Hi All,
Apologies for asking something that's most likely written and re-written about throughout this forum: just got my 6th Gen Accord stolen and am looking at the 7th Gen Accord as a potential replacement, which I need asap, hence all the rush. Are there any known major issues with the N22A1 engine, be it design ones (if any) or normal wear and tear ones to expect at ~100k miles and up? Also how does it tolerate predominantly short distance trips? I've never owned a car with a diesel engine yet and am attracted to it mainly because of its much higher torque at low rpms but many say no modern diesel engine would withstand the lack of frequent long distance trips (I suppose because of the DPF).
Many thanks in anticipation!
