    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A joy to drive with responsive steering and stiff chasis.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fun begins when V-tec kicks in which means a lot of floor throttle on an auto transmission.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    You won't expect any major reliability issues on the Accord, but small niggles like door rattling and air-con leakage can be very annoying.
