New dream car – Honda Accord Tourer 2008

Although SAAB will always be my top preference, I came to the conclusion, that for the moment the SAAB 9-3 Sport Combi is a bit to expensive for my budget and it would not make sense to get it right now. Maybe in 2-3 years.

My 2nd option is Honda Accord but I was a bit disappointed to see the bad looks of the wagon version. This years Geneva Auto Show revealed the New Honda Accord Tourer which obviously looks so much better. I cannot explain why I am fan of wagon cars – probably because of “family-car” concept and also the comfort and extra space you have for long drives and holiday road trips.

However, getting back to budget consideration and to the fact that my 7 year old Skoda Fabia really needs to take a rest, I believe the best choice for me will be to get the current Honda Accord sedan(not the 2008 version). Why? Well 2 main reasons – 1. I don’t like the wagon version of the “old” model and 2.introducing the new Accord, Honda will have to drop prices to the older model. Considering that I am not a fan of changing cars to often and of investing extra on little repairs and improvements, I think it’s only natural to go for a new car instead of trying to bring a much cheaper used car from Germany.

What do you think? Should I get the new Accord, even if it’s more expensive and improvements are not overwhelming? Should I reconsider buying a new car and better get a used one?

Here are some pictures of the new Honda Accord Tourer 2008:
