Return to Honda

[aphybrid]

Hi everyone,
                  defected to Ford for 2 years with very nice to drive Fiesta ST Line X.
Having test driven a Crosstar was very impressed and comfortable. One of the things I found useful was the brake hold when stopped at junctions etc with no need to pull handbrake, set hill start etc, just the simple acceleration away makes life a lot better
Getting in and out compared to Fiesta of course much easier and the return to 4 doors much better.
I was in this forum many years ago and look forward to the help and guidance given by many.

Congratulations!   The Crosstar looks like a good option and that colour combo I think is very good - please do post an photo. I’ve just received the non-crosstar grey EX as that was the best option available for my price and timescale

Hello and welcome (back).

Welcome to the forum. 

Mrs W would like a Fiesta ST. She is a bit of a speed merchant, and the Jazz doesn't really do acceleration.

[Neil Ives]

I have no idea how they compare to a Fiesta ST but the MK4 has pretty good acceleration. It makes no fuss about it, unlike an ST.

[aphybrid]

The Fiesta ST is different driving style and the turbo makes an enormous difference to acceleration and driving 'sensation'
Much to recommend it, but I have decided I do not need that thrill which can easily lead you into scary bits!

[Kremmen]

Exactly my thoughts.

I've slowed down a lot over the last decade or 2 and  I prefer a smoother drive.

Honda reliability just adds to the pleasure.

Had the car now for 4 days and have a renewed liking for driving.

Made easy by this car's drive system, visibility and general comfort with a feeling of refinement thrown in.

The ease of motion, stopping and pulling away with no left hand or foot involvement together with the brake hold is a change that adds so much to the ease of driving.

Could say some things missing but overall such a delight to become a HONDA owner again.
