Honda Accord Saloon Car Reviews

Derek Woodland, England

Honda Accord Saloon 2004

4 star review

Had my accord now for nearly 5 years, very happy with it, looks great after I added 18" alloys, with Michelin sport low pro tyres. I was disappointed when it went in for a service to be told I needed new rear pads AND discs, after only 20,000 miles. Still, nothing else has gone wrong, I treat my Accord very carefully and drive my wife’s Honda Jazz most of the time in town. I have an in built Honda sat nav and also a sunroof which I enjoy. I feel this car is very reliable at all times. The rear pads and discs has been the the only thing that has needed attention in five years, so I am happy with that.

Honda Accord Saloon 2.2 CTDI Executive 2004

4 star review

Ran this car for 3 years and found it good value, economical, but a bit lacking in soul! The engine was responsive and quick enough with a nice linear power delivery but still sounded like a diesel despite all the hype. Averaged 42-45 MPG, slightly disappointing but not bad considering my driving style and I found switching off the powerful aircon worth at least 2-3MPG on a long run. Had a problem with smoking on start up that was never fully resolved. If left to stand for more than a day used to emit a large puff of white smoke on start up. Suspect this was down to an oil seal in the engine but Honda never got that far into the investigation before I handed the car back. It used a couple of litres of oil between services which may have pointed to the problem although this was considered acceptable. The other issue I had was with the paint quality that was easily marked and small scratches were noticeable especially as my dark blue colour seemed quite thin which uncovered the undercoat. That said the car was 100% reliable over 70000 miles, had an excellent driving position, comfortable seats, was roomy enough for my family and well equipped with Sat-Nav, Sunroof, Leather Trim and in dash CD Changer. It handled well and was not too bad on tyres 20K for the fronts and 40K for the rears although the fronts did wear prematurely on the inside. The ride was very inconsistent sometimes good but never settled properly on the motorway. I suspect this was due to the 17" alloys fitted that greatly improve the looks but I suspect most of the development by Honda was done on the standard 16" wheels. That said the ride and handling were also noticeably better on the replacement Dunlop tyres compared with the original Bridgestone’s. All in all a stylish and reliable car with some niggly faults.

Honda Accord Saloon 2.4 TYPE S 2006

5 star review

Absolute brilliant car. The 2.4 Type S is the same engine as the Civic Type R so it is a wolf in sheep’s clothing but with the comfort of an executive car. It’s just coming up to 3 years old now and never had a problem. Looking at upgrading to the new model but only because I want what’s new.

Honda Accord Saloon 2.4 Executive 2003

4 star review

Without doubt the best car we have had, very responsive petrol engine with good fuel economy, fautless reliability and good interior. Although a tiny bit cramped in the back. We will be looking to get another when the time comes.

Honda Accord Saloon 2.2 diesel 2008

4 star review

This is not the cheapest car of its type but the refinement and meticulous attention to detail make light of the extra cash. Reliability is a byword of Honda’s and the performance is powerful yet quite and almost unnoticeable. Plenty of room inside with a good boot. I particularly like the Lane Keeping assistance that makes motorway driving far more relaxed. If you want performance, reliability, safety and a pleasing driving experience then the Accord offers all this and more.

Honda Accord Saloon ex 2.0ivtec 2007

4 star review

Had this car for three months now. Good points Ride is excellent Quiet as a mouse with a refined petrol engine Interior is luxurious Good stereo and lots of toys Bad points A little cramped in the back Some interior finishes not up to standard A little road roar on some surfaces Would have like bluetooth as standard (got it as extra) Overall, this is a great car, but is let down by some below par quality finishing in the interior and reduced room in the back.

Honda Accord Saloon 2.0i-VTEC SE 2006

4 star review

Great car to drive, gutsy power when needed and so smooth and quiet. I really enjoy long distance journeys in this car because it is so comfortable and the handling is very responsive - more like gliding than driving. Not the cheapest car to run but certainly not the worst and Honda are a very trustworthy make. Good size boot but it would be nice to have a touch more space in the back seat although I wouldn’t go so far as to say it feels cramped for adult passengers, maybe just snug.
