2002 Honda Accord Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Good compromise between a sports car and a family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windscreen washer jets failed at 10000.
Front brake disc's required skimming due to surface corrosion.
General comments?
This is a very well made car. Everything about it make you think of quality. The doors make a solid clunk when shut is just an example. All the dashboard controls are easily accessible with their positions well thought out.
After having a nightmare experience of owning a Laguna 2 this car is a joy to own and drive.
The engine is very responsive especially when the V-TEC technology comes into play and the car takes off like a rocket, even when five people are in!The suspension is quite hard for a family car, but you don't mind when throwing it round corners as it handles like a dream.
The only thing I miss from my Laguna is the lack of gadgets, maybe that's why this car is so much more reliable.
This is my first Honda and certainly won't be my last.
Starting to save for a Type R!
