Actually it's very difficult even to find parts for it

The Honda dealers "don't want to know" it's a Honda when you come in -- there were so few sold and such different mechanical components (and body panels). It took almost a year of hunting to get a new A pillar skin because they all fly off after windscreens are changed, due to special clips that break when disturbed, and the glass replacement guys never change...
(I eventually painted it to match)
And all the batteries are dying and dealer price $3000+ is more than the value of the car. I swapped mine for about $1800 I think.
It was kind of a scary job, actually, but only took a couple hours.
I got bumped once and 3 dealers sent me away because 1 Aluminum structure, 2 Aluminum skin, 3 big high voltage battery right behind the dent... Luckily I found a dent wizard who eased it out with no paint damage!
Tiny spare, smallest brake drum (smaller than 2CV), wimpiest coil spring on the planet. Aluminum scissor jack that can barely lift the back end of the car.
You've gotta love it!
