Honda Accord Coupe 2.0i LS 2d (1996/P) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Not cheap when I got it but now they are peanuts.
Costs
Honda are well know for expensive servicing, reasonable fuel bills

On the road
Driving
Front wheel drive, too heavy and under powered means driving a dishwasher would be more exciting.
Performance
Engine suffers from weight of the car, needs to be revved hard to get anywhere.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Excellent Japanese/American build quality. Electrics drain battery though when engine is off (be warned).
Image
Old person's car. It is rare but no-one cares or notices it. Halfords think its a grey import (cheek).
Comfort
As comfy as my couch. Not real drivers seats but plenty of room. Which there should be for such a big car.
-
Security and Service
Security
Weak door locks but some fancy immobilser which probably warns off thieves.
Service
Main dealers abysmal and serve simply to empty your wallet. Major service over £440 and I couldn't tell the difference.
