Honda Accord VTi

Hi,

I have been looking the past few weeks at the '05 VTi Accord as opposed to the '05 Euro Luxury. Is there many people on here with this shape Accord? All the threads on here seem to be from Euro Accord owners and nothing about the VTi. If anyone here has a VTi, how does it drive and are you enjoying the car?

I was thinking of getting the Euro Luxury, but there is so many around in Melbourne and the VTi has a shape of it's own which is unique I feel.

Also, what sort of prices are you guys getting from the dealers too? I haven't been able to nail a dealer down on a drive away price yet.

I have this shape Accord (V6 Luxury). I tend to agree that while the Euro is a great car, it is simply too common. It's like every monkey and his uncle has one, which what makes the Accord more unique. The looks is either a love it or hate it affair, but I think the look grows on you in a big way and I admit when I first saw it I didn't give it a second glance but now I have one so it just proves my point. It is a big luxurious car. Very comfortable and the power from the V6 is really nice. In my humble opinion, the 2.4 VTi Accord with a comparatively weedy 118kw showhorned into such a large body means you probably wouldn't get any spritely performance out of it, but for the price it is alot of car for the money. All you should do is take one for a test drive and decide for yourself if you like it. What I can tell you is that we have not regretted getting this shape Accord one bit. It is a nice car. Good luck with your purchase and look forward to some pics one day!

G'ah! I hear you!. Time to get the shotgun and go do some monkey and his prick relative family culling! :D

If you can stretch the budget go the V6.

Yeh depends on the owner and what the car is wanted for..........having a Accord Euro im goin to defend it, but the V6 is a nice comfy ride although it seemd rather large. With lots of power though to compensate i wouldnt know the stats but id still say Euro. Alot of Euros out there true! but its wat u do to it Aftermarket that will defrentiate you from the rest, its a matter of not turnin ur head to turning your head when you hear that sporty throaty VTEC roar around the corner and you see the peircing eyes of the Euro eating up the Tarmac.!!!!!anyways its all up to you...lol...

Alpine, my sentaments exactly. I think the Euro is a great car, and was totally in love with it when I first saw it. However as much as I disliked the Japanese/Thai accord the shape grew on me over time.

I have owned a few quick cars in my time, and for me it's time to buy something that looks stylish and respectable for clients to ride with me if need be and is good on fuel around town which can be up to 1000km per week city driving! That is why I am more interested in the 4cyl model rather than the 6.

I am going to test drive one on Wednesday, although I have driven one of these in Jakarta, I don't know if I am expecting a different car as some components (such as suspension) and spec levels very between here and Indonesia for various reasons.

the 4cy uses as much petrol as the 6cyl ones..........

so dont worry mate.. get the v6
