HONDA ACCORD (2002 – TO DATE)本田雅阁(2002欧元Â"至今)

Sitting here racking my brain, it?s difficult to come up with one car that?s metamorphosed so radically over its lifespan than the Honda Accord.我坐在这里伤透脑?收盘很难拿出一车?收盘变质等其寿命大大超过比本田雅阁. Originally an unprepossessing little hatch, it?s now a car that wants to be taken seriously against some heavyweight competitors.本来其貌不扬的小舱口,它?现在的汽车,要重视对某些重量级选手. The sixth generation Accord is a car that feels massively more substantial than any previous iteration and represents the finest Japanese family saloon we?ve yet seen.第六代协议是一个更大规模的汽车,感觉比以往任何迭代和大量的优秀代表,我们日本人家庭房?味未见. Used examples are starting to appear in meaningful numbers but bargains are rare.用实例开始出现号码,但有意思的讨价还价十分罕见. The market has twigged how good the Accord is and demand is high.市场twigged协议是如何好、需求量高.

HISTORY历史
The sixth generation Accord saw Honda massively up their game.本田第六代协议见到大量放弃游戏. Prior to its introduction in 2002, the Accord had long been regarded as a well engineered car that drove well but never boasted the interior fit and finish of the class best.在2002年以前引进、该协议一直视为好车,驱车策划好但从未夸口内政部适合下班的最好课堂. The sixth generation car changed all that with sleek styling and a cabin that felt extremely solid.第六代轿车改变了一切,随着优美造型和机舱,感到非常牢固. Suddenly that reedy, rather two-dimensional feel of previous Accord models had been consigned to history.突然,茅草屋,而二维模式已经感到以前协议委托给历史. Honda had built a heavyweight contender.本田已建成一个重量级竞争者.

Honda claimed the Accord was tilting at cars like Volvo?s S60 and the Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon, but this impression was largely caused by a rather limited choice of engines, which initially comprised just 2.0-litre and 2.4-litre petrol powerplants.本田称这项协议是在倾象沃尔沃轿车?S60和9月3日收盘的绅宝运动球馆、但这种印象相当有限,主要是因选择引擎这只是初期由2.0公升和2.4公升汽油的发电厂. One body style was offered, a handsome saloon, with the Accord Tourer following shortly thereafter.一个班子的作风提供了丰厚的球馆,不久之后tourer协议. The big revelation came with the introduction of the 2.2 CTD-i diesel powerplant which suddenly broadened the Accord?s appeal enormously.来到大启示与引进2.2电导-柴油动力我突然开阔协议?收盘极大吸引力.

WHAT YOU GET  什么才叫
Honda would have us believe this MK6 Accord is fit competition for Volvo, Saab and Audi - and there may be more to this claim than meets the eye.本田公司希望我们相信这项协议是适宜比赛mk6沃尔沃、绅宝、奥迪、可能有更多这种说法般理想. The old MK5 Accord suffered in a number of key ways.旧mk5协议遭到了一些关键途径. Firstly, Honda totally misread the rise in popularity of diesel engines, believing that their VTEC engines would be more than adequate compensation.首先,本田完全误读民望上升柴油机、他们相信他们将发动机电子总量超过充分赔偿. They were wrong.他们错了. With no diesel Accord available, they missed out on a huge slug of sales.无可用柴油协议,他们错过了一个庞大的销售状. Which is why diesel power has proved to be a key part of the Mk6 model range.这就是为什么柴油电力已被证明是一个关键部分的mk6示范射程. There?s no hatch option in the post-?02 line-up for, as Saab realised when it replaced the 9-3 range, hatchbacks don?t really hit the spot if you?re aiming for a prestigious image.?无舱口选择在收盘后?1902年列队进行,它取代了九月三日绅宝变现时程、厢型车鲍思?如果你真的击中当场笔?重新瞄准了著名形象. Honda therefore ditched the hatch option and instead, for Mk6 models, relied on a classy-looking Tourer estate.本田因此而选择丢弃的舱口,mk6模式,依靠一流的前瞻性tourer遗产.

The mainstream Accord Mk6 range is based around three engines - a 154bhp 2.0-litre, a 188bhp 2.4-litre and a 138bhp CTDi diesel - leaving a gap at the bottom of the range that once would have been occupied by a 1.8-litre model.主流协议mk6范围是以三个引擎-154bhp2.0公升、一188bhp2.4公升及138bhp假柴油留下的空隙,一旦底部幅度已占用180公升模式. Without an entry-level engine, Honda hoped to create the impression that the Accord had bounded upmarket ?而未入门级发动机,本田希望给人的印象就是位于高档协定? but few buyers were fooled.但很少有买家上当. Its real market niche was as an alternative to flagship versions of volume medium range cars like Ford?s Mondeo or Vauxhall?s Vectra.其实质是一种选择市场利基旗舰版体积中程像福特汽车?收盘蒙迪欧或制服?收盘vectra.

