    I-dtec noise

    Reaching out to all you 'dirty' diesel owners. How do your engines sound? My accord has only done 39,000 miles and has been regularly serviced. However I think it does sound quite rough on start up and lower rev accelerating. Is it just mine or is this just the I-Dtec noise?

    Are there any good points to a 2.2 Auto?

    Dashboard Light/Symbol Identification

    Hi all, I have recently put a deposit down on an 09 Accord i-dtec. However I noticed a symbol on the dashboard and the 'i' symbol was lit up above the speedo. The symbol included something that looked like an '8' and had a sunshine and frost symbol. What does this represent? I've scoured the...
