Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The old model has gone now, but you would be forgiven for exclaiming: "Honda What?" So you can play catch-up, the Stream is a mid-sized people carrier that used to seat seven at a pinch. Honda has decided to reduce the number of seats on offer, so that the revised model now takes just six bodies.
When's it going?
The old model has gone now, but you would be forgiven for exclaiming: "Honda What?" So you can play catch-up, the Stream is a mid-sized people carrier that used to seat seven at a pinch. Honda has decided to reduce the number of seats on offer, so that the revised model now takes just six bodies.
What's good about it?
According to Honda, the Stream is the world's first "performance MPV". It is certainly a satisfying driving experience. In the handling department, where people carriers usually flop about, the Stream keeps its line. There is lots of grip, the steering is direct and lets you know what the vehicle is up to. Under the bonnet is a 154bhp VTEC with sparkling performance. Getting to 60mph takes under 10 seconds and top speed is 127mph. There is a lot of headroom, with the middle seats sliding for increased legroom. The equipment is pretty comprehensive with ABS brakes, four airbags, sunroof, remote locking, electric mirrors and alloy wheels.
What's bad about it?
The point of a people carrier is to carry people, and some would argue that the Stream compromises too much in this area. The second row only contains two proper seats. The rearmost seats are cramped and difficult to get to.
How much?
At buyacar.co.uk a Sport SE was £15,995, a saving of £1,018, while buyyourhonda.co.uk claimed they could save £1,400 on a 2.0 SE Sport, taking the price down to £15,500.
Any snags?
No, it is, after all, a Honda. Well put together and no problems reported.
