Disadvantages: little heavy on juice in town

Well where do i start, i have owned the honda accord se exec sports for nearly a year and what a car,i got it for buttons (less then £4000!) and yet its brilliant everyone at work cant understand how i can afford such an impressive looking car (little do they know it was cheaper then what their driving).
For some reason accords are under priced on the market-good for you.
The features of this car which was a special edition only made for a year or so from what i can tell are:
front fog lights
-Alloys
-Big big boot
-Remote central locking + boot
-Mid level tail light
-Lether seats electric controlled and heated
-Electric erm...everything..seats + seat heaters + sunroof
-All round electric windows
-Electric controlled and heated wingmirrors!
-Bose surround sound system with 4 x indoor speakers,100w amp and subwoofer as standard-must be heared to be believed.
-6cd auto boot changer
-Cruise control
-Wood trim
-Fog lights
-front passenger and side airbags "four star rated"

.....list goes on,the 2.0i 16v really kicks out some power much more then the other cars in its class (for example friends bmw 318i 116bhp- this honda 145-165bhp)
and better fuel economy.

But this power is only available at certain "revs" i find it to kick i at 4000rpm then wow does it fly...highly addictive.

It just brings a smile to your face and does wonders for convincing friends its a car to be taken seriously!

Inside the car the engin at idle is virtually silent and at crusing speed wind noise is minimal however once over 4000rpm its impossible to ignore the huge noise coming form the engine,very nice.

As for reliability,not a problem,as long as you have the full service history (or new keep it serviced) it should not break down ultimate reliabilty is in the honda name.

(=edit= every service so far to date as of 20/08/06! still no faults in services minus one bulb)

i have had four new tires about £300 a new cam belt -it probabily dident need one but as it wasent recorded as done better to pay £250 now then 000s later if it went

and its good for 90,000miles+ and new break pads this thing eats tires and breaks with so much power going through those tires im not surprised still nothing major just regular car stuff...oh yea and one break light bulb.

honda dealers were impressive after the cambelt change they cleaned the whole car top to bottom inside and out,most probabily would but i have never had that before with.. well another brand of car plus the whole thing cost £50 less the expected.

it does tend to munch the fuel (optimax or super only! at that) around town, but on the motorway i can go other end of country on a tank with some to spare trouble with a big car i suppose but worth every penny.

i have had lots experience in cars but this is the most impressive -for the money- i have ever owned/been in,i just cant understand how underated they are, get yourself a bargain these (exec sports) were up to £21000 new!!!

Summary: good reliable yet fast and well featured car
