HONDA ACCORD review in detail:

This is highly recommended to those drivers who enjoy a precise, stable vehicle that's a real pleasure to drive along hard and fast. Easing oneself into the Honda Accord Euro, it's hard not to be impressed with not only the attention to detail, but also the quality feel that permeates almost everything in sight. It is easy to live with on a daily commuting basis and can easily be used as a family car as well.

The suspension setup, which some say is one of the best in its class, remains unchanged.

The car turns in nicely, generally responds to throttle changes with a minimum of fuss and always lets the driver know what the front wheels are doing. Honda Accord Euro continues to be one of the benchmark cars in its class.

There's also the option of a larger, slightly softer Accord that is designed for the American market (which is simply called the Accord).

Australians have a wide variety of ideas on how cars should behave, so it's no surprise that ours is one of the few countries to offer both Accord variants.

Honda has done a nice job of smoothing out the Euro's engine to almost six-cylinder standards even though four-cylinder engines aren't necessarily the norm in this price class. The American Accord comes with either a lower-powered four or a V6.

The front seats have a mild side bolsters and are heated too, perfect for cold early morning starts. The overall feel inside the car is one of a compromise between an upmarket family car and a sports car, and it gives the Accord Euro a very distinct and pleasing feel.

The boot is deep, is generally easy to load and has plenty of volume.

When will the HONDA ACCORD be updated next?

The next generation Accord Euro will have an optional diesel engine, but it is unclear whether it will make it to Australia.
