2003 Honda Accord Euro Luxury from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Nothing.

I have just sold the Euro after 3 years of very happy motoring. The only unexpected expense was for rear brake pads at 40k. I am not normally heavy on brakes.

The economy was phenomenal, as good as 7.8l to 100kms on country trips and 10 per 100kms around Melbourne.

Initially the oil consumption was a little high, the dealership monitored it and assured me it would bed in at about 30,000kms which it did.

The seats were definitely better than those on my Lexus LS400 which I owned previously.

My only gripe (which could not be cured) was my inability to drive the car smoothly in really slow traffic. My passengers could not detect it, but I could.

I was told it was down to the electronic throttle.

I have only sold the car because I got a company car with a new job.

A number of people have mentioned about the Drive by wire making crawling speeds annoying. Apparently there are a few things you can do but they are all aftermarket.
