honda accord euro review

The Honda Accord Euro is the sensible-shoes sedan that secretly raids the gym—tight chassis, tidy steering, and a 2.4-litre four that loves a rev.

Pick the slick 6‑speed manual for proper engagement; the 5‑speed auto is fine, just not thrilling. Cabin quality is classic Honda: solid, quiet, and laid out by people who actually use buttons.

On a twisty B-road it feels lighter on its feet than most mid-sizers, yet it’ll do the weekday grind without sulking. Running costs are reasonable and reliability is strong if servicing hasn’t been treated as a creative writing exercise.

When shopping, check for worn suspension bushings, tired engine mounts, and any hesitation from the auto caused by overdue fluid changes; also listen for power-steering whines or leaks on older cars. Tech feels dated by today’s standards, but the fundamentals are rock solid.

If you want understated, grown-up fun on Aussie roads without German drama prices, the Euro still makes a very persuasive case.
