I owned a 1.8i VTEC Accord for 6 years and 50,000 miles. It turned out to be an excellent family car. Plenty of room for cases, pushchairs, kids etc. The interior trim always cleaned up well after much abuse! Had no problems with it. Little bit heavy on fuel and front tyres. Maybe that was just the way I drove it because it was a pleasure to drive. First sign of trouble was brake pipe corrosion. (£200 repair). If I was buying another I would look for a good service history. Solid car.

This Honda Accord 1.8 16V S Saloon family car completly changed my thoungts about Japanese cars, that they were reliable but dull. The Honda Accord is sadly a overlooked masterpiece of engineering. This car can be compared to BMW 3 series when it comes to handling, even better! The car fits the 1.8 litre engine fine, it delivers 136 Hp and is eager and smooth, but if you really want the ultimate ride, go for the type R. The interior in the car looks great, and the round speedo and rev gives the car a sporty look, the seats are comfy, deep and gives good side support. When it comes to space the driver and passanger got good space for the legs. The space behind is fine, but could have been biggger, but you will not feel uncomfy thanks to the exellent seats.. Note that the center seat has got 3 point seatbelts. There are little noise in the car, even at high speed, just some very low rolling noise from the weels. The sound system is from BOSE, and has even got a fabric mounted sub. From the outside the car looks "angry" my car is lowered, and got some nice 16" rims. The car comes with climate control, cruise control and even navigation. A fast saloon with superb handling, great looks and high relability. 4/4 stars in the NCAP crash test.
