I bought a 95Accord VTI manual Nov 2005. all i can say.....sweeeeetttttt!!! its a sweet SWEET ride! i havent done a dyno test yet so im not sure of actual speeds in tech terms. i've had no problems with it engine wise. it holds about 65-ltrs of petrol. the cruise-control is handy for long drives. comes with a stock cd-stacker and the 4-speaker system is quite impressive for stock standard. very spacious interior. powered-adjustable driving seat (height). driver srs airbag. and YES, the sunroof does attract an attention or two. hope this helps.

SORREEE typo...i meant 45L

thanx for picking up the error INCOMING. peace out!

if u r referring to the current model of accord VTI 2.4l, then i can give u a bit idea..
as someone already mentioned.. its not quick... as its heavy weight so a bit out-powered 114kw ( correct me if i am wrong)engine...
i had driven one as curtesy car and its actually quite okay to drive... if u r not after speed.. then i guess this car would do...
as u said its for business use... it definitely look elegent and its big enough if u need to take ur clients with u :P

erm, i think you might find that a cd5 accord will hold approx 64 litres of petrol.

hmmmm.....let me double-check next time i fill up aight?!?! im not so sure now.

The 2.4 is slow dude, I mean 118kw (CRV engine) Auto tranny pulling 1435kg is painful in my opinion. A manual tranny isnt available unfortunately.

Personally I would either save up an extra 6 grand and get the V6, or buy a second hand Accord Euro

The Euro is considerably quicker (140kw) and a bit lighter and also more fuel efficient (9.1 vs 9.3), and are built better. How can u go wrong?

sorry I mean the current vti accord, I did say new didn't I. Performance is not the issue, economy and comfort are important - it is going to be a work car doing about 500 kms p/week.
