Honda Stream
The Honda Stream is a wonderfully sporty looking MPV that isn’t short of space and is very easy to drive. The premier Japanese brand is known for creating exciting cars, and this is one of them. Geared towards large families, the Stream has 7 seats and quite a lot of interior space. The thing that separates this from other people carriers is that it handles like a car, and that makes it a whole heap of fun every time you get behind the wheel.
It has been flowing effortlessly since 2001, and a few different facelifts and generations have been released since. With 5 doors, it’s certainly practical, and the choice of front or all wheel drive versions mean there’s something for everyone. Some interesting features of the modern, high end RS-Z models include an F1 style paddle shift gearbox, anti roll bar and performance suspension…on a people carrier!
To be honest all versions of the Honda look rather tasty, the front diffuser on the original being particularly impressive. New versions though are bold, and have quite an intimidating presence. The front end is all ‘business’ like, and you get the impression the whole car has been designed with aerodynamics in mind. A 5 star interior gives you plenty of comfort, a significant level of kit and a very intuitive cockpit. It’s incredibly easy to get used to and makes driving a cinch. While the rearmost seats are probably best used only for children, the rest have more than enough leg room.
The driving performance is by far the standout feature of this MPV. It’s incredibly light on its feet and very agile in every situation; the sportiness is undeniable, and all the extra features of the higher spec versions really do come together to produce something awesome. It handles like a car and the ride is a quite forgiving too. And with some smart iVTEC engines available, it’s certainly not the slowest people carrier around.
It’s not silly to think that MPVs seem to grow on trees these days as they are everywhere. But buying a brand new one is an expense you really don’t need to face however because there’s a selection of quality used cars for sale at Motors.co.uk of almost biblical proportions. No matter what kind of car you’re looking for, the odds of finding it for less are firmly in your favour. With a second hand Honda Stream, you’ll be looking at an unadulterated bargain.
Plainly then, if you’re in need of a people carrier but don’t want something run of the mill, the Honda Stream is by far the best one to go for. Not only is it incredibly sporty in appearance, but it also drives superbly well and is obviously set up to deliver the maximum amount of fun. Driving an MPV doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your sanity, and the Stream gives you something to look forward too every time.
