km car it would be reasonable to expect at least 6 months cover on. Or in better english.- You have a lot more than just 2 months cover under the current law. But even so I'd still stronglke recommend a 3 year MBI

I urge you listen to kaz, its not IF the trans starts clunking it WHEN. I service six Honda Jaz's /Fit's the only one which has either not had trans problems or is not currently clunking to some degree is the manual one. Great cars crap transmissions.

my 1991 1600cc nissan pulsar gets me 17 km/l
if thats city driving i guessits not too bad - but for a modern 1500 i would expect it to be better than that
