4 days with my Octy

[Antiplastix]

Two of my work collegues have bought new Honda Accord Euros in the last couple of years, 1 sold the other looking to off load. Both complain of the same problem, gutless unless you rev it to 5k rpm. Other than that they are a nice car, if you re over 50.

I went the Mazda 6 hatch for that reason, they put all the power and torque down low for every day use, Honda put it where most people won't ever wander. Lack of fhe hatch was the deal breaker there as well, the boot plain sucks, two of my workmates complain about it all the time, not sure why though, when they were looking to buy I told them to make sure the boot fitted what it was supposed to.

u need to get the engine screaming, n keep it screaming, before u see any significant movement!!

The Mazda 6 hatch would have been our second choice too, except that the salesman was a touch too unprofessional for us to buy from them. We also thought the interior was a bit too busy as well, especially the steering wheel.

I've got a mid 2006 6, I went the RS last time over the just released 6, as it wasn't much different, and what was different I didn't like.

The old steering controls were spot on, the little joystick thing drove me mental in a Mazda 3 hire car recently...and the way everything has been separated out display wise was nuts.

I am not going to justify buying an Accord Euro,as it is absorlutely brilliant,but all I will say is Honda sold 750 Euros locally last month,Skoda sold 117 Octavias locally last month .
Tells you something,does it not ???

Ummmm, using that logic, Hyundais and Kias must be great cars too ? Oh and Porsches really crap.

Don't ever dent the roof.
One of the woman at work had hers badly damaged in the hail in March (to the point where it needs a new roof skin). She found out today that the panels have not left Japan yet and they have been on order for over 9 weeks.

My new Euro replaced my very much loved 2007 Jetta,which was written off by the hail,so thats a sore point for me...

The bonnet and boot were easy to replace,but Allianz reckoned the roof needed to be replaced too,and was going to be too much trouble and expensive for them to do,so paid me out,and put it on auction to save themselves lots of trouble.

My car was resold today by Pickles in Melbourne...
