Honda Accord (2003-2008) Review

Category: Large Family 4 out of 5

Summary of the Honda Accord (2003-2008)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Refined, roomy, well built, fabulous diesel, superb sports suspension.

Drawbacks

Cabin lacks visual flair, uninspiring petrol engines.

Verdict

Classier than its French rivals, better value than the Germans.

Review

Running Costs3 out of 5

The petrol engines are frugal, but the C02 levels relatively high, which has tax implications. Cleanest is the diesel, emitting just 145g/km in SE or EX trim; the worst figure is the 223g/km pumped out by the 2.4 EX automatic.

However, insurance groupings are low (11-14), Honda dealers' servicing is well priced and overall running costs are competitive.
