Just got my 2011 1.4 EX Manual in red a month ago as a first car few days after passing driving test. Utterly fantastic machine, wanted Honda because I own Honda motorbike and I’m used to working with it, have most Honda specific tools, greases, fluids etc so it made sense.
So far managed to rust-proof a lot of it with Acf50 and Corrosion Block, replaced all the bulbs to high spec upgrades like Philips +150%, Osram NB Laser etc, installed new Yuasa 054 340 CCA battery, new Toyo top tier tyres and so on.
I really enjoy working on it, drives great, burns not so much, is incredibly practical and saves me from harsh weather when I can’t use my motorbike
