14,000 miles no problems or complaints so far, touch wood!
26 - 28 mpg on Shell V power .
never uses any oil, due 2nd service due next month.
warranty until May 12 and I shall then extend it for 3 years, worth the cost.
needs a new screen, to be fitted by autoglass tomorrow
rear tyres at 3mm so they need replacing in a couple weeks.

Never uses oil and since sorting out the geo and replacing the rear tyres a couple of weeks ago, drives like a dream.
But will be extending the warranty just in case, so suggest you do the same.

Wait until the 3 year warranty is up, then buy an extended one. Your dealer will almost certainly send you an application form when the time is near.
Don't pay more than £300 per year for it.

Bokkie's situation is ongoing, and redress is being discussed with Honda.
The engine issue that affected a small number of MY09 cars has been identified and can be easily cured under warranty.

So I'm guessing big end bearings,shells or crankshaft thrust washers
Bristol Honda are on the ball with the issues, sadly many other dealers aren't

The service manager Ian was very helpful and made a very refreshing change to the Honda dealers in this part of the country
Some cars have had a bootom end rebuild, others have had parts changed
My money is on thrust washers and crank walk
I am taking some spare batteries for my dealers hearing aid tomorrow although my issue may be unrelated
