I bought my Activa almost 4 and a half years back. And it has been a smooth ride ever since :-).Activa is a high quality product from Honda which offers you a comfortable and smooth ride with easy handling. I have hardly had any trouble with my Activa in all these years. The only time I take it to a Honda dealer is for getting it serviced. It has ample space under the seat and also under the handle bar to store all your purchases. It has decent shock absorbers for a scooter and gives a decent mileage even in the horrible traffic of Bangalore. Just make sure that you get it serviced periodically (maybe every 4 months) to enjoy a trouble free ride.
