Type s accord

[neilmeagher]

Hi guys, Managed to write off my lovely 2009 idtec ex last week on motorway. I'm looking to buy a 2010-2012 idtec type s 180bhp. Just wondering is there any known faults to look out for. What is the fuel economy like compared to ex model. Also is the ride alot harder compared to ex model.

For info the Accord seems to be a very safe car. I rolled it onto the roof at 80mph and did not get a scratch or maybe I was just lucky!!!!

Glad to hear you're ok!!

The facelift is just as good and in fact improved over the pre facelift. They do suffer the same DPF issues though so budget that in mind.
