General Comments

Fell well below my expectations. The build quality of this Honda Accord 1.8 16V Saloon car was pretty shoddy as were the materials used. Boot shut with a very tinny clink due to no sound proofing or internal trim. Replacement clutch required after only 2 years (96K!) but this was all motorway driving. Also rear and front discs replacement - Windscreen leak. Also, after being broken into, the passenger door winding glass was forever pulling out of plastic clips made to hold the window. After 6 replacements (2 by Honda) I gave up!!
The mileage I do (upto 50K/annum) also found a dangerous fault... when washing the windows on motorways after passing lorries, HGV's etc the dirty window water was deposited firmly ALL OVER the drivers door glass. After 2/3 washes you had to get out of the car and physically clean it as it was impossible to see out of it! If you do lots of miles watch out for this before considering as in my opinion its very dangerous! I was left feeling somewhat disappointed by this car as Honda have built up a decent reputation and this spoiled it all, sadly!
