Honda Accord 1.8

It's all mine at last, it may only be an X reg car, that makes it 11 years old. As it was first registered in 2000. We haven't had it that long though, we bought it second hand about 4 years ago. It has proved to be good, reliable and comfortable, I might add. Now I'm no Jeremy Clarkson, so if you want to know all the in depth technical details and specifications, you can find all this out by visiting Honda's website. In the mean time I'll try to explain this car to you as best I can. The Car The model I have is a Honda Accord 1.8 VTEC SE exec, 5 door hatchback, petrol automatic, with ... more

HISTORY ************ Most signs of middle age you can ignore. Grey hairs, wrinkles, the endless aches and pains. All can be denied much of the time. The one thing you can't disregard is that nagging voice in your head. You know the one. It sounds a bit like the late Johnny Cash. And it says "Son, it's time you thought about buying a Honda." That voice first spake unto me about six years ago. And yea, though I was sore afraid, I resisted for a while. But in July 2001, I found myself wandering the wilderness of a used car supermarket, running my fingers idly along the smooth curves of a 1999 ... more

At the urging of my accountant, (not that I need much urging to spend a few quid) I went shopping for a newer ... more

Honda Accord 1.8i SE VTEC (Auto/Semi Auto) Hatchback This is my third Honda, so yes I do like them, I like them a lot. How can you not like a car that starts first time, every time you turn the key. How can you not like a car that just goes on and on, and gives you no trouble, (whether you service it or not, but that's not recommended) but just gives you lots of pleasure to drive. I bought this one back in Sept. 2004, its a 'W reg', registered July 2000, it had about 44,000 miles on the clock. It has the VTEC ('variable valve timing') engine with a 4 speed fully automatic and a semi automatic ... more

First of all. This isn't my car. As I've written a separate review for mine. I am actually writing this review on behalf of my Dad. All opinions and experiences with the car are from my father and myself. *+*+*THE CAR*+*+* The car being reviewed is a 1997 R reg Honda Accord 1.8i LS Saloon in bright red. Purchased last year by my father for £1200. It has has 3 owners from new (inc. my Dad) and has 110K miles on the clock. Very good condition, few scratches around the door locks.
