Also your thoughts on hondas infotainment system...yeah or nay
Thanks folks

The 1.4 is slow, the diesel would be much nicer to drive.

Not a big fan of the infotainment system in them but only had a quick go of it.

Wife owns a 1.4 petrol. Grand for around the city but would break your heart on the motorway or ever having to accelerate rapidly. Lovely car though imho.
