Interesting Bits Inside Your Euro..

I think $80-90k and there will only be one model with the full on leather and woodgrain (I need to read that Legend article again).

What Lexus twins? I hope you are not thinking of the IS250 and GS300. Firstly, the IS250 is too small to be compared as a Legend rival. Heck, it's even smaller than the Accord Euro. The GS300 on the other hand already costs $95,200 and the GS300 Lux seems too good to be true. An extra $17,000 just for 14 speaker audio (I can't find the difference between the 2 models, even the wheels are the same)?!?!?!?!?!

GS300's 183kW engine makes 61kW/litre using DOHC, direct injection and variable valve. Legend's 221kW engine makes 63kW/litre using SOHC VTEC only on the intake side! Give me the Legend.

I'm not pro-Honda. If it was between the IS250 and the Accord Euro, I would go for the IS250 if the rear seats could accomodate someone of my size (and heck I am thin!)

the break will lock itself :)

It's not that the brakes are locked, it's just that the power assist to the brakes are shut off when the engine is off, you can try that on any car, it will become almost impossible to press after a few pumps on the pedal....

I didn't know about the drink holder segment thing till I read this thread!!

I was going mad about this saying how stupid it was not to have it at the front! I was putting my drinks into the BACK SEAT middle section and reaching back for it on my morning drives!

Now I realise it was there all along but I had just never seen it or read the manual!!

LOL @ putting drinks in back seat
HAHAHA!!
i had my dealership guy show me what everything did before i drove off, but seems he missed a few things.

The next car I have, I really want to have one that checks the tyre pressures automatically!

THAT - is a big safety feature. Someone should write that to Honda :)

Would you like a back massager and mini fridge built in as well? :D j/k

Yeah a tyre pressure reading would be very handy, but sounds a bit expensive to implement.

You can get those wireless tyre pressure sensors off ebay if you really want that. They mount to the rim so you need to remount your tyres and balance but otherwise no big deal.

I can't vouch for this item or seller - just making the point that they are available for not much cash

Sounds like a good alternative option. I think some of the Holden HSVs have the tyre pressure detector built in!

Hey... mini Fridge should be optional IMO :P

Just the assurance of warranty coverage for factory parts that's all. And perfect fitment.

Having said that the Euro Accord has a lot of features that other cars don't think about at all already.

True, like side mirror indicators :)

Only some Mercs, some BMW's, Mazda 6, '06 Jazz, and current Liberty have them ;)

But I bet every car and its dog will have them in a few years...

Speaking of side mirror indicators.

I 'think' I remember Merc Benz brought them out first, as they always do regarding safety features. And I remember anticipating when BMW will also have them... but it took them a few years, probably because they didn't want to be looked at as copy-cats of Mercs! But Liberty was the first Jap car I remember that copied the idea, and then there's the Euro Accord!

Sorry if the mod thinks its off topic a bit.

Interesting bits? the VSA button lol

allows for ' a more spirited drive' :D
