Decent to drive and loaded with kit too our long-termer appears to have it all.
Lastweek I had noticed the fuel efficiency of the Accord drop from 10.3 litres per 100km to 14.8 — and it has fallen further since but I’m not surprised what with the Sports mode deployed full time now. I hope it doesn’t get any worse than this — but by continuing to drive with my teeth firmly clenched (which brings the best out of the car’s chassis; it uses a combination of front MacPherson struts and rear multi-link with rigid subframes) it just might. That’s not good news for my wallet — but what is good is all the tech and safety kit our long-termer is brimming with.
