2012 Honda Accord ES GT Tourer 2.0 iVTEC
Summary:
Spacious, comfortable and reliable
Faults:
Nothing serious. I look after the car very well, all services done. The car was bought used in 2020, but had a full service history from Honda main dealers.
General Comments:
Estate "Tourer" Accord is a very sharp looking and practical car. I have had this one a while now and it has never let me down.
GT model has lovely leather seats and all the electric features you need. It is a very competent motorway cruiser. Super practical. Loads of space for passengers and luggage.
Very good looking in silver with original Honda alloy wheels.
Nice to drive. The 2.0i petrol engine is reliable and has enough power for a heavy estate car. Not that good on fuel, getting about 36 mpg on average, which is still OK I suppose. All other running costs are pretty cheap.
Holds its value well for a 14 year old car, it's still worth 75% of what I paid for it 6 years ago, even with higher mileage, but that was just before used car prices went insane.
Plan to keep it as long as possible, it is very modern for its age, and I can see no reason to "upgrade" to anything more modern, this car does it all.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

They are good cars; the Accord is still holding value well even at over ten years old; an equivalent Vauxhall Insignia or Ford Mondeo is cheaper, but the Honda Accord is the better car and worth the extra in my opinion.
