  • Road Test: Honda Accord (2003-)
    Large Family
    Honda Accord (03- )
    4CAR RATING:

    Assets
    Refinement; more distinctive-looking than its predecessor; roomier interior; sweet 2.4-litre engine and slick five-speed auto 'box combination; fabulous diesel, high safety and luxury equipment levels, usefully sized Tourer estate

    Drawbacks
    Still lacks the image and dynamism to take on the best; cabin lacks visual flair and still feels a little cheap; no feisty Type-R model planned

    Verdict
    A welcome addition to the family car sector, offering an agreeably offbeat proposition for those bored of following the usual Mondeo-Vectra-Primera-Passat route.
