If it's not premature to say, it's probably the 2nd best car I've ever owned after the 2007 Civic, in terms of build quality "feel" & mechanical condition. Touch wood.
I wouldn't disagree with any of that. Bonus: timing chain is said to last the life of the car!

Ironically enough I found a couple of Metros with three bangers and stick the other day.

Anyway, good luck! Stick with it and I think you'll really like your "new" car.
