Hi

Quick question, has someone driven a 2.2 diesel Accord with the auto?
How does the combination it feel like?


Thank you for your input

Cheers

I used to have one as a company car it was quit quick it felt very torquy the only con is you know it's a diesel when you start it up (Tractor)

Someone put some comments on the diesel auto on the HJ site the other day:

I have a Audi 2.5 Tdi so I'm ok with the tractor noise if it cannot be heard from insde.

It seems it is a car I should book a test drive in

Cheers

I looked at the last Accord diesel and tried one for a few days but I really wanted an auto so got a nearly new Merc C270CDi auto instead.

One comment that comes up a lot with Accord diesel is the real-world fuel consumption varies a lot from car to car - some people get really good MPG from their's and other get terrible MPG. If you do a lot of miles that could be quite an issue.

Is there an English version of your post available so that I might have a clue what your point is?

If you represent a typical Honda Swindon employee then I'm glad we got one of last Jazz to be built in Japan before the transition.

Are Honda diesels bulletproof? Seen a fair number of reports of engines that have thrown rods at 4-5yrs old.

How much is high pressure pump from Honda? £585 for the Merc one sounds cheap to me, but, although I'm on both the main MB UK forums, I can't recall seeing anyone saying they'd needed a new pump.
