Great diesel engine; comfy seats and smooth ride; much-improved and more dynamic to drive than ever before.
Uninspiring petrol engines; confusing and fussy dashboard layout; dull looks; more expensive; Tourer less spacious and versatile than before.
A good car, but not a great one.
The Accord's good reputation for reliability, and the relatively small numbers sold in comparison to cars such as the Mondeo and Vectra, help to keep residual values strong.
Diesel models will be most in demand second-hand and Tourer estates will also be popular.
There won't be as many takers for the thirsty 2.4 petrol, however, and with initial new purchase prices high, there may not be as good a return back on the investment as in the past.
