Difference between Euros

[higuys]

Hi guys,

Am planning on buying an Accord Euro atm and was wondering the differences between the 2003-2005 Accord Euros and the 2006-2009 Accord Euros.

Besides the new look of the front bar, are there any other differences between the old and the updated Euro?

Any help would be great. Even the most smallest things thanks :D

Hey mate, its been covered many many times now.

The main differences you will find would be the front bumper/rear bumper/rims on the exterior

The headlights also differ as the side of the 06+ is bluish while the 03-05 is just clear

The earlier model euro's didn't come with a trip computer, the hazard light button of the earlier models also don't lit up.

Not sure if theres much else i'm missing...

a few cosmetic changes mainly. i think perhaps the suspension was slightly revised on the lux? a bit softer?

search the forum, theres heaps of info :)

Engine wise not much.06+models get stronger crankshaft and con rods over 03-05.

That was only the TSX 06+. I do think we got the extra breather lines for the crank though.

Updated interior, updated instruments, trip control, different rims.

by earlier models do u mean 03/04? as my 05 hazard light button lights up.

i heard the cluster lights are nicer on the 06+

steering wheel buttons light up on 05s and probably newer models.

Yeah my friends 04 the hazard doesn't light up, not sure about steering wheel never looked at his. I'll check it out sometime and let you know.

The cluster lights are white/blue for the 06+ i like them =)

It does light up, but not glow like the 06. Tail lights are slightly diff and the reverse lights are tinted in the new one. More other small aesthetic stuff like the cover on the stearing wheel has a silver circle in it etc etc.

Differences:
front bumper is more sharper/aggressive on the 06+ and has a different grill
bonnet on the earlier model has a silver trim above the grill. 06+ is full colour coded
rear bumper (slight change)
optional bodykits are different
new wheel design for both standard and lux
headlights on 06+ have clear indicator lens and has an opaque blue thing on the corner
tail lights on 06+ have a more circular pattern and the reverse lens is lightly tinted
steering wheel - 06+ gets a trip meter button
interior trim - 06+ gets a silver/carbon effect on the lux. earlier models have a woodgrain finish
dash has a different colour - red/white on earlier models and blue/white on 06+
05+ models get a full sized spare
i think the 06+ has a red gloss hazard switch vs matt red on the earlier model
i think only the 06+ models came with optional sat nav.
i think the 06+ lux has auto dimming rear vision mirror
