Test drive Honda Accord 4 doors 2006 - 2008 sedan
Eastern melody
Today, the sixth generation Honda Akord (1998 2002) is popular in the right-hand drive market. The ratio of price and quality is optimally 1015 thousand dollars for a spacious, well -equipped sedan The attractive, dynamic appearance of the chord is successfully combined with good driving qualities. The company was never afraid of complex technical solutions. Since the 1980s, a steering rear suspension was installed on the chord. It significantly improved handling. Honda engines are famous for: 75100 liters. With. From a liter of working volume without prejudice to the resource, very good.
The chord is comfortable not only to the driver and his neighbor. The rear passengers were also not deprived of: landing is convenient, there are plenty of legs. The finish is not very expensive, but pretty, solid materials. And, of course, there are a lot of electronic lotions in the chord.
The mirrors, electric windows, central locking, climatic installation, ABS, and traction control and airbags for a long time will not surprise anyone folding. But the TV and the navigation system in the database is rarely found in machines of this class. Alas, they do not work in Russia in the right -hand drive chords, but to find a specialist who adapts equipment for our country is quite difficult, and it is not cheap. Reliability and predictability is one of the chords of the chord. The suspension, not very powerful in appearance, withstands 100150 thousand km without repair. With timely and competent maintenance, the engine and gearbox (both the machine and mechanics) nurse more than 250 thousand km. However, the service of the model is not cheap in maintenance. Chord for good roads. A small road clearance, a rigid suspension, a low and long front bumper is clearly not for driving along country country, especially with a luggage overloaded. But on a good highway, an chord in its element. Management, smoothness, acceleration and brakes correspond to rapid appearance.
Gamma of the bodies is wide: coupe, sedan, station wagon, hatchback. They also released all -wheel drive versions. In the secondary market, front -wheel drive sedans with 1.8 and 2.0 liters are most common, more often with automatic transmission. Perhaps this is the most reasonable choice: a solid business suit for moderate money. Alas, for the garden you need other clothes.
