The old Ballade looks and was 10x better! The old Ballade is an absolute classic!

better? probably... better looking? hell no, those old hondas look crap

That was the last decent Ballade.
Top spec was the 180E Luxline pushing out 110kw in the 1996 model. Even the 1.5 encore was more decent than this new piece of rubbish being billed as a Ballade. It is awful.
Honda has gone backwards. Compare the materials used. Cheap and nasty compared to the old model
