[CU2] Hondas claimed 0-100 time and top speed

[yfin]

Interestingly this isn't on the honda Australia web site:

http://www.honda.co.uk/accord/#specs

Maximum speed (mph)141 (manual and auto)

Acceleration 0-62 mph (secs) 7.8 (MANUAL)

Acceleration 0-62 mph (secs) 9.5 (AUTO)

141mph is 227kph

These times are for what appears to be specs similar to our lux model (leather seats, etc).

Fuel economy figures are also more useful in the UK (separate urban and extra urban)

MANUAL
Urban (l/100km) 11.9
Urban (mpg) 23.7
Extra urban (l/100km) 7.0
Extra urban (mpg) 40.4
Combined (l/100km) 8.5
Combined (mpg) 32.1
CO2 (g/km) 209

AUTO
Urban (l/100km) 12.0
Urban (mpg) 23.5
Extra urban (l/100km) 6.6
Extra urban (mpg) 42.8
Combined (l/100km) 8.6
Combined (mpg) 32.8
CO2 (g/km) 204

mmm so its a bit slower than the cl9

[Type R Positive]

227km/h is very believable.
As is 7.8 0-62mph for man.

Fuel ecomomy is great.... if you drive like a grandma.

The auto seems to be a bit slower - but for the CL9 Honda UK quoted 7.9 seconds manual.

We really need to see the independent magazine tests - hard to say whether quoted times are accurate.

Not buying mine in order to get fantastic fuel economy. Want a great fun car to drive and great build quality for the price..

The missus wouldn't let me buy second hand (so many great cars around $40k), and she hates hatchbacks. So no civic type R.

Next car is what ever the hell I want!!!
(I seem to keep saying that, D'OH!)

That urban fuel economy figure is disturbing. i get 10L/100km flogging the jesus out of my CL9.

But 11.9 by a tester in town is shocking. Lets see some real world figures.

The CU2's slightly shorter gear ratios will be cancelled out by the larger rolling diameter of the tyres.

Do you do any highway (anything above 80km/h) kms?
When you flog it, you should get above 15L/100km, otherwise you are not really flogging it. When I flog it, I get 28L/100km.
Pure start stop at under 60km/h, I get 10.5L/100km and pure freeway, I get 7L/100km. Combined now for work, I get 9.4L/100km.

holy crap 28L/100km, i am guessing that 28L/100km was during the week when you tracked your car.
