Im driving this car since 3 years now and I have saved quite a lot of money for long time to upograde my civic to 2 door accord - my dream car. Although it might not sound very fancy to the luxurious segment car owner but i belive for the common mass this is a top end car we can afford and having a coup is an added luxury. Price: 130,000 AED (when new in 2014) Bought for: 105,000 AED (In 2015) Pros - Awesome styling from wheels to the body - Great on road presence among its league - Very reliable and capable car overall - Responsive handling and comfortable ride - Top notch safety ratings and awesome cabin - 4.7 rating out of 279 reviews Cons - Back seat not good for 6 feet size adult - Honda parts are little expensive than others - Starter failure - known problem - Comes with pathetic tires, so change is needed - Lane watch should be on both sides - 3.5 is thirsty in city but on highway with ECON mode is very nice and reasonale Specifications Engine & Power Engine Capacity (liters) 3.5 Cylinders V6 Drive Type Front Wheel Fuel Tank Capacity (liters) 65 Fuel Economy (L/100 Km) 8.8 Fuel Type Petrol Horsepower (bhp) 276 hp Torque (Nm) 339 Transmission Automatic Top Speed (Km/h) 212 Seating Capacity 5 Seater Acceleration 0-100 Km/h 7.3 Sec Measurements Length (meters) 4.890 Width (meters) 1.850 Height (meters) 1.465 Wheelbase (meters) 2.775 Trunk Capacity (liters) 447 Although Honda Accord is a top choice for families, but many opting for serious upgrade from current entry level sedan chooses the Accord. It's 2 door coupe is among the most sportier option available from Honda with a very capable and responsive engine. I have never felt short of power when I really need to push this car for limits from zero stand still. For the great styling and road presence i can confidently say that it is the best looking japanese car in town. I hear that earlier than 2012 model gear was an issue, but this model so far has no issues on the cvt gearing and runs and drive perfect. I have completed almost 60,000 kms on this car and have not regretted this buy even for one day or one hour, it is the best thing I have done so far as im in love with this car, reliability, looks, performance, handling, boot space, fuel economy. ECO mode is good for highway to get good fuel mileage, if you use that in city car is less responsive and in case you hit throttle hard then car will jitter a bit to switch of econ and comes back to original 3.5 liter response. The electronic adjustments could be more user friendly. I'm not an electronics person and don't care otherwise, but the system can be quirky. Mechanically, no complaints so far, haven't been in for anything more than routine maintenance and a recall regarding the battery sensor. I will highly advise changing out the factory tires as soon as you can because you'll be replacing them by 30,000 kms anyway. Car is perfectly roomy for 5 adults...plenty of leg room in the rear seating. Trunk is roomy, but entry could be wider. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this vehicle to friends and family, and Hondas in general. Can't go wrong! Two of the best video reviews I searched to add more value for next buyer.

Here is the official Mitsubishi service schedule, it is up to you to make sure the garage carries out the necessary work and no unnecessary work. The following maintenance intervals are based on the assumption of a vehicle which works under normal conditions, meaning, if you are a rally driver and do the Paris-Dakar every Monday, you may want to have an other maintenance plan… One more thing we assume is that you are going to do most of the work yourself, that will reduce the maintenance cost and you will know your Pajero much better. Weekly basis: Check engine oil level Check transmission oil level Check clutch and brakes fluid level Check power steering fluid level Check tires visually for defects and check their pressures. Check engine coolant level Check the battery for corrosion Once a year or 10,000 km: Change engine’s oil and filter Replace air filter if used in dusty area Inspect coolant hoses Inspect brake hoses Inspect brakes – discs and pads, replace if necessary. Rotate tires Inspect ball joints and steering components for grease leaks Inspect drive shafts boot for tears and grease leaks Grease the propeller shafts joints. Adjust the valves (diesel engines only) Check the differential oil level Check the transfer oil level Check the engine driving belt – replace if needed (dry/cracked) Inspect fuel system 3.2 diesel engine - check upper timing guide Every 2 years or 25,000 km (which ever comes first): Change automatic transmission lubricate and filter (2) Change manual transmission lubricate. (3) Change transfer oil (4) Change differentials oil (5) Drain, wash and refill the cooling system (with new coolant) Inspect spark plug cables Replace air filter Every 5 years or 100,000 km (which ever comes first): Replace timing belt (if any) Replace spark plugs Replace spark plugs cables The above maintenance plan is for a normal/light use. If you drive a lot under severe conditions, you may want to reduce that intervals by half. (1) Choosing the right engine oil viscosity depends on the weather in your area. For most areas, SAE 15W-40 will do the job (fits temp range from 0C to 50C), if you live in area where the temp is below 0, then you may consider SAE 10W-30, fits -20C to 40C or SAE SW-30 which works from -35 to 15C Engine oil capacity: V6 petrol engine: 4.9 liters. 2.8L diesel: 7.5 liters 3.2L diesel: NM/NP: 7.5L NS/NT: 9.8L (2) Auto transmission fuild: Capacity: NL: 8.5L, NM/NP 9.3L, NS: 9.7L, NT:10.9L Type: NL: Dexron 2 NM, NP, NS, NT: Diamond ATF SP 3 or equivalent. (3) Manual transmission fluid: 3.2liters of SAE 80/90W GL-5 gear lubricant (4) Transfer case oil: 2.8 liters of 75W-85W GL-4 gear oil (5) Differential lubricant: Standard: SAE 80/90W GL-5 gear oil Limited Slip: LS 90 (usually you will have a sticker on the diff if you have the LSD one) Capacity: Front: 1.2 liters Rear: 1.6 liters Please note that Mitsubishi recommended an oil change every 10,000 Kms. Don't let any garage scam you with 3k, 5k etc oil changes. Read the truth here,

Well you can pretty much throw out swapability with other cars parts on that thing.

Personally I think Fox bodies was the ugly stretch of the mustang blood line only beaten by the Mustang II.
