When did they decide to blend the Acura TSX and and Honda accord together for the next generation? Or is it because they running of idea for designing?

@AUDIvsHONDA денег не хватило?))) или ауди бесит?)я тут между ягуаром и ауди тачку выбирал так мне в салоне ауди старший мастер цеха сказал ауди на 40 процентов хуже хонды по надежности. И говорят лучший автомобиль будет либо ауди с надежностью узлов и агрегатов хонда либо хонда с комфортом ауди. последним проще сделать авто комфортным чем первым надежным...

Why buy any overpriced German BMW, Mercedes, Audi, .... if u can buy this !!!

[blondesuperman]

"measured against the 3-series which was up till now the best"... The accord is a good car but dynamically will never compare to the 3-series, The BMW is Rear Wheel Drive, with all the dynamic advantages that come with that... The Honda front wheel drive - all the tech in the world can only only try and limit the fundamental problems of FWD - torque steer, lack of traction, weight imbalance front to rear...

This an excellent quality car. The front seats are incredibly comfortable. It was voted No1 by "Which"UK 2009 for reliability etc. In the UK it is imported from it's Japanese assembly. A manager of a main UK dealership told me.

[cattleman6420012000]

@tmfabianII I am sorry and surprised to read your report. Both my family and I and indeed my other relatives were amazed at the quality of this car. I see you are from the States. You wuold know that they have a much cheaper version of this car there. The American Acura is the similar car to this European Honda Accord I am talking about. I am genuinely telling you the truth . A relative is an expert as regards the finish and assembly of cars.

@cattleman6420012000 I cant afford to fork out for a Honda Accord outright so i am looking at a 2005 or 2006 model with low kilometers so are the Accords of those years reliable and a good build? I am probably looking at the Honda Accord Euro.

[cattleman6420012000]

@blade004 As far as I know, those older European Honda Accords had an excellent reputation. If you look up Honest John UK and go to the " Back room" forum, you will find some interesting information. One fellow had a bad one; but normally Honda is fantastic. In December 2007 I hired a 2.4 petrol auto Honda Accord Euro when staying on holiday in Cape Town. I absolutely adored the car. The latest Honda Accord Euro won "Car of the Year" last year in South Africa.

@tmfabianII I totally accept, that cars and people are like " chalk and cheese". People all have their likes and dislikes. That is what makes this world an interesting place, because we are all different. I am interested in any information about cars and motoring. I have an open mind.

@tmfabianII I would hate active head restraints like that. Pushing your head forward so much is crazy. I know it is put their supposedly for safety.

[cattleman6420012000]

@tmfabianII You are in an awkward position. If the head rests move electronically, it would be hard for any expert altering that surely.I am absolutely no expert, so there is never any harm in asking advice from a true expert. They are very strict about rules between the States and Europe apparently. I remember reading about what was allowed with Mercedes suspension a long time back. It was on the new shape Citroen C5 youtube video.
