KM Honda Accord Feedback, please come in - Thank you

Post by Kelpie » Fri Feb 06, 2009 11:59 pm

Hi,

Wanted to get feedback from current owner of the latest generation of KM Honda Accord, particularly the 2.4L.
What do you think of the followings:

a) interior refinement, including equipment level and features,
b) road noise level with stock 17" wheels, any vibration at idle?
c) power delivery, especially from 100Km/h to 140Km/h.
d) Driving dynamism, including handling and suspension
e) availability of accessories, including aftermarkets ARB, struct bars and etc.
f) Fuel consumption
g) The look

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Interior is nice, everything is quite nice. would be better if the original player comes with dvd player, reverse camera and touch screen.

b) road noise level with stock 17" wheels, any vibration at idle?

Abit noisy, no vibration for mine

c) power delivery, especially from 100Km/h to 140Km/h.

only not so good for moving off, after 100, its quite reponsive

d) Driving dynamism, including handling and suspension

Handling is good.

e) availability of accessories, including aftermarkets ARB, struct bars and etc.

already have strut bar built in, the rest i not very sure.

f) Fuel consumption

FC is quite ok for 2.4l 10 - 12

g) The looks

look is better than a lots of same level jap car except i think that teana rear light looks nicer because of the led type.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for the input.

Currently, looking at changing car from FD2 to KM Accord 2.4L. Is KM Accord known as CP here?

By the way find the extra muffler hole on the left quite unsightly. What do the Accord owners here do to it? Do you guys get an aftermarket exhaust that come with 2 tips or weld a fake one or simply change to a new bumper?

Bro,

U can cover the ugly muffler hole. 2 of us here still keep our bodykit muffler hole cover. If u dont want to add bodykit, can pm us. If u add bodykit, it comes with the cover.

May be sell u cheap cheap...or u just buy me a meal will do. (haha)

Its ok to meet up with us to find out for yrself all abt the CP before u go in and order...now price is really low! :(

Cheers!
