Honda Accord EURO 2.0E

[Kawan]

I am looking at getting the Honda Accord EURO (2.0E), existing owners please help to advise on the pricing, interior/exterior components, maintenance, performance etc

 

I went to a parallel importer who quote me 92,888 (incl. six months road tax), no bodykit needed for this model, everything seems to be included (reverse sensor, dark glass, leather seat) except the sports rim ( add another $400 ). According to the sales person, everything is from Japan, except that the leather will be local.

 

With 90+ K, there seems to be many choices available for 2 litre cars. So if you could share with your justifications for choosing accord euro that would be nice.

 

Thanks!!!

You also can get the Skoda Superb 1.8T at that price I think.

[Cordia_gsr]

Perheps you might want to consider conti car like Ford. At least you get a better quality built deal.

Thank you all for the information and thoughts. Further comments are most welcomed and appreciated! I am not rich man, so got to seriously think before spending 94K, at least to ensure that i am not getting a bad deal. OMV is about 27-28K, if i remember correctly what the salesman said.

Hi Kawan,

 

I'm also an owner of a Honda Accord Euro/JDM Accord 2.0E (aka CL7).

 

After almost 18 months of ownership and 24,000km, I think the Accord is a very well-built and reliable car. Apart from the scheduled servicing, nothing has gone wrong with the Accord (touch wood). I got my car from AutoHub and at that time when I bought the car, it cost me approx. S$110K with guaranteed COE. It came with leather seats and 15" sports rims. Did not want the reverse sensors even though it was part of the package as I did not want to "spoil" the overall looks of the car.

 

Performance is good from the 2 litre i-VTEC engine which puts out 155Bhp. Fuel consumption wise, I'm getting around 11km/litre, using Shell 98 RON and running on 16" alloy wheels. That gives you approx. 550km before the empty fuel warning light comes on. The fuel tank is 65 litres if I am not wrong. Ride and handling of the car is good for this car.

 

I love the looks of the Euro/JDM Accord and that is one of the reasons why I got this car in the first place. Prior to purchasing the Accord, I was also looking at the Thai-built Accord from KM but the looks of the car didn't impress me when compared to the sleek and sporty looking Euro/JDM version. I was a bit worried initially about the warranty/servicing issue but I am happy to say that I've been very satisfied with it so far.

 

If you are seriously going to get the Euro/JDM Accord, do remember to check with the parallel importer whether HID headlights is included in the price that is quoted to you, as HID headlights for the Euro/JDM Accord for model year 2005 is not standard. Some parallel importers will offer them as part of the package while others will require you to pay approx. S$1K more for the HID headlights.

 

Not too sure what's the OMV currently for the Euro/JDM Accord but when I got my car back then, my OMV was S$32K.

 

Hope the above helps you in making the right decision.

Hi HC1883 and existing owners,

 

1. I understand that the glass is already darken when imported, how does it compare to huper optik or vkool, does it filter uv?

 

2. It comes with 15" allow wheels, do you think is a good idea to upgrade it to 16" or 17" ? How much do you think is reasonable for the upgrade?

 

3. Any advise on the leather seat, as i understand i can choose the color etc?

 

Thanks.

Wow you mean that it can hit 10 to 12 km/l . That is very good man . You on which size tyre and rim ???

[Tploh]

On the size of your wheels, 17" is garang but 16" is better FC.

 

Pick what you want.

[Heynsl]

For your info and to answer some of your questions,

 

- I had my CL9 (JDM Accord 2.4) sent to install VKOOL... as the accord came with tinted glass, therefore i can only choose the most entry plan of vkool in order to pass LTA regulation.

 

- My CL9 was fitted with 16" wheel as standard but i upgraded to size 17" wheels.

 

- As for leather seats, it is fitted locally by the PI themselves therefore u can choose your preferred color.

 

- My CL9 full tank only managed to hit average of slightly more than 400km before warning lights came on... (it really all depends on your driving style)

 

Correction : my CL9 had ovm value of abt 34K...
