New CU2 Accord Euro - My car, my review!

[SPQR]

Yep, I took a photo of it this morning. It looks strange having a big hole there for a diff and axles.

There is definitely tons of room for turbo. I suppose they need room for an intercooler too. The head design makes me wonder if they are using RDX head? Cast in extractors just seems strange.

The diesel has a turbocharger. The extra room at the back for a diff could be for a SHAWD version.

You get many people having a good stare at the car while you are driving it?
Any feed back about it from non Honda drivers/owners?
Anyway I look forward to hearing your report in the next week or two!!

Nah, I live in a mining town mate. Plenty of shiny things here. I only got back late last night, and only took it for another flog this morning. I did get a few looks in Bunbury, The typical 'what the F's that?' looks, but I was only there long enough to fuel up and go.

I do wish I was in Perth though, might have got a few people that knew what it was.

Yep 2.2L TD.

I'd like SH-AWD with RDX engine though. The Yanks would go beserk over that!

They must all be driving new cars up there!!! Plenty of money nowadays in those mining towns. I suppose your car would get dirty really quick too. Hope there's plenty of water there to wash it.

I got looks once. December 27, 1984 when I drove a brand spanking new silver Ferrari 308GTSi QV into town at night. After that, never again.

Haha, my Prado looks like I went to the cape and back, but it hasn't been off road!
*Note to self, wash car!*

Taking another look at your photos I reckon the trip computer looks bigger and better on the CL9.

good writeup

looks to me the engine bay has been expanded ?

so there is less leg room, for the rear.

What, can you tell that from 1 photo?
I will post up the pics of the computer functions tomorrow. There's a few of them!

Nah, not less. Just not more.
Engine bay heaps bigger.

What i meant was because the engine bay looks like its expanded its actually pushed the front seat slightly further back which causes leg room for the rear seats to be reduced.

BUT can't really tell unless you see it personally.
