| Totale Notering |
 |
| Beschrijving |
| This Accord sits awkwardly between mid-range fleet cars and prestige executive models. If you value driving, comfort and reliability but don't need a German badge, it makes lots of sense. |

| Technische Controle |
| This previous generation Accord is talented but modest with it. Elegant and efficient rather than inspirational, the roomy saloon's tidy lines fall short of classic German styling. The hatchback and coupe are less popular. Everything else makes a strong case for the car. The smooth, sophisticated VTEC engines are eager and love revs. Taut handling, accurate steering and an obediently compliant ride give it a sporty edge. Refinement is up there with the German meisters. Even in Accord's big body, the 1.8i delivers useful power. The 2.0i gives similar performance and consumption while feeling more relaxed; there's a Sport Shift sequential auto option if you need it. The 210bhp Type-R is a delight - the only overtly sporty Accord, it's discreetly packaged but a real flier. Equipment is generous across the range, safety is above-average, and reliability is almost guaranteed. What more could one ask for the money? |
