General Comments:

This is my second car after writing off my Honda Legend, and now this one has been written off due to a woman in a 4WD running a stop sign and smashing into my rear side.

This Accord was amazing, I'm still driving it even with the pretty much diminished panel and lack of boot (it's there, but I cannot open it). Performance is great for a 2.2 litre engine, and the engine noise after 4000rpm is what you'd expect from a larger engine.

Fuel wise it was pretty good, averaging about 9-10 litres around town, a tank would last me about 550km with a mix of steep hills driving and suburban driving, using 95 octane fuel.

It went through tyres pretty quickly, but that may have just been due to my driving style or the bad steering alignment (I had never gotten it fixed because it wasn't a big deal). Oh and tyres seemed fairly troublesome to track down, even second hand ones as new ones were overly expensive.

Breaks are a bit iffy, sometimes either being too sensitive or not sensitive enough. From the lights, flooring it would often get me past all the other cars, a few times even beating some P platers in their hotted up Commondores. Hahahaha. Insurance was easy and police never even looked at me.

The ignition switch died on me when I was 2km from home, luckily I had already exited the freeway so I had to hold the key til I got home, and a used ignition switch was $55 and took about twenty minutes to install.

I have been very happy with this car, and if it wasn't for such expensive labour with panel beaters, I'd definitely get this car fixed. I'm going to keep it and maybe try to fix it up myself, and in the mean time may purchase another Legend.

So far nothing has really bad has gone wrong with the car. This could be due to good servicing from previous owner.

The only problem is the vibration of the whole car?

Tried to get his fix, but to no prevail.

The automatic transmission is also a little rough. But little bit of oil soon fixed that.

A low brake, needs a little pumping to stop it from moving at the traffic lights. Otherwise the breaks are very good.

Needed new rear speakers. Both of them had blown because I had a new stereo installed. Oops.

General Comments:

This car is a great car to drive.

Handles very well and engine is good, even if it is a little high on the revs.

Can get about 600 kilometers per tank.

Very comfortable to drive for long distances. Also looks cool with a sunroof.
