I have already owned the 2.4S petrol version and whilst the new diesel lacks the acceleration, the difference is negligible once you are on major roads at cruising speed. Fit out and spec is first class with so many extras coming fitted as standard. My only complaint is around the heating and in particular, the time it takes to de-mist the windscreen in winter. All in all however, a delight and as usual with Hondas, very reliable.

This is my 3rd Accord and the new model is a delight in every way, it feels like a large premium car. I am having one persistant niggle, the cabin suffers from wind noise around all the door seals, the garage have assured me this has recently been brought to Honda’s attention and when enough customers complain a recall will be effected. It’s a real nuisance and spoils an otherwise thoroughly great car. The seats are a revelation in comfort.

Brilliant car to drive. It sticks to the road and grips very well in twisty corners like the proverbial ’s**t on a shovel’. Amazing fuel economy for a large powerful engine, I’ve seen figures of up to 45 mpg being returned. The auto ’box is superb, it’s extermely smooth and responsive. It works best when it’s being driven hard in the tiptronic mode, that’s where you can really exploit that amazing VTEC engine all the way up to its sky-high rev limit of 7500 rpm. It is extremely quiet when all you want do is cruise on motorways. It is so quiet in fact that you sometimes forget how fast you are actually travelling, I’ve seen the car cruising at 110-120 mph (not intentionally) with very little noise and quite a bit of power in reserve. Sixty miles per hour from a standstill comes up in 7.2 seconds. As far as I’ve read, the car can easily exceed its advertised 140 mph top speed and reach speeds of around the 145-147 mph mark (as some magazines have recorded). All-in-all, the Accord is an amazing car. It is extremely reliable with only one fault, squealing/hesitant brakes. But, this is due to extremely high milage and the car is due to be replaced at anytime. Apart from that, I’d recommend this car to anybody who is looking for a medium-sized alternative to your usual Mercs, Audis and Beemers. With the mentioned Germans, you are only buying the badge and everything that’s standard on the Accord is an extra on the German’s. Therefore, nothing can beat Japanese reliability and value for money.
