Excellant car

published

Very smooth driving experience, great performance, easy handling and after 2 years i have only just started hearing slight rough engine noise.

Spacey interior with great looking dashboard and plenty of leg room.

Accord has been very reliable with average running cost. But i will say, good value for money.

Gorrell Honda Geelong

published

I received a recall notice from Honda. Rang Gorrells in Geelong, was told that I could make an appointment (2 hours) so they could check if the recall was needed and if it was would not be done till 2018. Not a good experience, particularly when Astoria Honda replaced part as part of service last week, and I always get a replacement car for the time my car is in for service.

Excessive oil burner

published

WARNING !!!! Don't by a HONDA.
Affter only 50,000 kms Honda my Honda uses 2 + Litres of oil between regular services.

The V6 had simlar issues in USA resulting in a class action against Honda. The VCM "variable cylinder management system" caused too much oil to enter cylinders.



In my case with the 4 cylinder vti 2.4l it has worn piston rings causing excessive oil burn. This car had only 50,000 kms and used as city car with not much work. Take it to a dealer and all you will get is an offer to do a leak down test at your expense...Grrrrr

Honda are keeping quite about this fault.

Once with a Honda, always with a Honda

published

Been driving a Honda for more than 20 years. My current Honda is a 30th Anniversary Honda Accord 2.4ltrs model.

Honda cars always handle well and very quiet on the inside. Their auto gearbox last a long time but needs to provide regular lubrication service. Love the powerful acceleration when required and very safe car to drive.

Once you drive a Honda, you will always want another.

Going strong

published

This car has undergone heavy use for almost a decade and still no major issues. The only things which needed repair were the airconditioner that needed regassing and a screw in the door latch that came loose and i could just tighten myself. The only downside is the fastener holding the back interior panel came loose not long after purchase and constantly rattles when driving. May annoy sensitive drivers.

Good car

published

Bought used car in 2016 with 35,000kms on it. Has big improvement compare with last generation. Love the dual big screens maker he car looks luxury, blind spot camera makes safe lane change and convenient parking. Good interior size and comfortable seats. Most mid end Japanese cars not really have good paint, mine already showing age, especially on front bumper. Has bit noise around glove box in cold days. Multimedia system occasionally has no response. All others are fine, about 8.8L/100kms, very economic for a 2.4L car

Great Car

published

The Honda Accord is a great, reliable, quiet and fuel efficient car. I have always owned six cylinder vehicles prior to the purchase of my Honda, but I have not been disappointed. It has more than enough power to safely overtake on the open road. It has plenty of room, with great leg room in the rear. Boot space is excellent.

My fourth Honda

published

Love everything about my Accord. In particular the Melbourne, Astoria dealership. Tried to buy one in Geelong but they could not even organize a test drive for 4 weeks. Will always buy in Melbourne even living the other side of Geelong. The car is all luxury compared to many other much more expensive brands.

Decent car

published

Have had the car for 9 yrs and having done almost 180,000 km now. Drove the car mostly between home and office in metro Melbourne with occasional long trips within and inter states. The car seems to be well built with no major mechanical problems aside from usual wear and tear. The body paint seems to scratch easily. Aircon still strong. Still rides well. Slightly more expensive to service. Overall it is a decent car for this class of Japanese though Thai built car.

best car I have driven so far

published

I bought a used Accord in 2012, accord V6 luxury -2008. This is probably the best car I have ever owned so far. I had a Lexus-is250 before which was good too, but this accord is much more luxurious. Didn’t have any issue as yet is last 4 years.
This may look like an old man’s car but don’t be fooled, it got more than enough kick. Fuel economy is great too, city freeway combined is 10.4L/100

Car for no extra service

published

Own it almost 3 years! Honestly this car wants nothing, just a simple service! Very comfortable, Very sporty. It's like a storm when you kick down! I could never think that after my subaru I would love another car! But the accord is completely different! The best car I even owned!

Cant fault it

published

Bought this vehicle new, and 8 years later still very impressed. Plenty of power, smooth ride, handles well, very safe with heaps of airbags (although on recall like many other brand cars). Apart from servicing and the usual things like brakes and batteries, has only been in the workshop once. Servicing at Honda dealerships is expensive and this is why I haven't had a full service for years - simply change oil and fluids etc myself.

Sorry, I can’t answer that as this was my first Honda, so don’t know what previous models were like. I can say that I am still driving it 10 years later and it’s never missed a beat - and that includes driving Melbourne to Perth return. Still love it as it may well be the most reliable car I have ever owned and extremely comfortable for long trips. Hope this helps. I should add that mine is a Euro and not a 6 cylinder so maybe not the model you asked about anyway! Lol....

G’Day Paul,
Bit late, but I kept a spreadsheet. Best I got was 6.98L per 100kms, worst 13L around town. (Albury). Speeding up to 110kms then diving off the access ramps doesn’t help the fuel economy that much.
Overall average was 10.34 on ULP 91 and 9.71 on ULP 95. (2012 2.4L Limited Edition)
