Model/Spec: Mk8 CU2, EX GT Accord 2.2 I-Dtec
Year: 2008 (58 plate)
Mileage: 164800
How long owned: 2 years
Problems you've had:
Passenger front window switch module - fixed it somehow by putting it in the oven
ABS rear sensor - intermittent drop out
Turbo vanes blockage - only happened recently as I've not been doing long journeys due to Covid
Changing headlight bulbs is a pain in the ***!
Overall marks (/10): In my honest opinion I would say 8.5/10. It has had a few issues but nothing major really, its at the age where things are expected to start to wearing out!
The satnav system took a while to get my head around it's not the easiest or most user-friendly software!
I still don't know how to use the handsfree, I just use the aux!
The premium sound system is brilliant! I love my music so this was one of the requirements it had to have!
It's very comfortable on short or long journies, lovely car to drive its very sturdy and can handle being chucked out a bit.
Mine has had a remap, egr and DPF delete, I also had a twin exhaust made which suits the car perfectly and put an import rear number plate on which changes the look of the car so much... for the better!
This has been, on the whole, one of the best cars I have owned. In terms of reliability, style (I love the look of it) and practicality, I can't complain it's just been a great car. Probably worth noting that this is the newest car I have ever owned haha, I'm used to late 80's Hondas/Nissans and generally crap cars. But even cars I have driven this has been one of the nicest.
