You can thumb through tracks from the wheel if you've got your I phone plugged in via USB. You can't adress the I phone menu's from the wheel though. That has to be done via the console buttons. I'm a keen mountain biker and could get one bike in without removing the wheel carefully and...

"But after a year of the Mondeo the unreliability" Hmm. Interesting. Could say the same about my Honda. Never had a car need so many trips to the dealer outside of scheduled maintenance. I too came from the blue oval !

Filled up tonight with 7 miles remaining on the display!! Put 60.45 Litres in so there must be a bit in hand cos I thought the 8 th gen has a 65 litre tank?

Coming too from a Mondeo with touch screen sat nav , I found this a bit irritating as well. The Honda does everything I need it too but not necessarily as easily as the mondy. For example there isn't an easy cancel of a traffic announcement , you have to press the TA button each time. On the...

http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/swissvax-uk.aspx?gclid=CI_46qHZzawCFYEhtAoddGmTBQ For Swissol stuff. Cant remember where I got the Sonus stuff from but it is exceptionally good and long lasting. If i find out ill update the post. Here we go-...

Can highly recommend a Sonus glaze if your looking for winter protection. I do mine once a year and top it off with a coat of Swissol wax if I'm wanting extra deep shine but not necessary. Always comes up spot on with high water beading.

Why does the two owner thing put you off? It could have been a Honda car to start with.

Now getting low to mid 40's with my 180 Bhp iDtec tourer. It was only giving 40 but as it's loosened up it's crept up a bit. It is a heavy car mind plus mines always full of tools and ***orted engineering kit! Bear with it for a bit!!

180k in 3 years. That is good going. Makes my 50k per anum a mere trip to the shops!! Hope mine does as well!

Does anyone know if HID lamps on the 8th gen accord can be made to dip the other way for driving on the continent? My previous car could easily be converted by taking the HID unit out and flicking a lever over. The local Honda dealer tells me Hondas have never done this. Just seem a bit...

Hi All. Could anyone else tell me if they experience something similar to this (especially with the 180bhp iDtec engine/Type S). When reversing very slowly, no revs,just balancing the clutch,with a warm car (ok when cold), i experience judder. No problem when in first/forward. Never had a car...

Yeah. I'll run it by the dealer when it's in for service. Won't be long at about a thousand mikes a week :o. Thanks anyway

Well guys, 2 weeks and 2.2k miles of Accord ownership in and i must admit i'm quite smitten. Just a couple of ergonomic "oddities" seem a little strange to what i have been used to in the past. One is having to remember to fold the mirrors in with the ignition still on. The other,and the reason...
