General Comments

I hav owned my car now for 6 years and I haven't found a car, I would like to buy to replace it. Sure you have to keep it wound up, but everyone knows that's what you have to do with a VTEC.
The seats are comfy, still after the 80,000 miles I have travelled in it. The handling is superb, the limited slip differential makes you feel like it's rear wheel drive car at sometime. Little sign of understeer, so push the throttle(in the dry) round a country bend and it grips brilliantly....safely.
Tyres are important, the front ones get chewed quicky even with sensible driving so I opt always now for Michelin as they last 3 times as long a the OEM fitted Bridgestones(6 months). I had a Civic VTI 1996 before and it was great except for the steering which was far too Japanses light. The Accord steering is right on the button, direct and responsive, nice sized wheel too. My car is totally standard as God (Honda) intended.............