Not that this Accord isn?t a very fine car, offering sharky styling, a well-designed interior and a group of engines that could only have come from Honda ?这一协议不渡?车笔很优秀,提供sharky造型、精心设计的室内和一群引擎,只能来自本田? praise indeed.好评. Various models are available, starting with the 2.0 SE, with Sport and Executive trims also offered with the smaller engine.各种型号可从2.0的硒,还提供体育和执行协定的小引擎. The CTDi diesel starts in Sport trim as well as range-topping Executive.开始的假柴油以及各种减肥运动-顶长官. Plump for the 2.4-litre car and there?s the choice of the Type-S or Executive.肥美为2.4公升车?收盘选择类型收盘或长官.

The styling has divided opinion.造型的分歧意见. The nose is remarkably similar to that of the Mazda6, with a similar shaped grille and lights but the Accord looks that little bit more upmarket with its Mercedes-style indicators in the door mirrors.鼻子是非常的相似,MAZDA6的,与同类形门锁、灯光点点,但协议看起来更高档的奔驰型指标门镜. Rather than stretch the wheelbase for a ?wheel at each corner?而非舒展的轴距为?车轮每一个角落? effect to improve packaging, Honda have bucked a current styling trend by introducing more frontal overhang, the additional 65mm said to improve safety for both occupants and pedestrians.提高包装效果,本田目前有逆潮流造型采用更正面悬置、新增65mm双方表示改善住户和行人安全. The rear end is a little more controversial, with a sawn off rump and large rear wings that contrive to make the respectably sized wheels look a little puny.最后一点是后方争议以大型锯过臀后方策划的翅膀,使大中轮子看来有点小小回复.

All Accord models are very well equipped.所有型号都非常精良协议. Even the SE is fitted with alloy wheels, dual zone climate control, a 6-speaker CD-based stereo and front, side and curtain airbags.即使是硒合金装有轮子,双区气候控制,6议长影音为本、立体声阵线方和窗帘气袋. Nice touches like the outside temperature indicator and the 3D dashboard illumination are also welcome, as are sensible ergonomics.尼斯触及像外界温度指标以及3D仪表照明也欢迎,是明智的工效. The grouping of the stereo and air conditioning controls is exemplary and the multiple storage bins are similarly easy to access.立体组合和空调控制是示范、贮存桶同样多易通道.

The Sport model adds a rear spoiler, front fog lights, mesh grille, sports upholstery, cruise control and a 3-spoke leather steering wheel.模型运动增添了后方破坏者、前雾灯、网状格栅、体育座垫、巡航控制和三讲皮革方向盘. 16-inch alloy wheels and tighter gear ratios also underline its sporting credentials.16英寸合金车轮和齿轮比率还强调了加强体育国书. If we?re feeling charitable, we could say the Type-S is perhaps the closest approximation to the old MK5 Accord Type-R.如果我们?重感情慈善,我们可以说型或许最接近收盘逼近旧mk5协议型住宅. This gets a drive by wire throttle linked to a stability control system, six gears and a more aggressive spoiler kit.这一活动得到了油门挂了电控系统的稳定,六、更加咄咄逼人破坏者齿轮箱. The plush Executive models feature a 6 CD changer, gas discharge headlights, leather trim, heated front seats and 8-way power adjustment for the driver?s chair.行政专题型号的长毛绒影音兑换6、气体放电头灯、皮革修剪、加热前座和8路功率调整司机?收盘主持. Go for the 2.4-litre version and Honda include the stability control system and DVD touch screen satellite navigation.走2.4公升版和本田包括稳定控制系统和触摸屏的DVD卫星导航.

Go for the Tourer estate version and you?ll find that the wheelbase has been increased by only 50mm over that of its saloon stablemate and the increase in overall body length is only an extra 85mm.tourer走的地产版,你呢?当地已发现只增加50mm的轴距,超过其总体增长及球馆stablemate体长只有额外毫米. No use expecting a van-like loading bay then.没有用面包车预期般涌落. Still, a load volume of 576 litres with all the seats in place is no mean achievement for this class of car: that?s over 100 litres more than the more ordinary Renault Laguna Sport Tourer can manage for example.还有,负荷量576公升,与所有的座位到位不算这个班车:为何?收盘100多公升,比普通雷诺丽体育tourer能举例. This has been achieved through changing the design of the 5-link rear suspension so that both dampers and springs are positioned separately: as a result, the width between the wheel housings is dramatically increased.取得这样的成绩,通过改变设计的五连后方悬浮和阻尼器,使两者分开弹簧位置:由于车轮之间的宽度是罩急剧增加. The total volume of 921 litres with the rear seats folded is rather less impressive, but compensation does come in the form of a clever ?One Motion?利润总额921公升,与后座折叠比较逊色,但是否补偿的形式来巧?一个议案? system for easy access of what space there is.为方便制度有什么空间.

