I'm hearing Holdcroft Honda are offering up to £5k off new ES GT Accords….
Thats 20%, so well worth having.
Brett, have you heard this?

Ah well then.Blue Toffee said:Yes they are saloons
Honda have been behind in the petrol engine stakes for a while now. Reliable they maybe, but they haven't been producing new, efficient, petrol engines for the European market.toffee_pie said:new petrols are no longer being imported into the country
unbelievable.
Very few models of any medium / large size saloon cars sold are petrols nowadays .. Insignias , mondeos , passats, avensis , mazda 6 , a4 , 3 series , how many of these are sold as diesels now as opposed to petrols ...? Probably 90% to 10% ? Truth is diesels arent the 90s clatter boxes they used to be and are equal to if not better in performance than a similar priced petrol model yet with much cheaper tax and miles better economy ... Seems that honda are just the first to drop petrol on their already pitiful sales accords due to lack of demand but i doubt theyll be the last .... Im sure given an equal playing field petrol would be the fuel of choice for everyone , but the way of the world and governments are forcing people to go down the diesel / hybrid / tiny petrol engine routeOsiris said:I'm no lover of diesel, under any circumstances, and I truly can't believe that you cannot buy a brand new Type S Accord with a petrol engine! I thought the 'S' was for sport, not steady...... I had a look on the Honda site last night and they only list the 2.4 Petrol in the EX model. Frankly, a disgrace. Honda, famed for high revving, punchy V-TEC engines is reduced to the level of selling boring, diesel rep-mobiles because people in the UK are under the illusion that buying diesel is going to save them money even though they only drive 5 miles a day to the shops and back......
/rant over.
Can't argue with the Economy and Tax advantages of diesel, i'm just glad I don't do enough miles to need one. Fortunately my wife and I are both of the same view point on Petrol Vs. Diesel (she drives a Mondeo V6) so i'll be clinging to the green pump for a long as possible.8thgenfan said:Very few models of any medium / large size saloon cars sold are petrols nowadays ..
