2008 Honda Accord Euro

2008-Honda-Accord-EuroThe new Accord Euro joins the new larger `mums and dads' Accord community, with that it still shares a reputation, priced from a awfully appealing $32,990. At 4740mm the second generation Euro is 65mm longer, 80mm wider and 5mm less than its precursor, with a 65mm wider track and 35mm longer distance. The larger footprint means that it sits additional firmly on the road however it conjointly means that a rise in weight, with the automotive gap its account in base manual kind at 1525kg - 130kg heavier than before. Despite the additional weight Honda has somehow been ready to cut back fuel consumption to 8.9 litres/100m for each manual and car (down from 9.1 and 9.2 respectively). It ought to be noted but that the automotive takes dearer 95  premium unleaded fuel.

The new Euro seems like the larger automotive that it's, not as lightweight on its feet and maybe not as nimble. Though a pair of cars share an equivalent size 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine, it generates additional power this point around and therefore the automotive feels heavier within the forepart. The steering is precise and well weighted, however lacks the motive force feedback of the previous model. That is not to be said the automotive does not handle, as a result of if something it most likely performs higher during this department.

The Euro sits flat and controlled in corners with the occasional thump from the firm however not harsh suspension. Pushed to the limit the automotive can ultimately understeer, however the vehicle stability assist (VSA) system can catch it long before things get out of hand. Our decide of the trannies is that the car, that in manual mode delivers a bigger unfold of useable torsion in gear mechanism, simply the price tag for the corner to corner stuff. Compared the manual amendment feels heavier and notchier than the previous model that was such a sweet issue. We'd say the Euro is another quality, sensible trying automotive that delivers many fun. nearly as good because it was, the previous model feels out dated.
