Review:
Fiabilité, plaisir de conduite, accélération très surprenante ( trans. manuelle),
faible consommation essence.
Après plus de 7 ans de vie commune (de conduite) elle me surprends toujours!

Review:
J'ai passé deux longues semaines avec ce véhicule, je vous fait par de mes observations:

Esthétique : pour l'extérieur, j'ai bien aimé l'avant du véhucule, la plus récente version des phares/antibrouillards lui donne un air plus sportif/aggressif. Pour ce qui est du reste de l'extérieur: c'est une Civic, pas plus compliqué que cela.

Esthétique intérieur : Je possédait une Mazda 3 et je dois avouer que la M3 est de loin supérieure en qualité et originalité. L'intieur me rappelle ma vieille Civic 1988... avec plus d'options par contre.
La finition est cependant irréprochable comme dans tous les produits Honda de l'intérieur à l'extérieur.

Tout l'équipement est présent, ne vous en faites pas, comme je l'ai mentionné précédemment, l'instrumentation date du siècle dernier ainsi que les commandes placées un peu nimporte où (cruise, toit ouvrant, miroirs.) L'esgonomie est quelconque par la faute de cette dernière remarque.

Le système de climatisation automatique est très partique et fonctionne très bien, j'ai été agréablement surpris. Le radio est, le moins qu'on puisse dire bas de gamme.

L'accessibilité est convenable pour un véhicule de ce type, cependant, l'espace est restreint à l'avant, il me manque environ 1 pouce pour que mes jambes aient l'espace nécessaire. L'arrière donne l'espace auquel on peut s'attendre pour cette catégorie, restreint. L'espace de chargement est correct sans plus ainsi que l'accessibilité mécanique.

Les sièges n'offrent pas de support lombaire, l'assise est trop basse (on peut l'ajuster mais en sacrifiant sur la distance du volant, alors lorsqu'on est grand, on est assis bas) et de plus ils ne sont pas assez rembourrés.

La suspension filtre bien les imperfections de la route, l'insonorisation cependant est celle d'une voiture de 15,000$ et non pas d'une de 25,000$.

La direction est très précise comme dans tous les produits Honda, la tenue de route est correcte; la voiture reste stable dans les courbes mais il ne faut pas trop la pousser cependant car l'arrière peut vouloir aller dans une autre direction. Le freinage reste fiable tant et aussi longtemps que l'on n'effectue pas trop d'arrêts répétés.

Le rendement général est au niveau d'une Civic, soit d'une voiture frugale, la consommation est très intéressante et en conséquence au prix de l'essence actuellement. L'accélération est vive les reprises se laissent attendre car la transmission automatique tend à hésiter lorsqu'on la pousse (j'aurais grandement préféré une manuelle)

Les différents systèmes de sécurité sont aussi de la génération précédente. Vivement une nouvelle version: la EL est une voiture qui m'a été prêtée le temps entre la vente ma Mazda 3 et l'arrivée de ma nouvelle voiture (TSX.) Je dois vous dire que ma voiture précédente était sur TOUS les points supérieure à cette Acura bon marché. Faites ce que j'ai fait, achetez vous une Mazda 3 GT groupe GFX avec le cuir et vous ne le regretterez pas, garanti. Questions commentaires? awjf@hotmail.com
