Sorry, I can't love you.

Recently, the Accord is being opened, the eighth generation Accord.

The most intuitive impression of driving this car: in winter, it is really comfortable to have a seat to keep warm.

I'm sure this is definitely the best and most balanced mid-level car you can buy for less than100000. Of course, this "good" is for people my father's age.

There are two kinds of people in this world, those who like Honda and those who don't.

For those who like Honda, "Honda spirit" is the most important thing. They are obsessed with VTEC and high-speed self-priming. DC2, NSX and S2000 are their spiritual totems. Accord? In Honda's product series, the Accord is the most nonexistent model, which can't reflect the "Honda spirit". Even the 8 1 Honda bench can better represent the "Honda spirit" than the Accord.

(Honda MotoCompo, commonly known as a small bench, is a motorcycle that can be folded up and put into the trunk of Fit)

But for those who don't like Honda and don't know much about Honda, Fit, CR-V and Accord are all their views on Honda. The Accord is the biggest Honda car in the world.

In the northeast town of my hometown, people call the Accord CG5 "Little Honda" and the Accord CM5 "Big Honda". Anyway, for people who don't know cars, Honda is the Accord, and the Accord is Honda. This is enough to reflect how important the Accord is to the general public and the Honda brand.

I remember joking with my friends that Toyota is actually a "luxury brand". If you cut off the cars of Zhixuan/VIOS and Corolla/Lei Ling, you will find that Toyota has a million-class land patrol, Erffa, luxury car crown and Asian dragon; If more than 200,000 Camry cars are entry-level cars, they will not lose the face of "luxury brands" too much. Toyota has a high product line.

But Honda is different. Since Lenovo Mileage was delisted (in fact, the Acura logo was changed, but it did disappear from Honda's product sequence), the Accord has become the ceiling of Honda. If you don't look at those Acura cars, then the Accord is the best model of Honda.

(Honda's highest-end model ever sold in China? -? Legend? Mileage KA9)

In any case, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Accord represents Honda. Honda certainly knows that so far, there is nothing wrong with every generation of Accord.

(The fourth generation Accord CB, this is my first impression of Honda)

The feeling of just opening CP 1 is a bit amazing.

I have driven many good cars. When I drove this Accord, the daily scooter was already Mercedes-Benz C300. So this "amazing" feeling is definitely not because I just got off a Fukang.

My first impression of this car is spacious, and my second impression is luxury. Spacious? -? It must be much more spacious than my C300 travel; Luxurious? -? It's not that kind of extravagant luxury, nor that kind of luxury that looks high-tech and bluffing. This luxury of the Accord is simply reflected in its interior workmanship and materials, and in the friction between the butt and the seat. It is restrained and unassuming, with Japanese characteristics.

Simply put, this car belongs to the kind that looks completely different from sitting in it. It looks unremarkable outside, but when I sit in, I find a hole in the sky.

I sent a circle of friends the day before, and someone replied "Accord Shakes Out Xiang" below. I don't deny that the shake suppression of this car is really average, and the vibration can easily be transmitted to your arm through the steering column. But the shaking of this car is not only the shaking of an ordinary four-cylinder car, but also the shaking that is completely worthy of this price.

In other words, if you haven't driven four or five hundred thousand six-cylinder cars or eight-cylinder cars, you won't realize that it is shaking. Is it because this Accord interior materials makes you feel that you are driving a luxury car of 300,000 to 400,000?

This feeling is completely different from the jitter of a three-cylinder engine with discontinuous stroke.

Too much talk. In terms of driving quality, this car is definitely better than Mercedes-Benz A-Class and BMW 1.

It is a very obvious fact that this car is cost-effective.

Although it is the most expensive mid-level car in its class, it is more expensive than Magotan and Camry, but it is the most valuable. Preserving the value means that you will lose less money because of the depreciation of the car price during the whole car cycle (see the crash of Passat next door), and its circulation speed in the market can be particularly fast, definitely not the kind that can't be sold for months.

In addition to maintaining the value, it is indeed the car with the best quality and the highest configuration in the same age and level, but it is comfortable enough to use, which in turn contributes to its higher rate of maintaining the value.

