…but not, fortunately as it turns out, this "hot rod" 2.4 cylinder petrol version.
Mine is a 2.2 i-CTD-i (diesel), a vastly superior car for reasons which I hope will become all to clear to you at the conclusion of this driving experience. Visiting the Millbrook Testing Ground in Bedfordshire for Company Car in Action last year, my wife and I drove up from the south coast in our own, ... ...at this event in June, Honda were taking the opportunity to 'launch' the diesel version of the successful new Accord to the all important fleet market. Having purchased mine in March, by the time we arrived at Millbrook, it had covered around 8,000 miles. To me it needed no "launching"!

Honda accord type S..
2.4 litre, 4 cylinder ... ...Firstly, the people at the honda garage were a cut above the rest, there was none of the hard sell i have come to expect from car sales people i was given time and privecy to talk to my partner about the new car, and above all we were treated like humun beings, not a potential sale.
As far as the car is concerned, its simply fantastic. i was convinced from the moment i got in it that it was well made, well thought out and top quality. i have been ...
