Having monitored your site since ordering my new Accord Euro I am glad to say I picked it up on the weekend. I chose the manual baseline model as we already have a Pajero Exceed for the family. Having driven my wifes' 10 year old Ford Festiva for the last few years you can imagine the jump in vehicle quality. Reminds me of my previous cars including a boosted 5 speed VL turbo manual and a Mitsubishi Galant GSR, again manual. All my last few vehicles have been manual and I love "driving".
The downside has been a slight glitch with installation as per the dealer of the optional fog lamps. The leather trim around the steering wheel was loose (I glued it down eventually). Still slight gap around the steering console where the indicator stalk was changed (they will review this). Out of suspicion I further inspected the bumper assembly and found one plastic stud cracked over the radiator cover and underneath the car a loose underbody flap where whoever did the installation had "missed" the hole with the stud that connected the bumper to this flap. I fixed that again myself, though having spoken to the sales manager and delivery manager today they were both very apologetic but admitted they did not inspect the vehicle in detail before handover. They will have everything rechecked at first service (1000km). They are minor issues but it pays to look closely.
Other than that the car itself is "SWEET" and I look forward to getting some quality driving time soon.
