Honda Accord 2005 Sedan

Pros: If there is no rust and it car is beeing followed up, the car doesn't actually rust, 3 years in a row technicak inspection passed without any remarks. Here and there of course rust bubbles appear now, after our frost winters and age of 13 years.
Low fuel consumption when driving alone with a full tank on a highway cruise 95km / h and 5 speed fuel consumption 4.5l / 100km, full car then 5.5l / 100km highway. The average city + highway cycle 6l / 100km is therefore such an average consumption, but mostly it is a little below 6L or as the manufacturer has indicated - 5.8l / 100km.
Quite a spacious car, for two + 8-year-old child calmly lowers the benches, throws a mattress and can comfortably spend the night in the trunk on any summer trip.
High-quality premum audio system with active subwoofer, does not even demand better for everyday use. Rolling keeps Latvian roads very well, in 4 years I have replaced only 2 bushings and 2 stabilizers in rolling stock.
The seat is comfortable, half-leather, I drove from Riga to the LT / PL border without stopping and did not even want to get off. I am 178cm tall, only if you are taller then I could start to be narrow because for me the distance of the seat is standing at the end position. I would say that if it was about 5cm longer, then there could be problems with comfort.
Good and sharp steering.
If you find it rusty then I recommend this model, because it is suitable for both more aggressive driving and family trips.

Cons: I have one of the last 7th generation that rolled off the assembly line in Japan (facelift model), but not aux / usb in the original equipment, although the navigation radio has such an output, honda does not offer to buy separately (I requested dealer). I had ordered some Chinese miracle from ebay but sounded miserable, now there is a good BT modulator and I make a living with it.
It could be a bit more powerful, because if there is a full car, then you have to overtake. The turbine satarts to work only from 1800 RPM until then there is no overtaking capacity, so if on a cruise for example on 1200RPM and press accelerator ... it takes some time, but when the turbine turns on then the car goes to the end of the clock. But either the lack of power can't scream terribly and is satisfying on daily trips. Of course there is no ´dragreisist´ with 140hp, but if you are alone, then it also allows you to provoke more aggressively ...
I really don't like ´facelift´ Japanese invention that the DVD card reader is in front of you in the console (before the facelift there were normal shelves.) The DVD card disc puts in well if 1x in life .... I understand if you could watch DVD movies on the navigation screen ... but no! read only the map. It would have been better to have left the shelf and put the reader somewhere in a trivial place.
The sound insulation is not good, when entering the highway during the rain, it seems that the sound passes through the whole can.
The ground clearance could have been at least a couple of cm higher because it is quite low and every now and then when entering the forest I had to look for an alternative path.
As already mentioned, quite thin layer of lacquer and easily scratches, but the body is galvanized and one deeper scratch that has passed under the paint layer, even after 3 LV winters has not turned into a rust stain. That's why everyone who sees honda has rust - guess ... That's not all! There are no more 90s products when honda did not galvanized the body ....
