Default Honda Accord

Considering one of these as an everyday car.
Thinking of a manual 2.4L petrol with s/r and sat nav, 1-2 years old.
Anyone owned/driven one similar, if so whats the verdict?

i've had a 2003 2.4 type s for the past year and have been very happy with it. for a car weighing 1500kg it should really have more than 190ps but for me it is quick enough.

as a daily driver it is excellent. well balanced, loads of grip, reasonable steering feel, decent brakes, a well laid out cabin and spacious interior. it's not quite as good round the twisties as my old ctr but reckon it has a better overall balance whilst having the added benefit of being an excellent motorway cruiser and having a decent equipment list.

fuel wise i've been getting arround 25mpg during everyday conditions and 34 on the long haul.

as a guide i bought mine privately for £12750 with 12 months warranty remaining and 22k on the clock. should be able to pick up a 2 year old one at a stealers for arround £13-£14k.

hope this helps

Thanks 03-CTR for your impressions on this car, anyone else?
How much do you think I should be paying for a 2.4L exec, 1-2 years old?
If anyones got one of these whats the sat-nav like and how well does the bluetooth work?
