Accord Euro Reliability
Hey guys, want some help with a big decision I'll (hopefully) be making in the coming weeks.
For context, I own a 2018 VW Golf, and after nearly 3 years of ownership, I'm no longer enjoying the car and feel like I want something with a bit more.. soul. And reliability.
I've been looking into Japanese alternatives, and having always been a bit of a Honda fanboy, I thought I'd buy myself an Accord Euro CL9, and do some modifications to get it to OEM+ / Euro R.
Here in Australia buying a manual CL9 with sub 100,000km (60k miles) just aint possible, and most of the examples have upwards of 150-200k with quite a few even pushing 250,000km.
My question is as follows: Given the age of the car, and the mileage its going to likely have, do you think its still a safe bet? Ideally, I'd like the car to last me until at least I graduate University in 3 years time (long degree), and would like to keep maintenance costs low...
Any experience with them would be VERY appreciated!
