Another Review--This One From New Zealand

Not all, but much of the review would pertain to the TSX. Overall it's favorable. Remember, that the 1 New Zealand Dollar = 0.58805 US Dollar. So, NZ$35,000 is roughly US$20,582.

It's curious that the automatic tranny is NZ$1000 more than the 6MT. Are we Yanks paying too much for the 6MT here, given the same price as the automatic??

Some terms I found funny are:

"haggling britches"

"He'll have paid full whack..."

"screw a dealer down"

Article is at:

Honda Euro Accord - No brainer!

Oh yes, the TSX does have that magnesium case 6MT, doesn't it. I didn't know if the other overseas Accord variants also had the magnesium case 6MT.

Here's an interesting review of the V6 Accord with references to the Euro Accord.

Honda: Accord's six appeal

One reference I found funny: "Simply, the V6 is handsome, but looks like the Euro Accord's twin brother - the one with severe fluid retention."

Severe fluid retention!

Overall, they liked the Accord, which is understandable.
