Honda Accord Saloon 2.2 i-CTDi Executive 4d (17 inch Alloy + Nav) (2004/04) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent value when you consider the equivalent German models would cost loads more
Costs
Mines a bit heavy on rear tyres which seem to wear out in about 15,000 miles. Could do with longer service intervals as the standard 12,500 miles seem to fly by so quick
-
On the road
Driving
Good drive until you hit a rough bit of road
Performance
Qquick as it needs to be and has shed loads of torque, but gets there in a quiet manner.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Always starts, but have had some warranty claims so don't believe everything you read in the press. Its good, but not infallible!
Image
A great looking car which looks good amongst German marques, but beware of stone chips as the paint primer coat is thin(non-existent) and they will soon rust as mine is doing!
Comfort
Most comfortable driving position and excellent front seats that you can drive in for hundreds of miles in serene surroundings.
