Honda Accord Review

Used Value3 out of 5

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.
