    I just love the look of this accord but I dont know much about other aspescts of the car. It seems to be a very good price second hand with low mileage, Maybe too cheap? Im looking at the model with a DTEC 2.2 engine.

    Anyone got any opinions on this car?

    New model? Excellent car. It's biggest flaw is that it's priced too high these days, Honda should reduce the price by around 7 grand. Other than that, it's excellent.

    I dont have one bad thing to say about the Accord apart from the price tag.

    Yeah the only killer about them is the prices here. However they were available in the UK since 2008 and don't command the same high used prices there. Importing might be worth looking at.

    Great handling, not bad performance, damn comfy - and the only one I ever drove was the base model.

    As mentioned by everyone else, price is the only reason there aren't a lot more of these around.

    I've tried to buy one of these twice now, just can't agree a price. They are a few grand overpriced unfortunately

    Researched the Accord pretty thorougly recently while evaluating estate cars. By all accounts the new model is excellent, but as others have said, overpriced. Only downside to the estate is the load space/design isn't as big or well thought out as other rivals, i.e. intruding wheel arches. But it's top of my list at the moment, although my purchase is on hold for now. Good prices for them in the UK, I'd be tempted to go down this route if I could get a reliable VRT estimate :rolleyes:.
