Much the same as the post 05 CTRs I'd imagine.

Depends on your idea of comfort, it's not like sitting in an X5 and cruising along but comfy enough. Some find it a hard ride, personally as a driver I find it comfortable.

Bit of road noise but you get used to it or turn up the stereo.

MPG depends on how you drive it, loads of hitting vtec all the time obviously uses more fuel. On average probably around 30 mpg roughly.

Solid as a rock, very little goes wrong with them, ever!

Head over to the Owners forum for more info.

Comfort and noise - depends on your benchmark.

They certainly aren't overly hard or loud, just not as refined as cars built for road-only use.

MPG, as Catz said, depends on how you drive them. If you drive economically, they can get over 30 mpg easily.

On the track, constantly in iVtec, you could probably half that figure.
