2002 Honda Accord Sport from UK and Ireland - Comments

Windscreen washer jets failed at 10000.

Front brake disc's required skimming due to surface corrosion.

This is a very well made car. Everything about it make you think of quality. The doors make a solid clunk when shut is just an example. All the dashboard controls are easily accessible with their positions well thought out.

After having a nightmare experience of owning a Laguna 2 this car is a joy to own and drive.

The engine is very responsive especially when the V-TEC technology comes into play and the car takes off like a rocket, even when five people are in!The suspension is quite hard for a family car, but you don't mind when throwing it round corners as it handles like a dream.

The only thing I miss from my Laguna is the lack of gadgets, maybe that's why this car is so much more reliable.

This is my first Honda and certainly won't be my last.

Starting to save for a Type R!

I have recently purchased a 1800 V-Tech Accord Sport on a 52 plate and I am very pleased with it. Your description of how it handles and performs is spot on and it will not be my last Honda either. It is in a league of it own.

Hope you manage to get your Type-R!

If you think your 1.8 is quick and handles well, you ain't seen nothing - the Type-R will blow your mind!!

I have a 2.0i VTEC SE Executive which I love, but I often wish I'd bought the Type-R that I really wanted. I have driven a couple of them, so I do know what they're like and my brother in law has a Civic Type-R which I've also driven a fair bit. I also used to have a (previous shape) Civic 1.8 VTi (170bhp) which was the fore-runner to the CTR.

If you have never experienced one of these high performance Honda engines (and their regular engines are good enough as we both know!), then prepare to be amazed.

They rev much higher, to 8,000 or 8,500 rpm and although the VTEC comes in higher up than with the mainstream engines, the power and sound is phenomenal!

My VTi was an animal on VTEC, but wasn't great in the midrange, but the newer engines in the Accord and the Civic somehow manage to have great throttle response and mid-range punch yet still go ballistic when you hit the zone.

As you can tell, I'm a bit of a fan!!!
