It doesn't help that we've got a handful of members outside the USA. The majority of members here are American. Don't get me wrong, we'll try to help when we can, but not many of us have any experience with diesels.

I quite like my diesel Accord. I had it chipped up for 200hp. Acceleration is brilliant. reached top speed 120mph so far. Probably not a lot more to get but that’s plenty quick lol

To be fair, a lot of things like VSA are probably about the same regardless of the car. The UK Accord around 2008 is pretty much our Acura TSX with a different grille.

I've been over there and I was impressed with the diesel engines. Nice to drive around for 2 weeks & the fuel gauge hardly moves.

Actually that’s helpful to know. My Accord can reach 60mpg with reasonable driving. Normal gets 52-55, but downside is spirited driving requires a lot of gear changing.
