2004 Honda Accord Exec review from Sweden
"The best car I have owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
Keeping in mind that I am living in north of Sweden where temperatures can go below -40C.
General comments?
After owning a BMW for the past 2 years and being let down by German quality, I decided to buy this 190bhp Honda Accord.
This is an amazing car, the best part about the buying experience is you get it in full spec unlike the German car where you can go mad deciding what options to go for.
The car is very comfortable and with just the right amount of power. It takes you from A to B fast and comfortably. Being a Honda it is very reliable. I haven't seen my dealer in a year except when I had to get the car serviced.
The car is very good looking and also the interior quality has improved 100 times over the previous generation of Accord.
If you are in a market to buy a car and are not bothered by the fact that is a FWD, then buy the new Accord and try to order with full specs.
Don't go for 17" wheels, they will ruin the comfort. If you want to, get 225/50/16 tires for the car, that's what I did!!
