Honda accord info

Do not ask me why I remember that the keys when testing a car. The recall is not always, but only if "tool" properly configured, and will be happy "to perform". Honda Accord from this series. Travelling as singing. Moreover, the model of music as Japanese shlifovali more than two decades, from generation to generation, so greatly reached perfection. And this year restayling held, and I have a great time over at the wheel. Only as Leisure Time, which can reflect in appearance Honda Accord more-or sporty elegance. I limit what I say : enough of both. A Type S version, schegolyayuschey sporting scales, is a lot of aggressiveness. However, the machine is not timid. Latest update low, which I think is even better. Designers simply replacing the radiator grilles, a small retouch lighting and barely visible modification bumpers. The Accord is not lost yet sufficiently pronounced sports style, but look a little more representative way. By the way, won on the test car quite remarkable. Installed on its aerodynamic scales exactly copied Type S version, with the exception of spoiler on the top floor of the factory, it is a copy. Nevertheless, the dynamic charge "that bring in the face of car tuning elements fits perfectly into the style model. Inside more comfort than aggression. And this is for the better, because in urban jams too, obsession sport can only irritate - prohvatit-to really nowhere. Driving seat great shape and width of the back. The full set of electric adjustments for the user to customize his position at the wheel as easily as a single finger "plant" at the piano. A little frustrating not only to change the degree of lumbar buttress, but the back of the already satisfactory. Cake regulated in both altitude and departure, and the location of pedals hub and the ability to change the slope of pillows to get the maximum comfort. Useful and a central armrest, which is a niche for small spaces. But the central tunnel between the driver and passenger with two podstakannikami and lever AKPP shows : comfort machines was clearly not at the end of the line in interior design. At the same time, small in diameter cake, and the blue and say, quite an original panel backlight devices hinted at a car - as its sporty. The panel clearly dominates the speedometer, the left of which is located just on smaller tachometer, marked up to 8500 rpm. Small screen gives the necessary information in transit, on average fuel consumption, the number of kilometres to the next refuelling, etc. A small temperature indexes power plant and fuel supply, despite the size, very visible. He called attention to the central console, which is virtually a replica of his style exteriors-music center of the board, and round-switches, as in the rear lamps. Looks good, and important, and the audio sounds nedurno. And you can manage it in the same buttons to Shukri, a built CD-cheyndzher eliminates the need for frequently changing discs. Overall, no complaints in ergonomics. All governments lie within the direct reach and make clear icons. Before running qualities, saying that in the rear seat Accord quite spacious, although this model is losing some of its competitors. The truth of motor vehicles that Honda valued in the first place? The tech engines. Under the hood Accord set 4-tsilindrovy 2,4-litrovy petrol power unit, which develops 190 hp. and the fun is occurring almost to 7000 rpm. Of course, better test car was equipped with a mechanical gearbox, but "automatic", as it turned out, did not hide the engine capacity. The first break was as a case in point. Sharp pushing the accelerator immediately led to a slippage front driving wheels, which did not immediately "udushena" electronic stabilization system, which includes, among other things, and antiprobuksovochnuyu system. The car off a place, if only so and waited, and has demonstrated the capacity to accelerate to the maximum limit. Initially, I feared that such vysokooborotisty engine is flexible, and to get a maximum return has to prishporivat, keeping a high speed. But this is only partly true. Indeed, the sense that everything that can motor, better that needle tachometer not fallen below 4000 rpm. At high speeds, not only heard nice, brand audio engine, but its maximum capacity is reached. On the other hand, and due to changes in gas phase, which was once a Honda, and "at the grassroots" power set a otzyvchiv. It is very strong start from the floor and pleasant, growing faster. Of equal importance is, of course, manual and automatic. She was surprised at the lot, despite the lack of sports performance. However, it does not need it. A couple of times require strong acceleration of chest customized nature of the driver and significantly increases the number of revolutions, which will change gears. You can switch manually, which in AKPP a manual mode. In full accordance with the dynamics of the model are the brake and suspension. For example, power machine building confidence at any speed, and calibrate the pedal force is not difficult. This is particularly gratifying because in the previous test models a few years ago, I was reminded of that upset unclear algorithm of the brake-pedal found jobs, often had dotormazhivat, increasing press at the end of the slowdown. There incomprehensible uncertainty, which no piece of motor vehicles and dynamic potential. Now engineers have this mistaken properties removed, and the braking no problem. Moreover, ABS can block the wheels slightly, reflecting its sports settings. Chassis also been a positive one. In turns banks of the body is not great, and variations on humps effectively blanked springs and shock absorbers, not much dokuchaya passengers. It is good easy travel, which can boast not all, indeed, a few front cars. "Transparent" steering allows accurate monitoring body and quickly adjusted to instability. With the passage turns pleased predictability car. IOC front settings will surely feel at the wheel not only a professional but also a fan. It is only to be cautious of abandoning gas-feed machines could easily go into wheel. However, the wheel is fairly smoothly, it is easy to get started. In addition to safeguard electronic stabilization system, which is not a matter of issues. For insurance-injury ... So, after three days of driving new Honda Accord can safely conclude is a tool that is excellent. It is easy to commit "to" various parties. Quick and quiet. And because the price of $ 34,300, they ask for 2,4-litrovy Accord, is not excessive. On the other hand, a huge obstacle to good sales were queues in shops and tremendous popular models of thieves. The first look-like "live" Parking is available, and the second fight began in earnest. Here is an obvious example. My good friend in the spring, a new Accord. And what was his surprise when several major insurance companies flatly refused to insure. More precisely, they concede, but for 20-25% of the cost is just phenomenal rate! However, the option has always been a satellite security system that immediately reduced the value of the policy to 5-8% of the cost. But not all are ready to pay thousands to the price of satellite signals, and because Honda dealers now offer all its customers free Accord. And it is already agree, a different matter.
