2000 Honda Accord SE Executive review from UK and Ireland
"Superb refined car that can plays very well with the boy racers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers door - nasty rattle, took 2 visits to the dealer to fix, but it's solid and quiet now. First time the dealer was looking at the wrong panel.
Wipers - passenger wiper freezes badly in temperatures below 0C. Dealer is going to replace.
SatNav CD was way out of date, 1998 version in the 2000 car! Honda UK were going to charge £132 for a replacement, but the dealer wangled it for free :)
General comments?
Heavy on petrol. Full 65 litre tank of super unleaded, with gentle driving and air-con off gets about 280 miles before the petrol warning light comes on. My older, bigger, heavier, 2.0 Omega used to do 350 on 70 litres of unleaded.
Super-unleaded gives more power though, great fun exists between 4000rpm & the redline.
SSS auto box is way better than other auto's - quick and smooth to shift.
Overall the car sticks to the road very well (to the detriment of my tyres) and is either a hoot playing down the back lanes, or perfect for munching motorway miles.
