Advice to buyer:
Detailed review:	I bought this car for the engine, and it has not disappointed me. Even in poor conditions my gas mileage never drops below 21 mi/gal. On the highway I have made 40 mi/gal. My one complaint about this car is that the windshield wipers work in their own way. At times I cannot turn them off. Other times the intermittent wipers get stuck at regular speed. I have had the dealer look at this, but their diagnostics show no problem. They have asked me to come in when the problem occurs, but as a working single parent that is not feasible. I had the rear windows tinted as the sun reflections impeded my view out the back without it. It is worth noting that I had to replace the original tires at 25,000 miles. Honda would do well to develop a hatchback version of this car. My ideal would be a Civic engine in a Fit style vehicle.
