2011 Honda Accord VTEC EX 2.4i petrol
Summary:
Unstoppable force
Faults:
Absolutely nothing but wear and tear parts replaced, no issues at all in six years. I bought it used from a reputable dealer.
General Comments:
Super reliable 2011 silver Accord, I love this car and it has never let me down and I do not think it ever will.
Cared for very well however - as with any car, if abused of course they will break down, but look after it, and it will be fine.
EX model with leather, lovely interior, superior comfort and a relaxing drive, very smooth. Electric everything.
Original Honda alloy wheels still look great.
2.4 engine with the auto is just perfect for this car. Powerful and quiet. Love driving it.
On the downside, the tax cost per year (over £400!) is ridiculous thanks to the stupid UK government here that want cars like this taxed off the road. It isn't very economical to be fair, I rarely get more than 31 mpg. Not great for 2026. I do not do much mileage these days however, essentially it is a second car for me. So affordable even with current fuel prices skyrocketing.
But for a modern yet classic Japanese saloon with all the bells and whistles, plus super reliability, you cannot beat an old Accord. No wonder even at this age they hold their value well.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I had virtually the same experience with the same car. The Accord is underrated. A rare sight on UK roads, but I don't know why, it is easily better than the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia, and most if not all others in this class.
