Well the turbo diesel isn't here in the states so I'm assuming your not from the US. Where are you from?
I have heard some really good things about that car. Crazy good gas mileage like 45-50MPG and it’s backed up with lots of tourk...just very little HP so I'm guessing its has a very low red line. But like always there always room for upgrades. Keep us updated if you get the turbo diesel accord I would like to hear some 1st hand experience on how the car really is.

Welcome and enjoy your stay. Don't be afraid to poke around the forum and ask some questions...just be sure to post them in the correct area.

Welcome, there's a few UK members on here. I just saw someone from Manchester asking about his alarm system.
