        Excellent.  Hope you enjoy it.

        Very pleased with the fuel economy, trip computer showing average of exactly 50.0mpg over trip of 975 lmiles.

          Re: the ‘bong’s when you exceed speed limit and when it detects the speed limit changing are irritating at first.  And not found a way of switching them off.  After 500 miles have got used to them and can blank them out.

            Have only done 500 miles to date and not done a full tank to empty but will report back in about a month or so.

            The instruments show the battery regenerating a bit when using the braking foot pedal.

            But *seems* to regen more (moving the gauge further into the green zone) when using the regen alone.  You control how severe the regen braking effect is via the paddles and at maximum the effect is strong.

              Keep on eco mode, gentle acceleration and using the regen paddles to vary declaration I can avoid a lot of actual braking.

              Best ever was 13 miles trip which registered over 70 mpg on the trip computer.  Had a full hybrid battery and warm engine at start, so likely a one off.

              The seats may have the same frames? but the higher spec model with leather definitely has more compliant materials.  Had a one hour test drive and would recommend the leather seat model.

              This is the first car in 35 years driving that has less comfortable seats than a public bus.  And my car history includes some infamous 1970s British Leyland  monstrosities!

                I have a zrv sport model.  Picked up on 1st march 24.

                Would strongly caution anyone considering this to make sure you have a long test drive in the actual model.

                The sport model seats are rock hard and painful for me after any more than 30 minutes journey.  And definitely nothing like the seats on the more expensive model the dealers had available for test drives.

                Have had to buy a cushion – which is not ideal in a new ‘premium’ model.

                Dealer have investigated, reporting that the seat is not faulty and as designed.

                Bar the seat issue the car is very good, coming from a BMW X2 xdrive20i, the honda ride is similar, handling and performance is 80% as good.

                Fuel efficiency of the honda is twice as good. Easy to get 50 mpg +- 4 on the journeys I do with some care.
