If I had a do-over I'd swap my 5sp manual for the CVT. At first I didn't like the CVT but I miss auto so damn much.

Commuter? Auto makes a big difference when you're inching along the Ben Schoeman, but the engagement of a manual is hard to replicate.

Suppose that is true, but you'd be surprised how easy it is not to miss the manual.
 
My next car I'm going auto I'm sick and tired of manual especially in traffic.
 
I have been driving for over a year now so probably my next car will be in the year 2020 that is when I will get auto.

FiestaST buddy do you have issues with Toyota Aygo, Citroën C1 and VW Up because the also have glass tailgate.

To this day I don't see anything ugly about Honda Brio beside the glass tailgate. I have been driving the car for couple of months now, the is nothing special about brio its a basic car that move you from point A to point B. One thing I like about brio it's a reliable little car it.
 
2018 Honda Accord Loses V-6 in Favor of New 2.0-Liter Turbo-Four

Honda announced that it will replace the V-6 at the top of the 2018 Accord’s lineup with a 2.0-liter direct-injection turbo-four tuned to deliver torque at very low RPMs. It will be paired with either a manual or a new 10-speed automatic. That means the new, 10th-generation Accord will have three available engines. Joining the 2.0T, which is a differently tuned version of the engine from the Civic Type R, will be the 1.5-liter turbo-four at the bottom of the range paired with a CVT or a six-speed manual. A hybrid Accord will have a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine.

The news was announced at a gathering of automotive media at Honda’s R&D center in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. Honda has generally always gone its own way with transmissions, shunning planetary gears. The 10-speed automatic breaks with this tradition and contains four planetary gear sets. This will mark the first time a 10-speed transmission has been used in a front-drive passenger car, Honda said in a release.

Honda Japan plant shuts for a day following cyber attack

Ransomware attack resurfaces as Honda shuts its Sayama plant for a day

The same WannaCry ransomware that attacked the NHS and other UK organisations brought Honda’s Sayama plant to a standstill this week.

The brand closed its plant for a day, reports Reuters, after the malware was found in its computers; Renault and Nissan were previously affected by the software when it came to the fore earlier this year.

Honda’s Sayama plant, which deals with the production of the Accord, Odyssey and Stepwgn, was shut in total for one day as Honda dealt with the issue internally.

The WannaCry software steals and encrypts files and documents, before demanding a fee of $300 (around £230) to de-crypt them. In total, around 75,000 systems in 99 countries are believed to have been affected; the majority of these were attacked during the same week in May.

Mike Ahmadi, global director of critical systems security at Synopsys, said: "A plant shutdown can cost millions of dollars per day in lost production and, in any event, is likely to far exceed the cost of the ransom. Attackers are likely to apply risk management techniques to their attacks going forward that will serve to help them get the most return for each attack.

“I am not saying this is what happened here, but once attacks become financially motivated, this becomes more likely. Organisations need to prepare accordingly."

A Honda UK spokesman said: "In the evening on Sunday 18th June, Honda discovered that the computer systems in several plants across the world were affected by the ransomware virus Wannacry. As a results, production of Sayama Automobile Plant in Japan were affected by approximate 1000 units. The recovery work was undertaken immediately, and the production at Sayama has resumed in the morning on 20 June. At this moment, there is no further impact confirmed, but we will continue to monitor the situation and take every step to further strengthen the security of our systems.”
