Honda Accord Coupe 2.0i ES 2d (2000/V) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Book price now £3300. Yes that's right £3,300 (I paid £8.200 this time last year). An absolute steal now. Good luck finding a specced one!!!!
Costs
Servicing not cheap but worth every penny to hear that v-tec purring right. Keep to 70mph and you'll return 41mpg!!

On the road
Driving
Get rid of the 15" standard alloys and go for 16". Excellent poise and agility bearing in mind this car is nearly 16 foot long!
Performance
Quick enough for a big car.Quicker than the given 9.6 0-60 anyway. 2nd-3rd easy to trip rev limiter especially when joining motorways from sliproads.Likes to cruise at 85-90 without you realising it.Best to set your cruise control if you dont like points!
