NEW 2009 EURO - at the track...

[MKI4EVA]

The '09 is how they are telling the difference between the old and new.
Mine will be an '08 build, but it is an '09 model if you know what I mean.

Mine should be ready this week.

ah ic.........i'm quite keen to test drive a manual now actually.

test drove a 09 euro auto lux, honestly wasn't really fussed on it ... interior is good and all features is awesome but really wasn't impressed on handling and the power... thou does sound very grunty high revs...

manual could be a different story - but atm i prefer the old one!!

a review from cars guide: http://carsguide.news.com.au/site/re...a_accord_euro/

There is another review here- also says that the car has a 5 star Euro NCAP safety rating - first time I have read that.

Safety also improves for the new Honda Accord Euro, which has scored the maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating (the old model scored four stars). The base model is also now fitted with curtain airbags (for six in total) and active front head restraints.

Wheels also have a review of their first drive of euro, but that was in Europe and prior to Honda Australia releasing the price (they estimated it $35k for base and $45k for lux). In the article it's claimed euro 147kw. Not sure where the extra 1kw comes from in Oz.

Most of these reviews are the same....

I find this a little odd:

"ON THE ROAD
the new Euro feels like the larger car that it is, not as light on its feet and perhaps not as nimble.
Although the two cars share the same size 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine, it generates more power this time around and the car feels heavier in the front end.
The steering is precise and well weighted, but lacks the driver feedback of the previous model.
That's not to say the car doesn't handle, because if anything it probably performs better in this department.
"

all the specifics point to a not so good handling car but it stil concludes that it 'handles'?

And better at that???

This is why I don't like mag reviews. If the first mag to review it bags it, then all the others seem to follow.

Best thing is park you ass in the car and see for yourself!

Silly review. Not as nimble nor light on its feet, but the car handles better than the old one?????
