The new Accord Euro has grown bigger and offers more features for less money. This combination augurs well for Honda, and the Accord Euro certainly appears the type of economical yet appealing car for Australian families looking to downsize from the traditional big Aussie six,as well as those upscaling their size requirements from the compact hatches.
