Took delivery of my standars automatic Buran Silver Accord Euro on Monday,and am very impressed with the finish,quality,style,and driveability.

Looked at the Mazda 6 too,but IMHO,THe Euro beats it hands down .

Oh, and what is the chapter on HFT (hands free telephone) about. Is this the same as bluetooth etc. Why is it not an option here?

I have had my Euro Luxry manual for 6 months now and generaly conduct freeway driving. Very impressed with the fuel economy, averaging about 7.3l/100Kms. Included are some steep long hills, where the cruise does not miss a beat sitting on 120Kph in 6th. Love the 6 speed.
As for the pinging, there is a faint ping, however, I have not heard it when using 98RON, only 95. Perhaps Oz fuel is a little inferior. However, I did advise the dealership to have a look at my 20K service, they did advise me aobut 60% of the new Euro\’s have this problem, and there are several tests that need to be conducted on the next service.
As for the bluetooth, not really happy with the aftermarket version. The speaker is not very audible, and I must continually turn it to full volume on each call. Not sure if full vol can be set as a standard.

I bought a 2008 Euro STD 6 speed manual three weeks ago.

This is a fantastic car with nice handling and excellent comfort for four adults with luggage.
Overall the engine is an excellent unit with smooth power deliver and ample torque. However, one problem that I noticed is that the engine pings (faintly) under acceleration especially at highway speeds. This is manageable and in cruise control this pinging almost disappears. I reported this issue to the Honda dealer during the first service and am advised that there is a firmware fix which will be released in the first week of March.

Overall a fantastic package and excellent value for money.

Just a quick post…

I have just bought a Honda Accord Euro, (luxury) and i am over the moon with the purchase. What a car, all the standard features in an optioned Lexus IS250, which is the other car i was going to buy. I test drove them both and the euro slammed it hands down. If your looking for high end value in an affordable car, go the euro, you wont be disappointed

I love this car!!! It is alround brilliant. The badge snobs are missing out on a lot of good (Japanese) cars in my opinion. The base Mercedes C-Class is way pricier yet doesn’t have the kit or size to match. Personally, I don’t like the sound or feel to their 1.8 litre Kopressor (sorry if I spelt it wrong) engines. They just have such a strained feeling.
I wouldn’t know if I’d prefer this or a Renault Laguna. This car is cheaper and overall great value, very well built and the sat-nav is standard. The only thing is if this car sells as well as I expect, it might (though I hope not) look aged quickly (in my opinion, like the new Mazda 6). I love the styling of this, but the Laguna has more individuality though. Tough choice!
And by the way, sorry for bringing up the Laguna again, I’m sure you guys are sick of it haha!
Love the Accord Euro!!! Much better than the Mazda 6!!! (in my opinion)
Congrats on your purchase Sketch.
