Friend of mine has the 2.2 Diesel Accord. Took it for a spin today. He has half leather interior etc.

Just got it remapped. They are 140bhp standard and the remap is supposed to be to 175bhp, but it doesnt feel like it whatsoever, so its going up on the Rolling Road to see what shes giving.

Its a very smooth diesel. they have a preburn in the injector cycle so that diesel knock is reduced. Seemed quick enough. The map, aswell as the original map doesnt seem to have any torque spikes and is quite linear, so it doesnt seem that fast...until you see the speed gaining.

Anyone else driven one?

Not driven the new shape ones but drove a 07 civic diesel and it was smoooothh :D

Honda Accords are awesome carsss though and it has nothing to do with the fact that i also own a 2.2 Accord Type R :P

 my megane was like that no boost spike so felt slow but when you looked down it was shifting!! more for the older generation i think thats why its my x-car lol

 I know i prefer to get a good slap up the *** of torque. Alot more fun to drive.

 especially in the rain with tc off!! could never go back to petrol unless it was something BIG or turbo'd running big boost!!

 Yeah i know...never back to a NA petrol!! unless its a R32!

 must admit i like the look of the new hard top convertable Z4 but will be a few years yet as im not old enough to insure one at a reasonable price!!
