Cheers. Shall have to await the test-drive in late April.

Styling-wise, Honda seem to get about halfway there, then blend in some silly design features that don't gel, often. Surely there are some...

Yeah, I got the pricing there. Wife was on laptop.. she'd accessed a more detailed one. Not sure which site now..

Thanks for comments, ppl.

Dxs, are saying the new suspension is under-par...as in multi-link but doesn't work as it maybe should?

Generally, really not sure which way to head. Am subjectively...

Wife making noises about the (US-market) 2013 plated 2.4L Accord being too big, specially for her fluvax work & stuff...city car parks...but generally.
Accord has factory body kit, and we've been...

Good info. Thanks

Thanks for the replies.
Hondarally, FIL isn't a mech,. he's just had a lifetime obsession with cars. Having said that, such an opinion is in-character; a spot of grumpy old man, I suspect. He had...

Bought 2.4 Accord (US market model, made in Thailand), in March 2013. Wife got stuck in basement car parking at the in-laws'. Luckily, Assist, in form of NRMA, diagnosed a dud battery; FIL suggested...

Thought I'd update, for those kind enough to reply here.
Still super-happy with it; the drive... everything. But am about to wrap some warranty issues, which may be of interest.
Let me preface by...

Nice tip. Cheers..

Yes, of course, the reverse can apply.. parts going into Japan. One has the mindset that MIJ means everything MIJ. As you've experienced, maybe not so.

Interesting. Thank you. Just global manufacture these days, I guess.

Fixed under Warranty at Autosports Honda. Happiness is a silent-running Accord. :)

Not specifically Honda, obviously, but seem to be a friendly bunch here.
Sustained last weekend, I think, returning from Lake Macquarie on the F3/M1. Usually I live with these until the windscreen...

So looks like we're well into FTA-Land. Very fuzzy around the edges.

Picked up Friday. Bliss, noise gone...

Curiosity question only; anyone know, in regards to manufacture say, in Thailand, whether all/most components ship in from Japan, then offshore assembly...

Am hoping for this to be a one-off hiccup. Having said that, my FIL had a very expensive issue with a C Class, not too far out of Warranty, and next door neighbour an expensive issue with his 3...

Pretty much how I was thinking. Thanks for the reply.

Have 2013 plate Accord (US-style/Thailand), delivery march '14. About 2 weeks ago, road speed-dependent hum (low roar at 80 kph+), passenger side front.
Currently at dealer; replacement under...

... yep, hence my proviso comment.:)

I have the dealer nano-paint coating. (I'll expect some 'why did you get it done there? questions, I know...:() But, I have some small 'squished' insects from a drive to the Gold Coast, plus a small...

Thanks for the info/leads...
Drives very nicely. Can't imagine how a DI would be; noticeably better, I assume. But yeah, opinion is divided over CVT.
Actually, the ideal would be VW Group's 7-speed...

Interesting. I'll follow up on this. Was aware of the separate US manufacture, but had (wrongly, it seems) assumed that this would be the same engine but made in (most likely) Thailand.'Not so, it...

Interesting, Fredoops. Here's a pic under the bonnet. Certainly looks like the pic from the Wards Top 10 article. But then looks can be deceiving. Is the difference at the back side (Injection),...

Thanks. Sticking with 95 for the time being. Great motor

Yes, they all seem to be morphing towards each other, don't they...

What's the general consensus on 95/98 RON fuel. Won't actively harm things by using, rather than E10?
