Honda Accord Tourer (2003 - 2008) 2.2 i-CTDi Sport GT 5d (Sat Nav + HFT) (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Practical. Japanese. Economical.

They're appalled at our reliability problems.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No. It went wrong on many occasions and the customer service has been very poor. Having owned Honda's for 30 years, it's gone downhill in a big way. I won't buy another.

Toyota! No more honda for us.

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Honda used to be wonderfully reliable. Sadly not so with this model.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Good acceleration. Steering is heavy. Low and difficult to see out of. Tough to reverse.

What's it like to park?

Difficult! it's long and has a poor turning circle.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes: Exhaust manifold cracked Fuel pump system - solenoid actuator Front fork failed from regular use Head Lights Air Conditioning Steering Alignment needs to be re-done every 6 months. Clutch fails prematurely.

What's most practical about your car?

I used to think reliability was the best thing about Honda. It certainly isn't too roomy like competitors. Fuel economy is good but offset by large repair bills.
