Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

well I use to had many car in last 8th years, so I can easy compare and say if its good or not, so start with look - I have nice (british racing green metallic) original alloys, sun roof, fog lights, rear boot spoiler, chrome door handles and door floor plates, also wood effect in interior, so looks like jam, performance is fine - car drives between 2-3.500 rpm like a V6 than is mall space and when vtec kick at 4200 is enough to overtake most Of cars, engine Is quiet and like most of Honda's trouble free, if I compare it to 2.0vtec (in my accord coupe) 2.3i is more thirsty, not like V6 engine (in my vectra 2.6 v6 or volvo s70 2.5 20v) but be ready for real 10-12l in city and 7.2 - 8l on motorway, so average is 10l, yes not the best, but because excellent building quality you save a lot money of service so petrol is not that bad, comfort - seats are fine (not volvo but not corsa) in accord coupe use to be better, enough space and boot is nice big,arm rest is superb also with cap holder location car feels like a heavy limo so is more suitable for pleasure not for trash and race boys,but even when you push it time to time to limit it hold on road very well, at the end all I can can ( is one of the golden era cars, build to last, I will keep it as long I can, I really like type r accord but without sunroof and cruise control I can imagine to drive it every day :) as long you like older cars and you see around nice type v for serious cash I would highly recommended this car Standard bose audio is out of date, if you are basic listener its fine but as long you like enjoy music really hard, is time to change it :)

How reliable do you find the car?

even after years all still works without fault, very very happy about it (if I compare to vw passat, micra 1.4 (electronic from renault!)

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

well for 400 punds I live in a dream to be honest (sunroof, leather, heated seats, fine radio, cruise control, air con and bla bla bla a lot ouuu yes plus cd charger in a boot
