Hi all - recently purchased a Honda Accord EX 2.2 diesel - 2011, manual, (UK spec).
Black with black leather interior. Sat nav with the premium hifi. 31,000 miles on clock.

I'm pretty pleased with the overall performance and the economy is brilliant - but I'm so gobsmacked with how sharply it steers. Previous cars recently have been an Infiniti M35h GT and 370Z GT.

One issue concerning me at the moment is that over the last few days the clutch seems to feel heavier especially when stuck in urban traffic. Is this usual?

Thanks.

Welcome to HAF.

For the clutch, be sure to check the fluid level. Might even think about replacing the fluid, bleeding a clutch is not fun but can be done.

Yes I am in the UK. Thanks for your comments.

Took the car back to the dealer and they said the clutch is perfectly normal. So I told them if it gets worse or goes in the next few months you will ahve the original problem logged! The salesmen told me no problem. So we will see how it goes.
