One year update. No unexpected issues during the first year. No oil dilution issue. Oil change done about a month ago at just over 8,000kms. Winter performance was decent, nothing ground breaking but it got me where I needed to go. Fuel economy for the year was 6.2L/100kms. If you look at the fuel economy pics you’ll see one picture of fuel economy from day one, the other shows from left to right, winter tire/cold months, summer tire/warm months, the trip from Ontario when I picked it up, and the far right I think was from the dealer to our hotel.
I still absolutely love this vehicle. I can only imagine how much fun a Type R or Type S would be. Could do a Hondata tune and get some more power but that won’t be until warranty is out in 6 years. Could certainly see myself keeping this long term. It’s light, nimble, efficient, comfortable, and just quick enough to make you smile. Absolutely no regrets about switching from the GLI to this.
