Honda Accord Hatchback (99-03) - Review

Review by Parkers on
This Accord had a bit of an image problem when it was new. Upwardly mobile middle management types saw it as dull and aimed instead for the lower levels of the 3-Series/C-Class hierarchy. It was shame, because underneath the contemporary - if conservative - bodies is a fun-to-drive, value-for-money executive car - and that's why it's a hit amongst used buyers today.

Running costs

Competes with other ex-fleet models despite higher parts and servicing costs. Iinsurance starts at Group 8 thanks to lower repair costs. Fuel consumption is good. Depreciation is becoming less of a worry (unless you bought new).
