I just received my new Honda last week (first time Honda owner) and I love it. Five speed manual is smooth and engine is peppy. Nice gas mileage so far. The navigation and handsfree link (Bluetooth) is exceptional. She understands my commands and executes them accordingly. The USB connection for a thumb drive or iPod is really convenient and you can control everything from the wheel. I just wish it had some of the features Sync has with its Fords. Overall, a nice little car.
