1992 Honda Ascot Innova Si review from Australia and New Zealand

"All Rounder"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing.

General comments?

Japanese clone of the Accord with the same 2L Accord engine (f20a, CBC3). Jap import into NZ, different styling than the Accord but basically the same, interior differs. Outside style looks like the 1999 Honda Accord.

Good sized family car that will not winge about four people and a boat attached to the it.

Extras: Climate Control A/C, ABS, 15" allows, sport/eco mode, decent 6 specker stereo (got to love those Jap stereos), fog lights, electric everything, power steering.

Large front vented discs, large rear drums.

Goes well, comfortable, a little noisy especially when you doing 160 kmh (wind noise), 4 stage auto with grade control, Japs love their autos.

Good handling for a family car compared to others of the same price/type.

Reasonable acceleration without any forced induction (i.e. no turbo, no super charger) and it's not V-TEC. 1997CC OHC 16 valve engine, fuel injected, 135 hp, 100 kilowatts pretty stock standard.

Speedo probably limited to 180 kmh as per Japanese regs, will probably go faster given the ease it gets to 160 kmh (150kmh in second gear(auto)!)

All in all, a nice car.

Other car recommended with thesame handling,

Nissan Skyline, or Primera.
