Carsguide Contributing Journalist Graham Smith had this to say at the time: Jim Erskine: I bought my 2011 Accord Euro new. It has done 70,000km and has performed flawlessly except for a minor intermittent noise from the driver's window and the rear tyre wear due to the negative camber this car is set up with for improved handling. I'm very happy with it.

This is what Graham Smith liked most about this particular version of the Honda Accord: Excellent build quality, Choice of sporty Euro or comfortable Accord , Legendary Honda reliability
The 2012 Honda Accord carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1200 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Focus is a good car with a serious flaw; it has a dual-clutch automatic transmission that gives trouble. I would happily have a 2012 Focus with a manual gearbox, but I wouldn't buy one with a dual-clutch auto. I'd be looking at a Japanese or Korean brand and going for something like a Mazda 3, Honda Civic or Accord, Hyundai Elantra with a good record of reliability.

With local production shutting down the big-car choices are getting fewer and fewer, but right now you can still buy a Calais if that's what you like. You can also buy an equivalent Falcon or Toyota Aurion. There are more expensive cars, from the likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi etc. that would suit, but they come with a much higher price tag than a Calais. Others you could try are a Skoda Superb, a Honda Accord V6 Luxury if you're prepared to give up a little in size, and there's also the Chrysler 300C.

Before you jump out of the Honda, head to a tyre specialist (Bob Jane T-Marts is usually good) and talk about switching to a quieter tyre. A change of tyres can really help and it's a lot cheaper than a change of cars.
