2004 Honda Accord Euro Luxury review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great value and performance for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This is a fantastic sports sedan. The suspension is definitely on the firm side (which I like) and allows you to really throw the car around, however there is a bit of bouncing on Australia's poor roads at times.
The engine is a real goer, but prefers to have a few revs on the board to give its best. I bought the auto, however I'm wishing I had the manual to go with the revvy engine. The interior is very classy and has a really cool dashboard and functional layout. I drive 90% in traffic, and have got about 10-14 litres/100km which is slightly above what I expected. Then again, on the highway it will drop below 10L/100kms. Overall I love this car and my only gripe is that the Australian version gets 16 inch wheels and not the 17's. Otherwise just go and sing a cheque, you won't be disapointed!
