What Car? says
For The Accord is extremely reliable, tough and durable. It's also nice to drive and well equipped
Against It looks dull, and it's dearer to buy and run than a Mondeo or Vectra; this saloon is less practical than the hatch
Verdict
It has no image at all, but it's good in so many areas you won't care. Hatc is more practical, though
Go for… 1.8 S 5dr
Avoid… 2.3 Type-V 4dr
- 1. Even the cheapest S trim comes with four airbags, anti-lock brakes and air-con
- 2. Costly servicing is needed every 9000 miles, but keep to that and an Accord should run and run
- 3. The oil level in the Type-R needs watching because it can drop rapidly with hard use
- 4. The boot is big but the suspension intrudes and restricts the width
- 5. Exhausts can rot through within a couple of years if the cars are used only for short hops
