The HONDA ACCORD (2003-08) 4DR SALOON 2.2 CTDI 140 SPORT 17INCH ALLOYS is a roomy, four-door family saloon: a comfortable alternative to a hatchback or estate, aimed at buyers wanting space and a more substantial feel. In the UK used-car market, it sits among established large family cars, competing with saloons such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat. Its 2.2-litre diesel engine and supportive cabin make the Accord well suited to motorway commuting, regular long trips and family duties. The Sport version adds a purposeful look, with 17-inch alloy wheels, while the saloon’s generous passenger space and boot help it handle everyday errands as confidently as longer journeys. mycarcheck.com records 240 look-ups across 157 different VINs, giving a sample; checked cars averaged 151,000 miles, 10,000 miles a year and 4.6 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £900, so condition and history matter greatly when comparing this well-regarded rival.
