About the Honda Accord
The fifth-generation Honda Accord for the European market was distinct from the North American and Japanese versions, sharing its platform with the Rover 600. Built at Honda's Swindon plant in the UK, the 2.0i LS served as a mid-range trim, offering a balance of equipment and efficiency. It is highly regarded by enthusiasts for its double-wishbone suspension at both ends, providing handling precision that surpassed many contemporary rivals. While not a performance model, its F20Z1 engine is noted for its smoothness and legendary reliability.

Honda Accord fun facts
- The European fifth-generation Accord was the first Honda model to be manufactured at the company's Swindon production facility in England.
- Unlike the wider American version, the European Accord was designed to fit within the Japanese 'compact' tax bracket, resulting in a narrower body.
- The chassis was so well-engineered that it formed the basis for the Rover 600 series through a joint venture between Honda and the Rover Group.
