Comfort: Good interior design, comfortable to drive and ride in. I have taken many road trips and cannot complain.
Performance: The standard model has no "get-up-and-go". It takes a long time to get up enough RPM's to shift out of an already short first gear. Otherwise it handles decently & is a fairly smooth ride.
Fuel Economy: Driving in city everyday a tank of regular unleaded gasoline usually last 1-2 wks. Once on highway fuel economy decreased significantly.
Interior Design: Poorly thought out dash/radio. Many cracks & gaps for dust, food & dirt to get into. Arm rest poorly designed & not strong enough to withstand minor pressure. Good visibility while driving no need to turn too much to see blind spots.
Exterior Styling: You won't get any second looks driving this car down the road. An unremarkable looking car.
Reliability: If you have lots of money to put into this car then it's great! Within 5 years of ownership the ABS went, water pump, tie rod ends, piston valves, clutch, struts, rear brakes, e-brake all went and needed repair. Repairs totalling over $5000 in 5 yrs of ownership. If you blindly love VW's & have money to endlessly pour into repairs then this car is for you!

Comfort: I am 6 ft 3in tall and when driving this car my head will scrape against the roof even with the seat "sunk" as far to the floor as the electronic controls will allow. This problem does not happen when I'm in any of the passenger seats.
Performance: Excellent "get-up-and-go" shifts very nicely and handles with minimum effort.
Fuel Economy: I believe this to be advertised. I usually get 2-2.5 weeks out of one tank of gas with city driving everyday.
Interior Design: My problem with drivers seat comfort is reflected here but not as severely because otherwise the rest of the car is very comfortable. Visibility is also an issue sometimes especially with the rear window.
Exterior Design: I do not like that all recent Honda models have a large protruding trunk.
Reliability: I have, not once, taken this car to a mechanic except for regular maintenance.
