From an Accord to… Another Accord?
In my driveway is a car that’s almost as old as I am. A 19 year old Honda Accord automatic that gives plenty of poke and has rather impressive early ABS brakes. And the air-con still works, which is excellent given the recent muggy weather.
So why would I want to change my car? Going to visit friends was always a delight, because in a Honda Glasgow might as well be around the corner. But one can’t help wanting to move with the times, and whilst I’ve had years of impeccable service from the Accord I was starting to look at trendier cars with rather less than innocent intent. There’s no mistaking a car that’s getting on in years, and whilst I was still more than happy with the performance, there were little indicators that the Accord was starting to feel its age.
I found myself back in Pollockshields recently, taking a break from work and staying with my chums for a couple of weeks to enjoy the glorious surrounding countryside and equally arresting architecture. But there was one thing that caught my eye every time we drove out for the day. A certain company that seemed to encourage me to entertain thoughts of defection from the trusty little Accord.
It was a Honda dealership, and with a forecourt full of sleek, shining and above all modern models it wasn’t long before I was forced to come up with an excuse for taking off for a day on my own. I already knew that in a Honda, Glasgow traffic was nothing more than a slight inconvenience rather than the infuriating hindrance that it became in other models. The older Accord had served me well for years, but it was time to think about an upgrade. I was in the ideal place to make a decision about the future of my driving career.
Reader, I chose a new Honda Accord. There are more bells and whistles in this car than I know what to do with, and every passenger thus far has been unable to refrain from saying “ooh, that’s fancy” when they slip into the seat. The ride quality is outstanding, and I couldn’t be happier. Needless to say my friends were a little confused when I rocked up after a day of alleged shopping in a brand new car, but after a quick spin they understood my reasons behind purchase!
You’re probably asking yourself what happened to the old Accord? Surely I couldn’t be so cold hearted as to abandon it for a younger model?For that old Honda, Glasgow was not the last stop. I ignored the very compelling scrappage offer and went through some interesting logistical adventures to ensure that my old car could come home with me. After all, why try to improve upon perfection? Now I can still get my fix of vintage Honda excellence without feeling envy every time I pass a curvy new model.
An Amazing Accord in Glasgow

So why would I want to change my car? When I visited friends in Glasgow, Honda was the manufacturer that got me there in comfort and without a headache from a whining engine as I beetled up the M6. But one can’t help wanting to move with the times, and whilst I’ve had years of impeccable service from the Accord I was starting to look at trendier cars with rather less than innocent intent. There’s no mistaking a car that’s getting on in years, and whilst I was still more than happy with the performance, there were little indicators that the Accord was starting to feel its age.

Is the Honda S2000 the Right Car for You?
Living in Strathblane means that any car that happens to find itself on my driveway is in for a lot, whether I’m heading into town for work or going for a day in the glorious countryside. I’ve had my eye on a Honda S2000 for a while now, and when my current car failed its MOT it seemed like fate was pointing me in the direction of the alluring convertible.
For my hankered after Honda, Glasgow was the destination of choice. I spent time browsing online and found an absolutely unbeatable price on a new S2000 at Henrys Honda. With my mind made up and having seen an excellent finance package, I went to bed that night dreaming of all the country roads that I would conquer with the roof down and the wind in my hair. Needless to say that in the morning I was like a child at Christmas, eager to tear down to the dealership and get behind the wheel of the convertible that had captured my heart.
A friend very kindly offered to give me a lift to the Glasgow Honda dealership in exchange for being the first to take a roofless ride in the S2000, and as that was a very fair trade I found myself in the showroom with shining eyes and trembling hands. My friend decided to stick around, and was wowed by the impressive range of new Honda models on offer!
I’m over the moon with my new Honda, and if you’re looking for a convertible car the S2000 beats the competition hands down. Whether you’re cruising in the countryside or cutting a dash on the motorway, the S2000 will prove a delight to drive wherever you’re heading.

Honda Accord – Moving Away From Elderly Stereotypes
Some car brands or models are unjustly categorised into owner stereotypes. The Fiat 500 will forever be associated with young women’s first cars, the Mondeo will always nod toward the middle-of-the-road family man and the BMW Z3 will always belong to smug executives or hairdressers. There is one categorisation that has stuck in my mind and been noticeable during car journeys; the Honda Accord is a car for pensioners.
Anyone who is familiar with the British roads will have been stuck, frustrated, behind an elderly person in an Accord, who insists on doing 30mph in a national speed limit area with no sign of moving out of 3rd gear. After about 10 miles of this, you can feel your anger welling up inside you like a volcano that’s about to blow and you make a risky manoeuvre to overtake which results in you either crashing headlong into an oncoming lorry, or careening off into a ditch . Either way the Honda Accord driver will tut and shake his head as he slowly drives past your lifeless corpse.
This maybe a slight exaggeration, but the Honda Accord has really built up a reputation for being the elderly’s car of choice, but why exactly? Let me make it obvious. It’s the multitude of gadgets Honda include that take away all choice and responsibility from the driver. In the top spec model there is an annoying beep if you accelerate over the speed limit, there is annoying beep if you change lanes on the motorway and there is an Adaptive Cruise Control system, which presumably involves some kind of annoying beep. All of these little beeps and blips seem to attract the elderly car buyer; they are obviously reassuring or potentially keep the driver awake as they are cruising at 26Mph on the dual carriageway.
Despite all the annoying warning noises, the Honda Accord is a pretty handy car. The two petrol and diesel options are all punchy, responsive and ecologically sound. If given choice between the i-CDTi Diesel and the i-VTEC petrol engines, the diesel makes the most sense. Its performance is very close to that of the petrol and the monetary returns you’ll get at the petrol pumps are worth the minor drop in performance.
The quality and reliability of Honda cars is renowned internationally and these factors are also going to appeal to the more sensible and prudential senior market. You can’t really picture a 61 year old man going out and buying a sporty, but famously unreliable Alfa Romeo can you? No, those amongst us of a more ‘advanced’ age always choose the safe options and there is little safer than a Honda Accord.
The Honda Accord’s current reputation is slightly undeserved though. At its core it is a perfectly serviceable car for anyone looking for a good performance saloon with low residuals. I’m sure Honda aren’t like to be overly concerned by their current ‘elderly’ consuming demographic, as long as they keep buying the car in droves, which I’m sure they will…which they surely will.
