2000 Honda Accord SE Executive review from UK and Ireland
"Heartily recommended as it does everything so well - I'm getting another next year."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers window squeaks & binds slightly when the weather is very hot.
Black paintwork always looks dirty, but this is a general car thing and not model specific. It would have been nice to have more colour options when I got it.
General comments?
A very comfortable & easy car to drive, around town and on long distances. Great handling when pushed. Simple to operate steering wheel mounted cruise control is just brilliant.
VTEC engine is perfection itself albeit a tad thirsty when pushed. Very quiet, refined & smooth. Just keep above 4000 RPM to get the VTEC to kick in when you REALLY want to motor. Top speed 130mph with cruise control on.
Electric everything, & controls easy to reach & operate, but a little dull in appearance. Standard internal trim is also a bit bland. Next time I'll specify leather seats & climate control instead of straight air conditioning.
Extremely reliable car, just drive it with no worries.
Only thing that lets it down is purely aesthetic - the standard steel wheels look a bit small & weedy.
Don't buy a Mondeo or Vectra without trying one of these first.
