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.

I agree the TPL Insurance increasing every year by saying govt is increasing prices, global insurance rates are hiked and what not genuine or fake excuses by the agents. Since last 3-4 year third party insurance has hiked from 700-800 dhs to 1200-1300 dhs. every time I think one agent is good and get good rates and give him some more insurance policies of my office friends, then in next renewal he rips me on my own car insurance

Is Fuel System Cleaner works or Just an Eye wash
adil replied to Sidshk's topic in Mitsubishi Pajero Forum in UAE
It is actually useful and also snake oil to be very honest. It is useful in really really really bad super bad engine condition, stalled in scrap for long time and when installed make lot of spluttering and clanking on first run. I used these products two bottle in half tank - 4 times the dosage and felt some noticeable difference. That's it. I also used these prodcuts in my other car second, third and fourth time and never felt a thing. So it cleans is true, but use every certain kms is a bullshit to make profit thats why every petrol station has to force this suggestive sell. You can't simply clean further whatever is already cleaned. -
That's an awesome find guys, any idea from where to buy them?

Engine knocks n Cranks! *tick tick tick* sound
adil replied to AnishCrew's topic in Hyundai Tucson Forum in UAE
Stay away from opened engine, as who ever replaced it must be under some uncurable situation. If it's in the accidental car and you can verify kms as gaurav mentioned then it's your best than rebuilding it.- 35 replies

I will vote for Patrol for better performance and road presence, LC is a donkey cart for safari boys only. No offence.

Congrats on your sweet ride, but sorry to hear about its present conditipn. Hope you know that engine replace is the last resort that any owner/mechanic comes to an agreement. Before that there are millions of attempts and ideas break into fix the dying engine to same professional level. reason im saying this that even if you buy a used engine then you might have much worse issue as you are not buying new one off the crate or you are not buying one from running car. So fix what you have (if possible) has much better success ratio

How to install Salik tag elsewhere than on windscreen
adil replied to mark's topic in General Discussions
Yes you can safely cut the area inside that white box including the white outline, I have done this many times and RFID tag is way inside that white box exactly in the center and you can feel it loud and clear by touching so you can literally feel the scissor if you go wrong. Circled area you showed its just a print design and not tag.
