so is anyone thinking of/has done this ?
new accord/euro looks very nice
the v6 accord would be awesome
our mr stocky pocky euro is a bit dented and scratched up now - its a daily driving and gets parked in shopping centre carpaks - so trolleys come and bite it
wonder how much our 03 auto euro is worth trade in/private sale...not much im guessing. wonder if its even worth it. mite go for a test drive ey !
Definitely not me :DQuote:

I didn't look anything different to me in flesh compared to the photos. Very aggressive lines.
Boot is definitely an absolute shocker. Also, the boot opening (if you know what I mean) is definitely a lot smaller than the 08 model.
Few more pockets inside (neat one in the centre console next to the legs), but also the arm rest console only has one opening and it's also smaller on the inside.
I didn't try the sat-nav version, but it didn't look like the touch-screen to me on the display. I could be wrong...
Also, I saw comments here about the A pillar being smaller with more visibility: I didn't have a ruler to measure it, but I just didn't notice this at all (and I was looking for it).
Now the really contentious comment - it felt a bit more cramped inside for me than the 08. Maybe it's the sportier driving position, but I tried this in two different 09s they had there (std and lux) and I felt the same. It's really weird 'cos it's definitely a wider car...
I can't comment on the driving - it was 5pm traffic so...
My final comment/flamebait: it's a great competitor to Mazda 3 (definitely not Mazda 6)! :p
how many km's you got on it?
has it got much visible damage?
not me....i've got 2007 model...and to think that it will only valued at least 20k......emmmm....maybe next time
I pick up my CU2 beast today!!!
Anyways, if I still had my CL9, I'd wait for the turbo diesel, no doubt about it.
You will also get better bargaining power later on.....
nah i like the tuning options of our euro atm =P
and im likely goin turbo next car round (well id like to hope so)
thou the knew one is starting to grow on me.
but still not as good lookin as the good ol 03-05 euro-r
I'm keeping mine til it goes to the scrap yard. My 04 has served me well, so I will keep using it.... Same with the scrapes and dents though. :(
we already have an 06 mazda 3 :DQuote:

and in regards to scratches and dents - nothing that a good cut and polish and pop out wont cure. actually thinking of getting one. the scratches are pretty minor, theres just a fair few of them
and our euro has fairly low K's for an 03 - less than 120,000 !!!
maybe just get a real nice cut n polish, and then lower with some rims. this is my parents car after all haha. but still comfy as
just waiting on exams to finish this friday, then im free to do all sorts of stuff ive been putting off !
hmmm damn everyone on this forum has large massive mileage.
Mine was one of the first euros 03 and i have only about 65xxxk, that must mean i don't drive much.
kam - I'd say you'd get under 20k
Thought about trading mine in for a new one, after thinking it through over the last few days i think id still want a bit more power then the euro offers
If it sells for a decent amount i'll let it go and look at a daily, or maybe even go for an evo 7 or 04 350z
Otherwise i dont mind keeping the CL9 :) shes served me well, and has under 30k kms on it :) (still a virgin lol)
the accord has a v6...but im not too sure as to the differences between the accord and the accord euro ? is one just phyiscally bigger than the otherQuote:
