I used and abused the forum for about 12 months during 2013 to 2014, along with a Volvo forum and Audi forum, as i was looking to change to an estate car, Tourer or V70 or A6 Avant. I did the normal thing and read through the faults/cost of ownership of all marques to gauge the best buy. Volvo and Audi forums had lists and lists of posts about faults and expensive parts, for example Volvo D5 clutch replacement is around £1,900.
The majority of posts on the TA forum were around modding and upgrading, with a peppering of faults, unlike the other two forums. I finally went for the Honda in October 2014.
Based purely on the feedback from reviews, this forum, and other local owners of Hondas - and was getting fed up of being crippled in the snow with rear wheel drive!!
Previously i used to buy german, Beemers or Merx, and one terrible experience with a Renault Laguna, good experiences with a Jag X-type and Isuzu Bighorn LWB.
I wish i had the knowledge to have gone with Honda sooner, as i have always had bikes by Honda in the past. I must say though the look of the 7th gen Accord is proper nice, i think it still fits in and holds the cred with newer shaped cars on the road today.
One thing i did read on the web is that the Honda is for the 'older gentleman', but i don't think there are many of the stereotypical age group ***ociated with the marque on this forum.
Feedback for the founders, moderators, admin staff and members of the forum?...............
