What Car? says
For The Accord has smooth and powerful engines. It's also roomy, refined, and a pleasure to drive
Against There's no hatchback version, it's dearer than the Mondeo and Vectra, and servicing is costly
Verdict
It aims for Audi and Lexus but misses
Go for… 2.2i i-CDTi Sport
Avoid… 2.4i VTEC Executive
- 1. Servicing an Accord at a main dealer costs about half as much again as for a Ford Mondeo or Vauxhall Vectra
- 2. Chunky screen pillars and high-set windows at the rear create blind spots that make manoeuvring tricky
- 3. Diesel engine needs regular top-ups of oil, which can be irritating - and adds to your running costs
- 4. There are no complaints about the space: the cabin is roomy throughout
- 5. The boot is a decent size, although this saloon lacks the ultimate versatility of the previous-generation Accord hatchback
