Need info on the new accord euro. should i buy it?

[Faiz]

how fast does it do 0-100 in seconds. and i dont know if i should buy it but it looks great. The only reason im hesitating is because of the small v4 engine. its got great fuel economy but i was looks for some thing sporty. i was leaning towards the fords and holdens but i dont like them. but they do have lots of torque and KW of power though which was the only reason. Is the euro practical meaning its goes hard and handles good and performance. Please can you guys provide me with some info because i really need advice.

I think it does about low 8s for 0-100 dash.
Not sure, but I think I saw the figure somewhere.
You are talking about the Euro, right?
If it's the other Accord you are talking about, my guess is it will be slower than Euro.
Falcon and Commodore do have powerful engine but they are very heavy compared to Euro. I don't know the exact figures because I have absolutely no interest in either Falcon and Commodore, but I'm pretty sure the lower end models won't be very quick off the line due to the weight.

I thought euros were like 1400kg? Is that even light? :P

Fact is if you want a good car get a Honda. Want a car that every second person in Oz has, then get the Ford/Holden. If you are after sheer HP then dont get the euro, if you are after a stylish car that oozes class, then the euro is for you. I know which I would be choosing

And luxury added for that price too!

Not to mention the extra poke of vrooom vroom when u need it...

Euro is branded one of the best cars Honda came out with too..

hmm ... how much power does one need on suburban roads ... matter of fact even highway driving ...

140kw seems plenty for me ... sporty actually i've seen 0-100 times of 7.9 7.7 in some mags ... not huge .. but u know ok ...

beautiful styling ... excellent build quality ... brilliant overall finish ...

and rated as one of the best honda built cars in years

If you get the standard trim 6mt it is quick enough for most people.

These guys in NZ got 7.6 seconds to 100kms. It is the same model we get here in terms of weight, rim size, etc.

Say after 20,000 kms - I think 7.5 seconds to 100ks is achievable. My car has 5000kms and it feels like it is getting faster every week.

Highway power is also good - 80-120 in 3rd gear is surprisingly quick!

the euro was made to be a sportish sedan.... as much as a luxury car you think it is

does the front wheel drive make it a problem for bumby holey roads? acceleration doesnt sound bad though. would you guys reccomend any other cars in the same price range?

Q1 - No.

Q2 - There are plenty of good cars out there. Go out and drive them. I tested lots of cars in the $30-40k price range. Mazda 6, Subaru Liberty, etc. The Euro was the best of the lot by a country mile... Get off the forums - go down to a Honda dealership - and take a 6MT Euro for a long drive.

The Mazda 6 has got the worst shifter among the cars I tested.. Even the Mazda 3's shifter felt better... Listen to da maan! Go to Honda and secure yourself a Euro
