Honda Accord - 2008 - 2011

It m ight be a bit out of your way, but you should give Honda Midrand a go. They have, in my opinion, the best service out there. I always take my car there for services etc. Even though it is a bit out of my way :)
 
I bought a Honda Accord 2.4L 2006 model back in 2008 and I have no complaints thus far. I love the way it drives and the fuel consumption is great (6.9L/100km on the Highway & 10L/100km on the city/town roads). My next car after this one will be an Accord again.

Just went down to Honda and test drove a 09 2.0l Auto. Awesome car. Reasonably powerful. Nice and big.

Not a bad price but think I can do better. Was pretty amazed that the salesman told me he couldn't give me a cent off the advertised price. :wtf:

Edit: O and add another R4000 for on the road fees.

I bought my last car telling them that the "on the road" & admin fees will be absorbed by the purchase price of the car, since it's what they earn commission for - seeing as I didn't need any of their "sales advice" when picking my car and pretty much phoned them every couple of days to check on stock.

They obliged.
 
Shop around when looking to buy and to be honest I have found the dealers further out more willing to make a deal. Bought my Accord from Honda Menlyn and my S2000 from Honda Zambezi. In both instances I negotiated price and made them include all on road fees into the deal.

Its not to far out my way, I don't mind driving out there if it means decent service. I can't say that Sandton really blew me away.

Nice, I think I would enjoy the 2.4 more, the 2.0l is well, a big sluggish.

Thats what I plan on doing. Not going to take the first thing I see. I am certain I can get a better deal.
 
A guy at our office had a look at 2009 Accord 2.0 with 30000km on the clock. He was very impressed until he phoned around for insurance quotes and the Accord was the most expensive to insure out of the cars he was looking at( one being a same year Audi A6 3.0 )!

Serious? :eek:

That is crazy. I think I have decided that I will be going for a 320d. Definitely the most impressive car I have found to date. Now to find a good deal is another story :p
 
I often get given Honda Accords as rental cars. I'm always very impressed with them. Will definitely be on my list when I next shop. I used to get given the automatic Jazz and occasionally the Civic and was impressed with them too. Really good cars.

If they are used in rental fleets there should be enough of them in the market for parts not to be an issue.
 
Have you given the is250 any thought? Top of JD Power ratings and not much more than an Accord if you are shopping 2nd hand.

I have seen them around yeah, very nice looking car.

I will have to see if it fits into my budget.
 
Hey Grimspoon

Did you eventually get something?? I have just ordered the 2011 Accord with a few extras i.e. tow bar etc. Will collect Thursday or Friday.

Hey. Yip I got a 07 Audi A4 2.0T. Only 50 000 on the clock. Mint condition with all the extras. Loving it.

What totally put me off the Accord was the lack of power. It really doesn't have any "Vooom" unless you ring its neck. I think the body is to heavy for the engine, at least on the new model.