The Tourer estate versions are still a little thin on the ground.tourer地产的版本仍有点薄在地上. Insurance for the Accord is fairly reasonable with ratings ranging from Group 11 to Group 14.保险是比较合理的协议与评级不等组11组14.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR  寻找什么
Look for a bargain, look for accident damage, but don?t expect to find too many Accords with inherent faults.找便宜,寻找意外损坏,但鲍思?笔指望找到太多符合固有缺陷. These are well engineered cars with an impeccable reliability record.这些都是绝佳的可靠性和工程车的纪录.

REPLACEMENT PARTS  替换零件
(approx. based on a 2003 Accord 2.0 SE - ex VAT) You?ll need around £220 for a clutch assembly and an exhaust system about £450.(约2.0基于2003年协议硒恩增值税)你?当地大约需要220英镑一排气系统离合器组装450英镑左右. Allow a budget of around £48 respectively for front brake pads and £40 for the rear.让英镑左右的预算为48宗40英镑和刹车皮阵线后方. A front headlamp should be around £195.前照灯应阵地195英镑左右.

ON THE ROAD  在路上
Both petrol engines are sprightly performers with competitive CO2 emissions and decent economy.汽油引擎与演员演技二氧化碳排放和体面的经济竞争力. The 2.0-litre SE averages 38.2mpg whilst even the 188bhp 2.4-litre Executive model can manage 31mpg.<2.0公升188bhp硒平均38.2mpg虽然连2.4公升行政31mpg模型可以管理. Certain Honda trademarks continue ?本田商标一定会继续下去? the gearchange is excellent but the electrically assisted steering takes a little getting used to.gearchange很好的电动助力转向,但以少许透露出. The real star of the show, however, is the diesel powerplant.真正的明星表演,不过,柴油动力.

The engine that powers the Accord 2.2 i-CTDi - to use the full nomenclature ?到2月2日引擎权力协议-人形-使用充分命名? delivers both more torque and better fuel economy than both the Audi A4 TDi130 and BMW?s 320td.双方发表更多更好的燃油经济性和扭矩比奥迪A4规定双方tdi130、宝马?320td收盘. Honda?s choice of these two cars as a yardstick is illuminating, showing the extent of their ambition.本田?这两种车的选择标准是一个启发,展示了他们的野心. No longer do they regard the Accord as Vectra/Mondeo/Laguna fodder, instead pitching it as a superior quality proposition.他们不再把协议内容vectra/蒙迪欧/丽饲料,而是作为俯仰优质命题. Available in both saloon and Tourer body styles, the 2.2 diesel cranks out a hefty 138bhp at 4,0000rpm and is one of the more refined powerplants of its type.球馆、体兼备tourer字体220柴油机曲柄出在138bhp大幅4,0000RPM和一个同类型的发电厂更精益求精. More soundproofing and thicker window glass help to isolate the diesel grumble and it?s genuinely tricky to aurally differentiate it from a petrol engine at normal cruising speeds.更多隔音窗、玻璃较厚帮助孤立和柴油噜?收盘aurally区分真正地从一个刁钻的汽油发动机在正常巡航速度.

You?ll know it?s a diesel when you put your foot down.你?当地知道吗?柴油收盘下跌当你把你的脚下. The 340Nm of torque mean that it?s the most torquey Honda engine currently available, putting even the NSX sportster in the shade.扭矩仍为340nm的意味?收盘torquey本田发动机最现存即使把nsxsportster在绿荫. Mid range acceleration is very crisp and typical motorway speeds see the engine revolving at a very restrained gait.加速度中旬射程很脆典型高速公路看到引擎转速旋转时步态十分克制. The sprint to 60mph will detain you for just 9.2 seconds in the saloon or 9.9 seconds if you?re hauling the additional bulk of the Tourer.斯普林特将扣留至60mph你刚刚在球馆或九月九日九月二日秒秒你?再度拉大部份新增的tourer. Emissions are another area where the Honda excels, already complying with the tough Euro IV regulations that will slice another three per cent from company user?s tax demands.废气中的另一个领域傲视本田、已经遵照欧盟IV硬片会规章另有百分之三来自公司用户?收盘税的要求. The figures of 143 and 153g/km for the saloon and Tourer respectively are excellent given that the Accord is such a substantial feeling vehicle.数字为143和153g/km球馆和tourer分别给予优秀既然是这样大幅度感觉车.

OVERALL  总体
Honda have finally hit the big league with the sixth generation Accord.本田终于撞上大联赛的第六代协议. It?s a car which can trade punches with the best cars in its class.?收盘汽车贸易拳能有最好的车阶级. If you can live with the unorthodox styling, a well looked after Accord will prove a rewarding experience.如果你能忍受的非正统造型,十分辛苦协定将证明满载而归.
