2012 Honda

We’re massive fans of Honda here at Torque GT, a brand we've dealt with daily for over 20 years. They're phenomenally well engineered, have brilliant residuals, and are as reliable as it gets.

This late-model 8th gen CW2 Accord is no different. There are some fantastic sports tourers out there, the Legacy GT-B being one of our favourites but here’s another major contender.

If you want a great-looking, high-spec, super practical estate with rock-solid reliability and excellent residuals, meet the CW2 Accord Type S. Drive it for 10 minutes and you'll see why we’re so impressed. Produced in Japan for the domestic market and also aimed at the US, these are very rare in the UK.

This freshly imported 2012 Type S, presented in Premium White Pearl (NH624P), is a Grade 4 factory-original example with no modifications.

The 5-speed auto with super responsive manual paddle-shift mode is a joy to use. Mated to a 2.4 K24 engine, the big brother to the legendary K20, it's ultra-smooth and refined.

In brilliant condition throughout, this represents fantastic value for money. Anyone looking for a modern, high-spec performance estate with real-world exclusivity should look no further.
