HELP! Why am I tempted to buy this?

OK. Think I've finally lost my marbles......

The larger wheels make it look better. And a remap would somehow make me feel better.

But still.....

I don't think it's too bad. Not sure about the interior colour, but that aside I think that's perfectly acceptable and a decent engine.

Better than my temptation last week anyway

Welllll, IF you do need an mpv, then at least it makes a change from the usual dullness that is Zafira, picasso and c max!!

Good engine in these and something a bit different from the usual choices.

I had a 2.2 8th gen civic. Worse car I have ever owned (and I owned a mk1 punto). Google Honda 2.2 diesel clutch. Saying that.... budget for a 3rd party clutch from cg motorsport and accept that the build quality is shocking (or at least on 8th gen civics it is)and its not a bad car. I also found the civic very uncomfortable, as have others I know, but presume the seats in this will be different

I'm surprised. I was thinking Honda = trouble-free motoring.

s_zigmond is right. It's not the same car but I had a 1.8 9th gen Civic the ride was horrible, squeaks and creaks everywhere. The driving position made me feel like I was driving a van, it was uncomfortable over long distances.

I opted for the petrol engine but you can remap the 2.2 diesel up to 190hp. But again, you'll need that clutch replaced, you'll get more friction at an ice rink.
