2004 Honda Accord 2.0 i VTEC SE Saloon review from UK and Ireland
"A high quality car with long-term appeal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No specific faults.
Car went back to dealer on safety recall for wiring to rear lights.
General comments?
I bought this car as a demonstrator from a main dealer from a shortlist of 4 other cars.
To me, it had a better combination of driving appeal, comfort, appearance and practicality than the Skoda Octavia, Mazda 6 and Toyota Avensis.
The Accord 2.0 SE continues to drive very well and is comfortable. However, on reflection, the 17" Penta alloys are a mistake on this car... they're too firm and compromise the ride quality.
The accord has been completely reliable.
Although the boot is large, the access is small so it's tricky to fit large objects in there (e.g. prams)
