[BusterSonic12]

is that the wagon? with savnav!? and the price only between lux and std O.O that's pretty good price for it then, isn't it?

[UNLS1]

oops my bad SEDAN ONLY

using the name from the UK euro wagon but its 110% sedan we are getting!

[tron07]

whats the diff with the normal Euro?

Or is it another sport/limited edition version of the normal Euro...

[UNLS1]

its kinda like a ltd edition of the base model euro. all the normal standard features but with factory sat nav, foglight and rev sensors.

wont have the bodykit like the sport/ltd edition and the partial leather seats.

[albii]

i just don't get honda aus..why can't we have a leather option for the standard euro?

[r-r-redEuro]

lol now im having cold feet about if it was right to purchase the limited edition sport one or waited for this, ahh. what do you guys think which one would of went better, btw i got the other promotions of 5yr warranty etc.

[akina]

nah i think purchasing the ltd ed. was the right to go ;)
it was one of the best base models u get, removing all that chrome was a smart move and loving the grills :)

Stick with the LTD ED Sport, its looks much better with the extras than not having them (bodykit, grill, wheels, no chrome, two tone seats).

The Honda satnav is nothing spectacular if yr paying for it, better off with a portable unit IMO.

You guys with the Ltd.edition made the right choice.it's good value.:thumbsup::thumbsup:I had to think long and hard which one to get out of the Ltd.Ed. and the Lux.

[akina]

agreed... just having the ltd ed. stock already looks hell hot ;)

got mine for $38,000 too, few hundred cheaper :D

[UNLS1]

id go the ltd or sport

i like it better coz sat nav means sfa for me, i always know where im goin.

Its not worth havin a leather option for the standard, why hav that option when there is a luxury.

[Lukey13]

I say go the Luxury. Now that I have them, I simply couldn't have another car without the little extras which add up to make something special, e.g., seat heaters, automatic wipers, HIDs, sunroof, electric seats, auto-dimming rear-view mirror. Not to mention the classy looking 17" wheels on the Luxury and of course the leather which absolutely transforms any car. But then I suppose I was buying to a different budget and went all out with every option I liked, such as Satellite Navigation. For me the choices were fully optioned Euro Lux, Mazda 6 MPS, or a recent model BMW 325i manual. All fantastic cars in my opinion!

[tony1234]

The heated seats have been great these last few mornings in Sydney.This Tues. was 2C.at 8 in the morning!!!

because there is a $7000 price diff and some people would rather just have leather for say $2500 ,but they don't want hids ,electric seats, 17 inch wheels and sunroof.

I don't get honda aus either.why don't they import the accord tourer (wagon) ??? are they completely stupid? it would be a competitor for the Sube Liberty wagon and the Mazda 6 wagon as well as euro cars such as the Audi A4 estate, VW Passat and the BMW 323 wagon! And it would have a price advantage over those cars even more so!

It looks like a hearse.:thumbdwn:

[akina]

the ltd ed ruled out the heated seats as their seats are not completely leather (the middle part is something else nfi what it is tho), with that stuff there u dont feel the cold as u would with the leather.
also the interior is black, and that is about as much black u can ever get on the euro :)

I'd go for the Ltd Sport as well.

Those wagons are low volume sellers. Wouldn't make much sense for Honda Australia to bring it here. So far i've only seen a handful of Mazda6 wagons and almost none of the other European models. The Liberty wagon/Outback sells just because it is AWD.

[r-r-redEuro]

thanks for that everyone i was about to nuts then i read somewhere just awhile ago that the sat nav in the euro is pretty shit and not worth its money.
cheers everyone. makes me feel better had a bad day stupid speeding ticket.

[bigdongers]

the sat nav does make the interior look sweet though

[akina]

not really... with or without looks fine
and i would prefer buying a portable one and putting into the car if really wanted to
sat nav r for bloodly losties

[tron07]

Better bring Honda Stream

[EuroDude]

Meh I doubt it would be value for money considering how expensive the extra Honda parts cost.

i.e. get the base and spend an extra $~600
Sat Nav, u can get a navman for $400
Fog Lights, ebay for $100
Reverse Sensors, eBay for $60

[UNLS1]

we dont need the tourer wagon as we have the odyssey.

i dont really care wat anyone thinks bout the euro tourer, im just letting u blokes know b4 most other people know. I think it might have a good place in the market for sales execs ect who want a base car but with sat nav, there is a market for this car it all just depends on where its priced.

[rhettzor]

As its already been said. The Ltd Edition/Sport is great value for money, for 2-3k more you get a nice car (compared to the standard). :)

[adammet04]

i like the euro wagon, but not as stock..modded looks great..

[yfin]

Fog Lights, ebay for $100


Good luck getting ebay fogs purchased and fitted for $100. They are a real headache to get working.

I was assuming DIY price, but yeah the OEM ones are a pain.
The generic aftermarket ones arent too hard, I install some in my civic in an hour, using a switch and wiring from dick smith, and a flat connector jammed into the fuse box :p
