Hi All
My trusty 2004 Accord Ex diesel saloon, originally imported from UK is on its last legs. With almost 250,000 miles up, a rattle from the timing chain area has prompted a Honda mechanic to conclude "Let it go...you got your value from it!"
I'm thinking of replacing with an 8th gen Tourer (preferably Ex again) diesel. My question is should I go for manual or automatic? I don't see a lot written-good or bad-on the auto but it definitely doesn't get as much praise as say the BMW 5 series f11 auto box.
Any opinions on trim/spec levels also welcome, particularly Ex v. S
Thanks All
