Depends which luxury Accord you are talking about...

The Euro is IMHO a far more desirable car than the normal daggy old mans Accord...

I reckon, go for a ride or spin in that 320i and then decide. We each have our own opinion and it is different to your likes and dislikes.

IMO, they are both bloated pigs but one is under-powered, has become transformer-ish looking, and has less room inside despite being huge.

I'll admit I don't drive with much fuel economy in mind but that's still very high. I think its because I do a lot of small trips? (less than 10mins) How do you drive?

The back seat is suprisingly small for a large car. Though most people who have sat in the back of my car have said it was spacious (and I'm pretty tall).

You're not the only one - I'm getting similar figures from mine (between 12 and 13 L/100km), where most of the trips I make in the car are either short (5-10 mins), or made in bumper to bumper traffic averaging less than 20km/h.

I used to drive long distances for work (~ 130km per day, approx 50% of that at 100km/h+) I was able to get an average fuel economy around the 10L/100km mark. Would've been even better had I not been stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for the other 50% of my time not spent at 100km/h+!

Oh so it's not only me. Seemed like so many members were getting 10L/100km or under on this forum, even with alot of city driving.

It seems from most of your comments that you're looking for someone to convince you that you are making the right decision in getting the BMW. Doesn't seem to be a hard one to figure out that its the one you want. Go get the 320i and be done with it.

I do really like the 320i but thats not the case. Mostly because some people on the forum (I guess this is a Honda forum) only mention good things about the Euro but don't really say why it is better than the BMW (obviously not everyone) which leads me to say positive things about the BMW to balance it out.

We are pretty much going to get it now, just waiting on whether relative trades in or not. They are still deciding
