Its an absolutely outstanding car, local avg is 8 to 10 and long is 12 to 14 kmpl. Parts are bit expensive as compare to civic. Value for money car.
Here ppl will advise you about accord who have never kept one and may be never sat in accord, they r cultus wali qaum and will misguide u like anything that it is khatara or fuel guzzler etc. I have kept all variants of Honda and particularly 3 gens of accord. Please take advise from only those who have kept this car themselves, otherwise every tom, dick and harry will narrate a new confusing and contradictory stories. You may compare it with other similar priced cars not with other expensive cars.
