Honda Legend




‘A bizarre proposition this. A gloriously good car that no-one in their right mind will ever buy.’

Our verdict

The Honda Legend is a highly technically complicated and luxurious bit of kit that seems to be making more of a name for itself as the secondhand sale of the century. Expensive new, but a giveaway in a couple of years.
Comfort

You're certainly not going to be short of gizmos in the Legend, but the ride could be a bit less fidgety, and there's neither as much space in the boot or cabin as you get in the better European alternatives.
13 out of 20
Performance

The Legend comes only with an impressive 3.5-litre V6 mated to a slick automatic gearbox. But a snappy 0-60mph time and high top speed won't sell itself as well in this high-end market as a good, torquey diesel would.
16 out of 20
Cool

The Legend is cool because it raises a laconic far eastern finger to the European convention of shelling out a fortune on ubiquitous Mercs and Beemers. But it's only cool if you got a secondhand bargain. Depreciation is epic.
9 out of 20
Quality

Naturally Honda's flagship saloon is superbly put together and feels suitably luxurious, although it's not quite on a par with the equivalent Lexus or Audi in that respect.
14 out of 20
Handling

With ultra-tech four-wheel drive that feeds the necessary torque to the outside wheels mid-corner, this is a car that certainly gets rounds corners, but that doesn't mean it really handles.
12 out of 20
Practicality

The Honda loses out a little here to the likes of the BMW 5-Series and Audi A6. There isn't much room for a third passenger in the rear and its boot is significantly smaller than most cars in this segment.
12 out of 20
Running costs

The best fuel returns you're going to get out of this are around the 24mpg mark. That's pretty awful in itself, and the C02 emissions put the Legend in the highest company car tax bracket.

Honda Accord


A car for very old people to drive very slowly. Why does it have more than two gears?’

Our verdict

The new Honda Accord is a highly accomplished saloon and estate, blessed with Honda’s usual bombproof build quality and a little bit more flair than previous models. But it is a bit pricey for a Honda.

Comfort

Although impressively refined and insulated from engine and wind noise, the Accord rides quite hard, like so many Japanese cars used to better road surfaces. It's not a deal breaker, but worth being aware of.

12 out of 20

Performance

Of the two petrol and one diesel engine available in the Accord, none is a bad apple. They're all quiet, punchy and economical to boot. The diesel would be our choice, with its comparable acceleration and vastly better returns at the pumps.

13 out of 20

Cool

Honda has a bit of retiree reputation in this country, but the Accord is a more modern and individual proposition than all those old Civic saloons you see doing 30mph on the dual carriageway every Sunday.

8 out of 20

Quality

This is what Honda does best. The Accord is mechanically indestructible and its interior, although perhaps not as luxurious as European tastes tend to demand, will age far better than you will.

13 out of 20

Handling

The Accord is a positive drive, feeling sharp and responsive through corners even if it lacks some steering feel. It's not the driver's car that the BMW 3-Series is, but it does a reasonable job of keeping you interested.

13 out of 20

Practicality

The saloon doesn't offer quite as much rear space as recent arrivals like the Citroen C5, and is narrower too, meaning get three abreast in the back can be cosy. But in estate form the boot is vast with a huge and ingenious sliding load bay.

13 out of 20

Running costs

Although not as cheap to buy as you might expect from a manufacturer without the brand kudos of some of its European rivals, the Accord won't be expensive to run. It doesn't tend to go wrong for starters, and insurance is low.
