2004 Honda Accord Type S review from South Africa
"No Honda for me in this lifetime"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
The engine has no torque; you have to rev it to the redline all the time.
Heavy fuel consumption.
Reliable car, but horrible to drive.
Comfortable to sit in, but not a drivers car.
Poor resale value.
Not recommended, buy German; BMW, Audi or Mercedes.
