Asker, the Honda doesn't have 4wd so would fall out of your buying criteria and that alone.
I was just chatting to a guy with an R32 yesterday, he had just put on some Bridgestones I'd sourced him off a forum that had been removed from a new R. We were discussing the fact that all the UK cars seem to come with that brand and were trying to guess why.
I wonder if it has anything to do with VW's own testing and the fact that UK buyers don't tend to have winter and summer tyres so maybe the Bridgestones meet some criteria as an all year round tyre? Clutching at straws here.
