My thoughts after 30 months and 69,436 miles:-
History: Bought at 2 years old, 1 previous owner
Purchased: From Honda franchise dealer on Mansfield (since bought out by Stratstone)
Servicing: First dervice done by Lookers, Derby. All subsequent servicing was done by myself, my
son Andy or a local independent trader / mechanic
Mileage on purchase: 22,508
Mileage on sale . . . ..: 91,944
Fuel consumption: 32.6 mpg (average over life of ownership)
Faults to date:-
- The only failure during ownership was a single headlight bulb.
Changes from standard specification:-
- Changed tyres to Avon ZZ3s which were a good choice for the Accord.
Front right quarter view - I like the puposeful look of the front.
Front left quarter view - Notice misted up headlamp.
Rear right quarter view - Remenisent of the BMW 3-series of it's time.
Rear left quarter view - not much more to be said.
Likes:-
- Ride and predictable handling
- Rear screen wash/wipe facility
- Nice big boot with convenient hatchback access
- Spacious and comfortable seating
- Large fuel tank and reasonably good range (420 miles)
Dislikes:-
- Lack of cruise control
- Lack of MP3 player facility on stereo
- High cost of main dealer servicing and frequency required (every 4,500 miles).
- Can't get headlight off without removing complete front bumper assembly
