Honda Accord Euro/Acura TSX - Which One is Right For You?

[@87Kerv]

Totally agree on the Accord/TSX being one of the better Honda products. You can definitely tell by how much value they hold in the used car market. I have a CU2 TSX Special Edition 6 speed and it's been a joy to own. Can't wait for the Euro-R's to be legal in the US so I can import one of them and add to my stable!

Nice video! I have a 2012 TSX Sport Wagon here in Philly with the K24z3 and just under 70k on the clock. Having owned Hondas going back to my 1983 Prelude, I think this wagon has the best build quality of any of my Hondas. The paddle shifters work seamlessly with the 5 speed slush box, and even bone stock, this wagon is an awesome highway cruiser. It even feels exotic because I seldom see another one.....we call that a unicorn.

Yeah man they're great cars

I'm a big fan of the wagons, great looking cars and I almost never see them on the road here in Houston. I'm currently driving a 09 TSX Sedan Tech Package with the 6 speed manual. I've had people on Facebook groups tell me it's extremely rare, but I could never manage to find the actual production numbers. Only 2009 and 2010 had both Tech and manual available, because 11-14 was only base or SE. Currently at 250K miles but still runs like new, OEM parts only when I work on it.

Just got a 2008 Honda Accord Euro luxury Navi with 177k KMs for 11.5k. I know you might thinking I'm dumb buying that for that price but I genuinely put hours comparing all the other cars that I can get at that price range and out of all the cars the euro luxury Navi had the most features, comfort and looks. Even with that much KM on the odometer it still runs like a dream. Other cars I considered included Honda Civic, Mazda 3, Toyota Aurion, Volvo S60, Holden Commodore and Lexus is250.

Having a Honda Accord EX 2nd gen is like having a top spec BMW 3/5 series or Merc C/E class without the reliability problems or ridiculous price tag. It has all the luxury features that a top spec BMW or Merc would have and is super fun to drive whether it's the base engine CU1 or the monstrous CU4

I’m sorry but I’d have to disagree, an E90 325i BMW is faster, better transmission, MUCH better infotainment, looks better, is rwd rather than fwd, has a lot more features and the N52 isn’t really any less reliable if properly maintained. The Honda is great, but it’s no match for BMW

Awesome car video. Really a huge fan of your channel since you started the build! I would just like to mention that both the old and new diesel are identical and both are super tuneable! A remap in a turbodiesel can get you lots of ponies! The old 2.2 diesel (i-ctdi) is more tuneable because it has no dpf. I have one in my civic with a stage 1 pushing 200bhp and 400 torque, paired to a 6 speed, 0-60 is in the low 7s (with lots of spinning) so calling it sad is a bit of an exaggeration imo, great video otherwise 8)

Because my 2006 was such a great car, I stayed with Honda Accord Euro. I do think the 2012 has much better steering and slightly better suspension, but that’s debatable.

Hey mate love your videos! Was just wondering what you think of your plm headers now that it’s been a while, I’m kind of on the fence right now about getting them for my Euro R to gain a bit more power but not too keen on the raspy sound side of it. Has the rasp faded a bit now that you’ve had it on for a while now? And also what’s it like getting a warrant with the noise and no cat? Cheers

Passed wof no prob, they're still pretty raspy but I don't mind it on a k24, makes good power though. On k20 it might sound a bit tinny though

If you keep the rest of the exhaust stock, the headers make little to no different in the sound of the exhaust. However. I found when I put the headers on I felt a noticeable power bump. And then I also just put in the tunable ECU with the reflash tune on it. And it absolutely opened the car up A LOT. I was able to blow the doors off my friends RSX type S.

[@baker6928]

A tune will get you from 138bhp to about 190-200, but it's the torque figures you want to look at in a diesel. 251 lb/ft becomes around 300 from a basic remap. For this, you will want some form of clutch kit as standard one can't handle that torque for long. These can be pricey here in the UK (£1.3k+ labour included) Outside of that, just make it look good. Diesels didnt come in Type S trim so grab a nice lip-kit and slap it on. Be warned though the diesels come with a side mounted FMIC so you will need to remove the left fog light to allow air flow if fitting one of these kits to a pre-face. That and lower it on a good set of H&R, Eibach or Tein springs/coilovers and get a nice set of wheels and accomodating tyres. Progress rear anti roll bar _(RARB)_ comes recommended from many-- and get some sort of custom exhaust because the downturned 'flacid' diesel one looks pathetic. 🤣 Lastly, one of the biggest changes I made to my Accord was fitting a mesh grill & de-chroming the car. Colour coding the grill surround and blackening the chrome around the windows. Something else everyone always overlooks is lighting. A good set of white bulbs up front (I recommend Osram Nightbreakers)- good LED sight lights & rear number plate lights and polish those headlights to make them look new! Something else to note, these diesels are very fussy when it comes to servicing. They only like _OEM_ Bosch parts. Failing this causes it to throw up an EML and go into limp mode at times. Just a heads up 😜

Correction for you: Accord Euro was manufactured from November 2002 :)

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yes, however in NZ they didn't go on sale until February 2003.... I can only really speak for the country I live in. And I thought I mentioned in the video the CL8 and CM1? Or are you talking about another model with the same chassis code?

[@maxxibro]

@@KiwiCarLife yeah I saw you mentioned those CL8 and CM1 later in the video. :) But yeah the Euro starts at November 2002. In New Zealand you can buy car that was made in 2002 and registered as 2003. Not in Japan, if the car made in 2002 then it will be registered as 2002. But NZ model year came out with 2003 even though it was a 2002. I hope I explained it correctly 😂

[@KiwiCarLife]

@@maxxibro Yeah nah makes sense. That's the case with a lot of cars if they are built late in the year. By the time they get here and are registered, it's the next year.

[@maxxibro]

@@KiwiCarLife Yep, that's definitely be it. How's Wellywood? Here in Hamilton things are getting back to the old way, well slowly.

[@KiwiCarLife]

@@maxxibro Yeah we're pretty much back to normal now besides the mask

[@davittdhabhoc7287]

Yeah the CU3 type s 2.2 diesel 180bhp stock that’s the one I have great car to drive just looking to get new tyres on it maybe pilot sport 3 or 4 but there pricey have To think about it… but great car motorway cruiser at its best 😀

[@KiwiCarLife]

Ps4's are good but I think there are better tyres for the price like re003s or Hankook ventus v2 concept 2

[@baker6928]

You can't beat PS4's; but as an alternative try Goodyear Eagle F1's, I highly recommend them. Uniroyal Rain-sports are also good tyres. If you're on a budget, try NEXEN.
