Honda Accord Coupe (1994 - 1997) 2.2i ES 2d Auto (1997/P) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

huh? I guess it says that I am Captain Sensible but don't want anyone to find out. I think the coup body, fools people into thinking that I am an adventurous, sporty, dare-devil sort. I am wrong.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

I don't talk to my neighbours but i reckon they love the look of the Honda. Only those that see it regularly love it. Its shape really grows on you. My friends really like it, as it is very comfortable to be in. My family also like it. We had it for over five years.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. I sold it last year and have had nothing but trouble from a selection of BMWs. When I'm done posing and buying unreliable, posh cars, that break my heart, i will go back to Honda. They're like your dog; they NEVER let you down. I would go for the coup again too, so as to avoid instant fall asleep, which happens to me, when i see Honda saloons.

What are you likely to buy next?

I am small man - more BMWs. Maybe a Honda, if I ever use my brain whilst selecting future cars.

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£5,000

When did you buy the car?

January 2001

Did you get a good deal and why?

Don't know. My Dad bought it. I got it as a hand-me-down!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Smooth and comfy. Not slow, per se, but no sports car. Once it gets going, it's adequately quick. Nail it at the right time and it WILL move. Auto box thinks it knows best - it doesn't. Overall though, the auto does suit this car very well.

What's it like to park?

Grand. Quite long, but.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing. Did I say nothing? I meant NOTHING!!! hang on, I think it blew a bulb once...

What's most practical about your car?

Enormo-boot. Coupe body is not ideal for practicality. However, it is spacious inside.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Leather and A/C. Leather for obvious reasons, A/C for a firm stance of "now ive tried it, I can't live with out it"
