2002 Honda Accord V6-L review from Australia and New Zealand
"A classy smooth reliable machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only problem was a mild shudder in the steering requiring a wheel balance. However at the last service, the wheels were rotated and now I have a problem of tyre noise which the service company told me was due to the rotation. I shall see what happens.
General comments?
Very reliable car, got it new for AU$46000, drove it away and it hasn't missed a beat since.
Servicing cost has been very reasonable.
I get around 450Kms or more on a tank of fuel with city driving.
The steering is a bit stiff when cornering.
Very smooth and comfortable with plenty of power.
It cruises very well at 100 - 120Kph.
The car is not as flashy in the looks department as some others however it has a lot of inbuilt class.
