I saw your sweet humble honest face and felt bad for smiling when you forgot momentarily what a sunroof is called and laughing out loud slapping my knee when you discovered you`d locked yourself in the rear seat. Great review with great insights. Felt like a friend was talking rather than a rehearsed script. Thank you. Helped a lot.
@@QuickExpertReviews God Bless You. Truthfulness always touches the heart and soul my brother. Works both ways in this scenario. Keep up the good work.
Had one of these shape accords too, mine was excellent it had 179k on it and that's one car I regret selling, I'm still keeping an eye on its mot history and its still on the road now with 196k miles 2 years later from me owning. Very reliable, nippy too, very nice notchy gearboxes unlike stupid annoying clunky German VW/Skoda/Audi gearboxes... I might buy another accord. They are that good!! Great review 👌
I used to have a 2005 2.4 6MT. Great wee car in artic blue and black interior. Revved to the sky and also a great motorway cruiser. Uber reliable and quite quick. Nice review.
Great cars. I own a 2004 Tourer. Agree with everything you say. I owned Ford Mondeos before this. As they got older things stopped working. Everything on the Honda still works! Feels like it's built by engineers rather than accountants!
Excellent review i have one of these myself and he's spot on about the details of the car I've 300,000 on my accord now and the original clutch is only now getting replaced,they are very well made for the length of time the parts tend to last in them
I have a 2005 2.2 diesel on 212,000 miles. It still drives perfect and just passed its MOT yesterday with just an advisory for rear pads getting low. Honda's truly go forever
Bro it honestly feels like a friend is doing the review instead of a script reading journalist. so well done and I love your way of doing the review! I would love to own one of these cars one day. May God/Allah Bless you and guide you what is best for you in this life and the hereafter! ❤❤
I had a 2002 honda, I was the fourth owner, it has been crashed 2 times by previous owners, and it still works perfectly. Old Hondas are truly well made cars
I like what you've done with the video. Nice review. I've had my 2003 CL9 Type-S for two years now and I've been loving it. Has it's issues and parts that went bad but having bought a car used and it was built in 2002, wear and tear is a must. Overall it has been running good. Regular maintenance and proper handling let's any vehicle, especially a car like this, to last and run well.
+LKK Live Thank you! I've sold mine 2 weeks ago, and bought something else. Review coming up on Monday. Or actually first impressions as you can't really review a car within a week or two. Then after a year I'll do a proper review (if it lasts a year, that is).
I have the 2007 2.0 litre petrol SE model, which has the later, slightly Tweaked engine and I get 43mpg + if I don’t try out the VTEC too much. It has been the best overall car that I’ve ever had. About the only thing I can criticise it, is the for the ride which is firm. The droplinks need replacing regularly to stop any light clonking. Regarding the ride noise, I think it is pretty quiet, compared to competitors, but it’s really sensitive to the type and make of the tyres. cooper tyres are particularly quiet. The overriding impression is that it is super tight, very well built and everything just works with an unerring precision. It’s super reliable and still looks contemporary after all these years. I’m on 130000 miles and it feels like new in many ways, it uses no oil, always starts and none of the doors have dropped. All the doors shut with a quite whomp that puts VW to shame. The air con is on its original gas and chills the car beautifully. All parts are original, bar two callipers at the rear, 4 discs/ rotors and pads. It’s easy on the tyres and overall it’s the cheapest car I have ever run and I’ve had it for 4.5 years and 80000 miles. Oh, and corrosion, I have a tiny mark on the rear arch, that’ll take half an hour to sort. These things do not rust. Look at most Audi A3/4 or Golfs and this will not be the case, they are so much more rusty.If you want to run a car on a shoe string, get yourself a 2007 Honda Accord Euro....it’ll cost you less than £2000, wash it and polish it and it’ll look like new, I guarantee it! A brilliant car. After this one, I’ll just get the later 2008 model. Nice review.
Great video! I'm really thinking of this being my first car. And as a 25 year old who loves music I'd definitely go for the aux mod if i find someone to do it for me.
Thank you for your honest review, I just bought a 2003 accord 2000 with 147000km on the clock. I did change a few parts, all oils and filters, cleaned the MAP sensor and the EGR valve as a precautionary measure. It feels like a much newer car. Since you have mentioned it, I bought this after a 2000 318 BMW. Believe me, the trouble the BMW gave me is unbelievable. I sold it and it still had a water leak no one could trace. The cooling system on it was appalling. The Accord is a much better car altogether.
This model in Australia is called Honda Accord Euro (luxury). Honda have a standard larger Accord for the years 2003-2005. I had the 2004 model in 2007/8 and I loved it. I regretted it for years after selling it. It was one of the nicest cars I have driven and I have a 2018 VW Tiguan now but I still miss it.
Hey there Just wanted to know how is the hydrolic steering response of accord cl7 Euro r has a eps system but cl7 has hydrolic so how hard and soft is it?
Great review, great car, I agree with everything you said. Only thing I don't like is the armrest it's rock hard, no padding at all hurts my elbow on long journeys.
