Honda Accord Saloon 2.2i TYPE-R 4d (AC) (2002/02) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A lot of money for a front wheel drive sports saloon.
Costs
Ok, but engine needs to be revved hard to get the performance thus regular trips to the petrol station. Other costs are minimum as it's a Honda.

On the road
Driving
It's a Type-R - what do you expect? Absolute brilliant - it's like being on rails.
Performance
Best car ever bought for driver fun will beat most on the road other than Evo and Subaru.

Living with it
Reliability
Brilliant 'Honda' although probs with front tyre wear and alarm/immobiliser and central locking has been a prob, which I am told is common.
Image
I have two children so the tinted windows come in handy, but always puts a smile on your face to drive a real head turner.
Comfort
Recaros are body-hugging, but all round not quite what I expected.

Security and Service
Security
Not sure as alarm cannot be heard from my drive and my drive is 5ft from house. I beleive immobiliser is good with deadlocks but the car is a target.
Service
Two mills Leadsham excellent.
