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.

Honda accord 2007 test drive

Remember the film Men in Black? Tommy Lee Jones and Smith will teamedup become a formidable force in the intergalactic justice. Of course, the world is the universe so requires a car to meet the challenge, and it, frankly, kicked some serious butt. Although interest, and other law enforcement types Ford LTD, appearances deceive thoroughly. Never mind that the entire spectrum of the car never heard weapons or that it was capable of flight; He has some serious speed. The only key to intractable performance could sound the turbine when the car was stopped. Know their components such vehicles Q vessels surprisingly fast cars, fly below the public radar. The best that the car looks so look on the other guy to face, as you put it stoplight success, or when the road gets 1980s. 2007 Honda agreement Sedan EX-L V-6 6MT we recently tested, fall into this category. Although it was painted a vivid shade of metallic blue and former TL Type S wheels my modest sedan is a lot of daily traffic. If we decided we would ask the government to find flowers Question, white or something that particularly noticeable shade of dark sand. Accompanied with a mild alloy wheels, the vehicle will necessarily blend invisibly with the car tapestry on our roads. One of the features that made our agreement different from any other V6 sedan is that it is equipped with Honda familiar six-speed manual transmission. Of course, friends, we mean unresolved. Anyone who has ever stirred wheels Hondagearbox knows exactly what we are talking about. Perhaps it was a gift to the buyers agreement, as this generation will be driving at sunset in the near future. If you want to change your broadcasts an average grade, your choice is limited. The only reasonably priced, reasonably powerful, manually equipped four-door sedans of the Nissan Altima and Mazda6, both V6s and Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Limited and AWD stick. There always Mazdaspeed6 and Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B, while they turbocharged four-cylinder engines and almost invisible to download. We sincerely hope buyers will take note of the model and buy every last one to send a message to Honda that the next generation must have the consent of the window too. As to rates, probably not much more than a half interest, it would be a pity to lose such a combination. Her car so that a good car enthusiasts will and the spirit to the family, but would remain in the fingers all alone. Given all these sporting ambitions in mind, it is easy to forget that we are discussing mid-sized family sedan. Lee agreed to meet its classification? You bet. Stepping inside, and I took lounge, it seemed that it is for me. All fall into the hands intuitively; We will not be surprised if the majority of drivers did not consult the owners manual controls are so easy to manage. The instrument panel is lit with a sharp mind, and tools, as easy to read bright sunshine, as they night. Our own editor noted that the three-tier center stack looks like Mach 3 razor. After we stopped laughing, we realized that he could at something. What is the carbon fiber trim, that the doctrine of our internal testing, "mach", which is further exacerbated. Prizes sound system, certainly lived up to its name, providing safe and reliable sound even lift a family sedan volumes. We love of the agreement is that it will indeed to absorb large amounts of asphalt. While some of our members felt that the booster seats were a little flat, and too hard, they never leave anyone feeling of fatigue after long periods behind the wheel. The same could be said for the rear passengers, which are considered generous space itself. All this happiness with a skin from the noise is a distant hush. Drive, disappears into the background and the consequences can be heard and not opinion. This is one calm, which readily swallow weekend is the family detritus, and obedience means one less thing to worry about where to begin. Reliable and secure it is, but the agreement is proud to be his "H" badge on the grille and trunk lid, character who for decades racing for the glory of it. If you are interested in whether this modest agreement sedan hasany this lineage to it, sure it does. Start with the stability and disarmament timetables mechanical sense park at the first transfer, Then raised revs and release the clutch. The front tire may slip slightly from the rush of power, but when you die off, and surprisingly, without a dramatic point lead, we learn from TL. Engine, which was pussycat when cruising is the snarl, as a tiger. You start to think that perhaps Honda is shoddy production, movement and speed to expect, but, so look under the hood shows the 3.0-litre V6 SOHC making 244 horsepower and 211 pound-feet of torque. He merits, so lively and so zingy, all with one camshaft. Like all of its stable mates, the agreement can be emulated fuel mileage when you come to review protector. And, as just mentioned when leadership is beautiful skirts, though at lower transmission power steering gives some behavior patterns. Break-typical Honda, which means that the agreement with turnover, pointing to his average of the same double elastic tape drive can be difficult, and he will not back down. We wish the tires were slightly better than the slippery Michelin HX MXM4 all season (read : waste), have given long before the shell and spirited driving. In addition to the original rubber, we have an agreement with us, but they are few and minor. There, some of the features available on competitive models that can not be an agreement, which are more common experience. For example, Why are not automatic headlamps or HIDs available? What about MP3 CD player? Or how about that supplies standard sizes and the Civic? And our tester tranny if someone replaced transmissionfluid with 90 weight gear oil. Of course, it went through its gates, Honda as many boxes done it very well, only this one to avoid being hustled. This, coupled with dogged refusal to smooth the heels of the feet and downshifts. The focus, when the time shifts, and do not rush it; You get everything right. Frankly, the position of enthusiasts, You do not even miss those toys, and you begin to hear, as velvety V6, as it switched to its aggressive fists weighted profile, "click-click" between gearshifts and may sometimes inflated ego makes noise, when it breaks down in the ground after just raised for a family of four in a simple agreement. After our time with a modest four-door had expired, some long faces among our staff. Agreement combination of flexibility, comfort and furtively hit in our hearts, some of us wondered aloud, why Honda keeps it a secret treasure. If they were not on his press fleet, we never knew about it. Here is our way of extending agreements Sedan EX-L V-6 6MT, a certified Q vessel.
