EURO Disappointment!!

wot's the point of me typing? Hehehe...

I agree Mr President.

Any More Constructive Criticism Ladies

I think that you should formulate your own opinion for everything, and do your own investigating.

Too many people out there just think, oh ABC is crap because everyone thinks so.

E.g. Remember when WRX's first came out, and Wheels and Motor magazines used to say "IT DOESNT UNDERSTEER" well, maybe compared to Falcodore barges it doesnt understeer, but yeah, it certainly DOES understeer.

Formulate your own opinions my friend.

I think the Euro's are a great buy.

Reading comments elsewhere on this forum I think we're taking this post farrr too seriously.....

[Pumped]

No complaints from me

[blueeuro]

People generally only post about issues, because that's what they need help with.

If we all posted constantly about how good they were, people wouild think we were on some sort of kick back with Honda.

I have no complaints about my Euro.

[Slugoid]

I'm curious as to exactly what these problems are on the Euro.

Edit: wooosa....ignore GEN46L

Yeah, the Euro is pretty shoddy in terms of quality. I've had mine for over 2 years and it didn't have any problems. I thrashed it all the time and to my disappointment, it was still running perfectly. I'm pretty disappointed overall with them in terms of reliability. Maybe you should consider the Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima as they are much better cars.



No car is perfect, and no mass produced car is defect free. I'm curious as to exactly what these "major problems" on the Euro are. No, I don't think the Euro is the best car around, but they are far from unreliable or suffer from major problem or defects.

don't even worry about it man..the guy obviously has a very low IQ.

I cant believe this thread is still open, I mean the Euro is quite possibly Honda best ever car.

The reason there are so many Euro posts is because Honda are selling them by the bucket load. Based on Sept 04 figures:

\Per Month:
Accord Euro 930
Integra 33
Legend 2
S2000 3
MDX 38
Accord Blando 167
Civic 457
Jazz 668
Hybrid 23
Odyssey 410

I mean look at the Jazz section - its more popular than this section plus there are many more problems people are experiencing...

(yeah 20 months ago but figures are similar now)

I've had one for a year or so and it's given me no problems so far.

My Euro has a few rattles and quibbles but even after 18 months of ownership I still smile every time I drive. I have also had the opportunity to drive and be driven in a few "prestige" marks (including European) and all cars have minor issues with them - I still prefer my Euro over anything else on the market at the moment. In fact, my car is leased and every three years like clockwork i replace my car (often before the lease expires) and I am seriously thinking about buying my Euro out at the end. I have sold two Euros to a friend and family member after they drove mine. This could have been dangerous for the relationships because they bought on my recommendation but both are very happy europhiles. Lucky me got the $250 finders fee from the dealer for each.
This thread was obviously designed to get owners backs up and of course Euro owners will respond - not because we are blinded or feel we have to justify our purchase but because the Euro is a good car and doesn't deserve this useless flack. Also I am sure we all had the choice of others makes and models but chose the Euro for the package it offers - not because we think it is a perfect car that is fault free. I dont worship a Euro shrine or pray to the Honda God. I drive a good car and enjoy every moment - the door rattles and other annoyances are a very minor price to pay. Ignorant / uninformed comments drive me nuts and i had to have my two cents worth. I apologise for extending this baseless thread further.

I had a chance to rent Mitsubishi 380 on my recent trip to Adelaide (was flying there, hence the rent car), and I can say the euro is a much better handling car compared to 380. The 380's rear end feels wobbly, has shitty brakes & easily overheat (maybe because of rent car though), and the cruise control struggle to keep the car at constant speed on incline, and just let it go (not braking or anything) on decline.

[Omotesando]

I don't think anyone had never complained about a car they have owned in their lifetime!


However, I got to say the Euro is the car that has impressed me the most, ever.
Generally speaking.


The quality of finish and the engineers' afterthoughts on everything inside the car is so high - it is better than most European counterparts.


If it has that 1-light-on option for use in dark areas, also TV option, around 15% more low-mid-range torque or even a 6 Cylinders with around 206KW, and dare I say Rear Wheel Drive - and if being sold for roughly $50000-55000, I don't see why this car wouldn't be stealing all the sales from BMW or Mercedes and also Lexus.


Look at how well the IS250 is selling. Honda can do that for a cheaper price and similar quality I think. Not to mention Honda's engines are better than Toyota's when comparing Paper KW vs Actual performance for some unknown reason.


Euro's engine is a gem in any sense. There is no better 4 cylinder NA out there which is better, including the Integra or S2000 engines which are way too peaky. We just need a 6 or V6!
