i know quite a few people with this generation accords now

what engine is in this one and what work done to it as one mate has just bought a 03 2.0 vtec one and wants to mod it

I think this one may be an I-CDTi? out of the recent Accords this is the best shape imo.

Nice cars- we have an exec Tourer

Clutches are rubbish- not up to diesel torque (especially when mapped!)

Manifold cracked & ABS modulator failed. Both common faults. Fortunately covered by warranty.....

Great accord. I have a face lift i-cdti and its a great car, best car i have owned.
It has so many toys for the money.

With all the common faults i have yet to experience any of them and i have owned the car for nearly a year now and have driven over 25k miles in it

Lovely to drive and nicely refined too. road noise could be lower though but it could be blamed on the tyres. I have uniroyals rainsport 2 and those aren't the quietest tyres

Always use v power diesel - these engines love it
Clutches are poo but are ok if they are not stressed out.

I was going to buy a 2006 lexus 220d but i am glad i stuck to a Honda - excellent value for money
