New CU2 Accord Euro - My car, my review!

[aaronng]

How about the normal Accord? That is the Inspire... Is it built in Japan too? Or Thailand... Thanks.

Inspire is built in Japan. Accord is built in Thailand. US Accord (exact same as our Thai Accord) is built in USA.

Russia must be a hugely important market for Honda.

Nice review. I was interested to hear how the increased weight vs increased engine power would measure out.

How is the build quality (I think the new Euro is no longer built in Japan), especially the interior?

Lastly, what happens if you 'don't' run the gearbox in properly?

Build quality is still top notch. Interior just seems a bit weird because the dash is a bit busy, if you know what I mean. I had a real good look over mine and I am more than happy. I think I liked the material they used for the seats in the base CL9 better than this CU2. The CU2 has like a suede effect. The quality of the material is awesome though. It is hard to get a photo of it though, something you have to see in person.

The CU2 hides its weight well, after all, it is just like 1 or 2 passengers in your CL9. Shorter gearing and more torque help.

damn extra 100kg heavier than CL9

The 100kg and bigger tires is going to hurt the acceleraction... but its still looks very good

All Yanky reports say that it's still faster than CL9.....

Look at the dyno comparing the CU2 with the 210hp 06 TSX. Big gains everywhere below 6000rpm.

Link to such dyno?
