...TITLE EXPLANATION
Anyone remotely interested in cars cannot failed to have seen Honda's strap-line for their new Accord; "if it is difficult……it is worth doing", supposedly a quote from Mr Honda himself. I am not quite sure as to what this refers; I rather think that the difficulty lay in developing an improved car from the already very good previous one!
I feel it only fair to pre-empt this review by saying that this particular model is the exact replacement for my own car - the Honda Accord 2.2 i-CTDi Executive. Effectively this is a new car, launched, in the UK, at the Company Car in Action event which my wife and I attended a couple of months ago.
WHAT IS IT?
The Accord is a very long standing and well known model in Honda's line-up. Other model names; Carina, Cavalier, Cortina, Xantia, 80, 626 now Vectra even, have come...

...WHAT IS IT?
The Jazz is Honda's entry into the highly contested and ever popular "supermini" market. It is a five door hatchback, a very simple range to choose from as there are no variants; saloon, convertible etc, all Jazz models therefore share the same "two box" styling. For those of you to whom it may be important, the dimensions are as follows:
Length 3845mm x Width 1878mm x Height 1525mm.
It is therefore a fairly short, yet wide and tall small car, having a tardis affect inside where it seems much larger than you would think looking at the car sitting next to the pavement.
There are any number of competitors from Japanese, Korean and European countries, probably its' most likely competition can be found in the form of the Ford Fiesta, Mitsubishi Colt, Nissan Micra and Vauxhall Corsa, all of which offer a much larger...

...Brand new Civic 2007, correct as of 05/08/2007
My gard... a Honda Civic not aimed at the old fogeys of middle class England? This is a car worth checking out.
As a test I actually took this car and showed it to a few senior citizens who themselves own Hondas, mainly the Honda “mid-life crisis” 4x4 CR-V. I am happy to report that after 3 hours of speculating and afternoon napping, they did not like it at all. That, therefore, means that this car is officially cool. I got this car because the Type-R was way more expensive, was in a higher insurance group and costed more to pay tax for to be on the road.
The car I have here is the 5 door 1.8l i-VTEC ES version, not the SE. Let’s face it, although SE costs around £1000 less, it has much less in features and doesn’t have the glass roof! SE doesn’t have cruise control as standard...
