The car is ok, it rattles a LOT and has lots of irritating noises. The seat is very hard and it's hard to stretch your legs out while driving. It really has the fit and finish of a base civic but you're paying 10k more just for the motor/struts/wheels/brakes/seats. Anyway, If you want something comfortable look for something else. I regret not getting an Accord. Slow as it was, it would have been so much better for daily driving and road trips. I should point out that I live in a city where it's almost impossible to drive faster than 40kph during the daylight hours.

The lease is pretty good on the car, I got mine for $330 a month. for the last 4 months they were offering a 1.5% lease rate. I think you missed out on it.
