Great

* Honda's hybrid is one of the greenest cars you can buy
* Battery should last as long as the car
* It's a practical family car

Gripes

* Not enough oomph for motorway driving
* Engine noise is awful at higher speeds
* Jerky automatic can make pulling away rather hairy
DriveDrive rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Best to concentrate on the car's green credentials, and to stick to driving in town
 ReliabilityReliability rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Should be rock solid, but it's a shame the materials don't have the quality feel we'd expect
InsideInside rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Controls are easy to use, but watch out for the digital speedo which is easily concealed by the steering wheel. Rear visibility is awful
 SpaceSpace rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Lots of legroom, but sleek shape limits headroom. Shallow boot has more space than a Ford Focus's
SafetySafety rating - 5 out of 5 stars
Six airbags, traction and stability control are standard, along with plenty of security features to keep your car safe
 Standards and extrasStandards and extras rating - 4 out of 5 stars
All get climate control, alloy wheels, electric windows and steering-wheel mounted controls; upgrade for more treats
