2001 Honda Accord SE Executive. review from UK and Ireland
"Looks expensive and feels well put together"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a slight knocking noise from F.N.S suspension.
General comments?
The car looks very smart with its bright blue paint, chrome bits and black leather interior.
Reasonable economy,36mpg on a long run @70-80.
I find the seats too hard and a bit narrow. Cruise control is a big help to give my right buttock a rest on long trips. (Don't get chance to use it much on our congested motorways.)
Some switches are obviously an after thought because they are in silly places, such as the heated seat switches. What use is putting a light on the switch when it is hidden under your elbow. It needs a light on the dash.
I find it is tight to get your hand down the side of the seat for the electric seat controls.
Car feels solid on the road.
My first choice was a VW Bora, but didn't really look at many before seeing this Honda. I recentley sat in another Bora and knew it was the car I should have bought.
