I went for the Accord 2.2i-cdti Exec. It's got heated, electric, leather seats, sunroof, dual zone climate control, cruise control, 6 disk CD, auto wipers, headlight washers, 16" alloys, and fog lights all as standard. The Diesel Exec also get the uprated suspension from the Sport model.

It's not got auto dipping rear view mirror or trip computer which I do miss.

Cheers

Steve.

yep thats the one i've got on test. it also has an electirc sunroof.

17" alloys listed as another fiver a month.

I'm surprised its not got a trip computer, explains why i could not find it ! its also not got folding wing mirrors which i find useful....an option i'm guessing.

more surprising i feel is the fact it only has a 5sp box ? everything else in the class and below seem to be standard 6sp these days ??

but it does have a weird (imho) organ accelerator pedal hinged at the bottom not the top.

and the heated electric leather seats are very confortable.

so bring on the Golf sometime today....awaiting its arrival..........