I have a Sport GT 2008 model it has the better touch screen satnav unit fitted with Bluetooth hands free mobile phone option and parking sensors and a few other nice extras, only about 400 GT models were made, and only available with the 2.2 I-ctdi engine.
The best Honda Accord review on RU-vid. I rarely take notice of professional reviewers who have a car for a day, do their best to find negatives and usually criticise it for not being sporty. This is a good, solid review of someone who has actually lived with and used the car in the real world. Thank you.
Manuals as a rule are always quicker....But I couldn't care less if it's slower, most of my driving is my daily commute to work where I average 50km/h...On long trips it has enough grunt for quick overtaking should I need it.
The road noise can be sorted out all you have to do is buy better tyres, accords are fussy with what tyres you use I changed mine and it’s pretty quiet in the car now.
Interesting how they have different interiors in America aka the Acura TSX. Basically the interior in this is from the 7th gen and the Honda inspire has the tsx gauges
Spare bottle of engine oil. That's about it. There's literally nothing else that could leak, break, sweat, apart from engine potentially taking some oil (normal behaviour in Honda VTEC engines). I'd say it still wouldn't take that much but just have some spare in the trunk. That's about it.
I had my Accord for two years. It was 15 years old with 77.000 miles on the clock. Not a single leak anywhere. Not saying they don’t leak, but mine didn’t.
Dziękuję Ci, I'd like to ask you about your situation now with this awesome reliable car, did you put Dynamat in it to isolate the cabin? I own a very unreliable 6 owner EP2 that is on its last legs and I bet It's louder than your Accord, I'm going to buy this one very soon I hope. You still have it?
Sold it two years ago. Amazing car, one of my favourites. EP2 is much louder (had a go in a couple on car meet ups). I do anything to the Accord to make it quieter
@@QuickExpertReviews Thanks for the quick reply. I bet it's really quiet, but not Lexus quiet, been looking trhough IS200, some badly rusted though, got to have that K20. I hope You're doing well. Cheers mate.
I have one of these car 2007 cl7 it's sweeet i love it very bad my first car i clean it daily gives no problem clean inside out drive like a new car.. miles is 176.000 very low
Would you please tell us more about the AUX input? I'm looking for the same adapter for the same audio system! Hopefully you see my message and reply as soon as possible. Thanks man
What would you like to know? It's a normal aux cable that plugs in to the back of the radio in CD Changer port. It was this one I've used. If you've got any more questions just please let me know.

@@QuickExpertReviews do you have an email so I can ask you about instructions? I find so hard to remove the drawer and I don't want to break any part of it
I have an 05 and had it since almost new, it's the first car i have had that i haven't wrecked, i don't look after my cars and have let this one run dry of oil 4 times now and it still drives great. I have just changed the spark plugs after six years and the garage said the engine still looks healthy. The only warning light i have had is the oil light.
Looking forward to buying one, found a pretty nice offer, 210 000 km, 2.4 140kw 2004 I think, the guy only mentions one of ABS sensors is not working. Wondering if thats a big deal.
Hi, I am considering buying my first car, the Accord 2.2 (Diesel), year 2006 and 150.000 km at a very good price. The car looks very good and well taken care of. Now my question is if this car is actually durable at this point, also considering that it has quite some years.. I don't want to buy a car, and then have to worry about investing money in order to change and repair pieces.. I'd really appreciate some advise :)
Mine is a 2.4 ltr and it has a pioneer sound system. I like it but find it quite bumpy and noisy. Funny enough i want to buy a Lexus ls 430. Is the Lexus buttery smooth and quiet?
I have a friend who has a Lexus LS430 and it is uncannily quiet, but the Honda VTECs are pretty smooth. The Lexus was a £50000 car, the Honda was £20000.....Japanese do rule, though, so much more reliable than German cars.
I really enjoyed having Premium Sound System. It ain’t no Lexus Mark Levinson but I would say it ain’t far off. Bass was decent, not to deep not to weak either.
Premium sound system has speakers in rear doors, the ones on the back shelf are only bass and the front tweeters are slightly different. And all of the premium sound systems are 6 CD. Tourer model has a little sub in the trunk because he don't have a rear shelf. Premium sound system has a little Pioneer amp located under the radio
I have the 2.4 (petrol) and find it’s OK, nothing more, nothing less. The interior plastics are very poor quality look and feel but seem to last and the engine is a joy above 5000rpm but below that feels lost in what should be a junior executive, probably use more petrol revving it hard everywhere I honestly thought it was broke or running on 3 cylinders for the first week I had it! (At the same time though it seems very frugal?!? ) as a cheap reliable banger they don’t disappoint, just don’t expect to get exited about it
Lord Rupert exact opposite I hope! My previous car was a Rover 820 that was much less Rev happy but would pull much better from low speeds and low RPM and that was a 20 year older engine with less HP. Although they shared lots of tech (Honda-Rover) in the 80’s I assumed the much newer, larger engined Accord would have been smoother and more powerful (it is on paper) not the other way round! It is still a decent motor though, and will probably last forever
