Honda Accord Coupe 2.2i ES 2d (1995/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Cheap, now in banger territory. Comfort and different looking for minimal money.
Costs
Low value car, reasonable insurance (despite group 17!), thirsty at 25-30 mpg. Rarely needs parts, some could be hard to acquire as this is a US model.

On the road
Driving
Definitely not sporty. Accurate steering, but not great handling. Torque steer, slow off the mark BUT remarkable v-tec performance at higher speeds.
Performance
Big, heavy car, slow off the mark BUT remarkable v-tec performance at higher speeds.

Living with it
Reliability
115 K, only tyres and exhausts - try that for impressive BMW!
Image
Better than saloon, still dubious - drive it for cheap long-distance cruising, smart but no looker.
Comfort
Most comfortable and spacious coupe I have ever owned, far better than Prelude or Celica if you can live with the 'executive' feel.

Security and Service
Security
Excellent, alarm and factory immobiliser - VERY annoying to de-activate every time.
Service
I won't let Honda near it! DIY, they happily supply original parts when needed.
