Question anyone got one of the new accords?

part of my on going day dream about what i might buy if i decide to lash out on a better motor. quite like the look of them, and the 2.2 diesel lump is supposed to be a good 'un. anyone driven or own one?

I'm seriously considering one as my next company car (got an A3 TDi atm). I test drove a 2.2 i-ctdi Sport last week and was very impressed. The engine was amazing, there was only the slightest rattle at start up, but after that it was quiter than most petrol engines I've driven. It was quick too, 140 bhp and 340Nm torque.

Interior was well laid out if a little dull and it had part leather sports seats which were nice, and dual zone climate control.

The website is a bit pants, but the brouchures from the dealers are good, and mine was giving out a reprint of a Dec 03 group test in which the Accord came out favourably against a BMW, Merc, Alfa, and Mondeo.

Cheers

Steve.

cheers, steve.

honda interiors have always been on the spartan side, but that doesn't particularly bother me. the spec sounds good enough. not like BMW, where the options list soon turns a £20k car into a £30k car.
