I love driving her! I use her everyday to go to work and back which is a 45 miles round trip and she never misses a beat.
My Mrs has a Peugeot 208 1.2vti which is our eco car, you know £20 to tax and 60MPG etc, so I explained to her that its essential that we balance it out with an older, thirstier car that I can tinker with! The Accord has proved to be extremely reliable, dependable and to be fair to the old girl not to bad on fuel. I return 42 MPG.
The old tank was very well looked after by the one previous owner. She came with full Honda history, 72k, new tyres and a full years MOT the list goes on, but regardless of this, the dealer I bought it off just wanted rid, she was P/x to clear, sat right at the back of the yard all alone, £1200. I had a much higher budget but I just fell in love with it! The car was spotlessly clean inside, never been smoked in, no serious marks on the body, just polish-able scratches. I was so chuffed and still am.
I would recommend one to anyone!