Although this is only version 2.0, and it is not the highest match, the configuration of this car can still be described as rich:

-? skylight

-? Automatic headlight with flushing function

-? Constant speed controller

-? Multifunction steering wheel

-? Dual-temperature zone automatic air conditioner

-? Seats heated by electric seat belts

Even now, many configurations are not necessarily available in this class of cars.

But limited by the age, you can hardly see any high-tech driving assistance in this car. What lane keeping, pedestrian protection, automatic braking, etc. There were no cars in that era. I also have to say that in the past ten years, the whole automobile industry has really made great progress in assisting driving.

But at least, regarding the configuration of driving comfort, this car is enough. Maybe someone will find fault: "This car is too low! No seat ventilation! No seat memory! The air conditioning outlet cannot swing! "

But what are you talking about? What is the configuration that will be brought on the car?

Teana 350JM, Crown Royal? Cars, these cars are twice as expensive as in the past.

You know, the price of this Accord is just 65,438+099,800, which is exactly the same as the current Accord. Even by the standard of new car configuration in 2020, it seems not bad. And I don't know if it's my subjective feeling. Why do I feel that interior materials, a car ten years ago and twenty years ago, really seems to be better than the current car? The point is, don't take it out of context. I only said the interior. )

What's more, such an accord can only be taken home at a price of 30% to 40%.

The configuration of this car is not only completely enough for daily use, but more importantly, they are also very easy to use. First, these functions have not been damaged for ten years; Secondly, they are really convenient and easy to use, unlike some anti-human cars, because they are not easy to use.

A remarkable advantage of this car is that the adjustable range of the seat and steering wheel is very large. 10 years ago, the development of ergonomics of car seats lagged behind now, but the seat of this car supports the driver's shoulders and waist very well, so it is no problem to relax and "lie down" while driving, unlike many cars in those years, when the waist was comfortable, the shoulders drooped and the shoulders leaned against the hips. Right, Volkswagen?

Another advantage of this car is its large space.

At that time, the medium-sized car was not popular, but it was the largest medium-sized car of the year.

In 2008, when the eighth generation Accord was first listed, it was probably like this:

-? Camry six generations? 4825 mm

-? Magotan B6? 4765 mm

-? Teana J32? 4850 mm

-? Accord CP 1? 4945 mm

The largest at the same level, no doubt.

A huge car nearly 5 meters long gives the driver a very intuitive feeling:

First of all, you will feel more or less unaccustomed to driving. I usually drive my own car. Mercedes-Benz C300 is the largest car I have at present, with a length of only 46xx. You mean overbearing? Then talk about bullying! Overbearing 48xx! Accord is good at bullying, over! My favorite Lexus is 4400mm and the Fit is 3900 mm ..

If you drive, you will feel unaccustomed, especially when you go home to cross the alley at night, you will feel that the distance in front of you is not well controlled. Fortunately, there is a radar behind this car, so parking is not a problem. Moreover, its former owner also installed a front radar for it, so the distance to the right front becomes very easy to grasp.

In fact, it feels like a "big" moment, and it takes half an hour to drive.

The second intuitive feeling brought by the proud body length is that the space is really large. The trunks in the front and back are spacious. Especially the trunk, you can lie in and turn over.

Large space is definitely very important for the practicality of family cars. There is no doubt that this Accord is a means of transportation, so people who buy it should not only consider themselves, but also the children and the elderly at home. It is always right to have more space. Coupled with the characteristics of high configuration, high preservation rate, durability and no love of bad, this car is perfect as a family car.

That would be great. Why should I sell it?

I said from the bottom of my heart that when I first took this car from my friend, I planned to keep it for myself. So I didn't take a picture of this car for several weeks, and I didn't put it on the shelf. Although there are many eight-generation Accord, there are not many good colors, so I still cherish this car.

(I don't know if I'm stupid, but I recently discovered the hidden function of the Accord: the car will automatically lock when walking, and then if the car slips during driving and there are signs of losing control, the car lock will automatically unlock until it is stable again. It has been verified several times on the ice and snow road, and the logic is indeed such a logic, and it must be the side slip of the car body to trigger this function. I guess unlocking is for the truth. If something happens, it is convenient for rescue. )

As for the reason for selling it, it is definitely not because it is 2.0.

