Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
The car is often overlooked, so its a bargain to buy used. Not as cheap as a Mondeo, but then its not the same level of car.
Costs
Parts cost a lot, but are usually very good quality. Cambelt change: £220(dealer), front discs £50 each, sparks £20. 30mpg, 400 miles on a tank

On the road
Driving
Very well mannered, easy to throw around, very little body roll.
Performance
Sharper than average, but a 1.8 family saloon is never going to rip. Vtec helps after 4500 rpm, feels almost like a fast car at that point.

Living with it
Reliability
Nothing has ever gone wrong.
Image
Not an Audi or a BMW, but not far off. Looks pretty tidy in my opinion, especially with factory alloys. Understated, refined elegance. Just like me.
Comfort
You can sit in it all day without your butt grumbling too much. Not too much legroom in the back, but still not too bad.

Security and Service
Security
Who's going to break into a Honda accord? No-one. Chavs don't go near it.
Service
Only used them a couple of times, expensive but good.