(No irony, no irony, no irony. I'm serious.)

I remember a few years ago when I was young. Young people here don't mean young and ignorant, but young and energetic young people will naturally pay special attention to the mechanical part and have a honey-like pursuit of power, mechanical beauty and VTEC.

The difference between the Accord with a displacement of 2.0 and 2.4 is not just the power stroke. Does the 2.4 Accord use Honda K series engine? -? K24A 1, and 2.0 is an expanded cylinder version of Civic engine? -? R20A 1. The biggest difference between these two machines is that one is DOHC and the other is SOHC. At the same time, the engine of DOHC has a real me-VTEC, "big TEC".

The 2.0 Accord is much simpler in terms of engines. Camshaft is an enlarged version of Civic. More than 90% of the parts on this machine are related to Civic. So, of course, I was reluctant to be young at that time. At that time, my mind was full of scenes in which Iketani Koichiro laughed at Takeuchi:

"Ha ha ha ha! ! ! SOHC！ ! ! "

But after so many years, I gradually found that the quality of the engine is not based on the power or the characteristics shown during extreme driving. Which uncle who drives the Accord will step on 6000 revolutions? So what is the difference between DOHC and SOHC for uncles?

Judging from the positioning of Accord and the actual needs of users, R20A 1 of 2.0 is definitely more than enough. Compared with the technical problems of DOHC or SOHC, is there a big TEC? Their real owners are more concerned about the durability and fuel economy of this machine.

I'm sorry, for R20A 1, I really haven't met any rivals in terms of "durability". Moreover, it does not use oil, and it is a machine that has achieved a fairly good balance between fuel consumption and power.

Accord is different from Civic after all, which is why Accord Type-R/Euro-R disappeared after a short generation of changes (H22A to K20A), while Si/Type-R Civic has continued to this day. Maybe Honda also understands that uncles who buy Accord don't need red-headed chickens.

The most fundamental starting point for considering this problem is actually the tonality of the car itself and what kind of people its user group is. Fortunately, the eighth and ninth generation Civic are R series machines (except Si). If Civic has K series machines, I definitely recommend you 100% to buy Civic with K series machines, without any discussion.

I really didn't sell melons in Wangpo for the sake of selling cars. By the time this book was published, the car was already in the hands of the new owner.

So, what is the reason why I accept it and abandon it ...

Actually, it's because this car has no personality. Objectively speaking, this car does not have any obvious shortcomings as a family car, but it also has no obvious shortcomings, that is to say, there is no long board. And I don't think there should be such a car in my garage that has no characteristics and can't represent my personality.

But on the other hand, it is precisely because it has no personality that it caters to the tastes of most people, and even once sold more than one million in China.

I will take good care of every car that falls into my hands, and I have prepared the original floor mats for almost every car.

But I'm sorry, I've never been a "majority". After buying this car, one day I was very happy to drive a new car out, and then I was surprised to find that the streets were full of the same models, and I lost interest in an instant.

I even hope that this car is imported rather than made in China, and it is best to have a very small number of cars, and it is best that others don't know much about it. In short, driving on the road will look very personal, so I will like it very much. ...

There is another reason why I resolutely refused it, that is, I felt that it was old. In the latest popular words, it is the feeling of middle-aged greasy.

Although I am nearly middle-aged, I don't want to give up and get greasy. I don't have any hobbies. Cars are my only hobby. I hope to use a car that makes people feel young and happy (in fact, several cars) to keep the feeling of youth.

I remember when I just bought this IS200, I was not married. At that time, I had no job and no income, but I was not short of money (thanks to my parents). Change cars and practice drifting when you are full every day. Change the wheels and shock absorbers when you are idle. I often stay in the garage for a day, and my nails are all black with oil. It is a feeling of youth to toss a car like this.

I refuse to accept old age! ! I want to fight! !

That's why I bought that Macy's recently, because the little boy who lives in his heart is not growing up.

Sorry, I can't love you.

VTEC？ Is it? That? Best! ! !
