Hi guys, I've been doing some research on these 2 cars, but just wanna hear from what you guys think (if you guys have been in a Accord Euro) on which is a more prefered car. I know they are both are different types of cars but anyone heard like any good new or bad news on a Euro before? Has anyone actually decided in having to pick one of these! Any opinions would be appreciated! thanks!

They're 2 completely different cars mate. If you want a neat, comfortable family/business car then get the Euro. If you like mountain runs, drag, circuit, speed then get the R33 GTR. My dad has a nice Euro Luxury that's been serving him well for a few years but i'd still take the R33.

this is kind of like asking whether you want soup of pizza for tea. they are 2 completely different cars. it really comes down to what you want. if you want performance then go the gtr, if you want a reliable daily driver that is very comfy and is 'zippy' then go the honda. if you want something that you can waste people in the traffic light grand prix then go the gtr. if you drive over rough roads and hate rough rides go the honda.

just remember that the honda is fwd, so if you have never driven a fwd with a bit of power in the wet then don't boot it halfway through a corner and expect it to keep turning as sharply as it was, and don't try to pull out into that small gap in traffic in the wet either cause you will just sit on the spot and spin. i have a magna, so i know all about understeer and wheelspin when trying to beat traffic.

i work at a honda dealership and have for the lasty 3 1/2 years and i cannot say a bad word about the euro's. They are a very reliable car. But like everyone else has said it depends what you want the car for because they are both completely different

:unsure: yeah I know they are both completely different cars but I just wanted to know if anyone had to pick between both of these which one they chose.

I mean if I had to pick I dont mind any but has anyone heard anything bad about the euros? I've checked on the forums of ozhonda and yet i see nothing bad or anything of the euro. I'm happy with a 4 door family car and happy to continue the skylines with all-wheel drive twin turbo powered car drooolll... :O

edit: I like em both and my fiance and I are deciding to buy one of these later down the year.

my parents have an accord euro, they are pretty nice cars. but the gearbox in it is pretty shit in my opinion. 1st gear revs out heaps quick and is hard getting used to driving it from a stand still (hill starts etc) not sure if its just our euro or if its all euros tho? i had a r33 gtst that was pretty modded and i loved it, regret selling it now. got a wrx now and i think its a heap of shit. ill be going to another nissan in about 6 months to a year. im thinking r33 gtr, s15, r34 gtt. not definate wat to get tho. i love all of them and best bet is to go drive the cars your thinking about buying and go from there. if u think about it, ur buying a brand new car vs a early model car. drive both and decide what you like to drive under daily usage.

something you also have to take into account is general running costs. the honda won't be too bad cause it should be light on fuel, you don't have to run premium, insurance should be cheaper, etc.

also if you go the honda you are less likely to get the modification bug, as there is little you can do to really get them going. and the mods you do don't really require other mods, unlike a gtr if you go bigger turbos then you really need to go aftermarket ecu, etc and it is just a trickle down effect. 1 mod leads to another mod needed to be made, etc.

Supra :laughing-smiley-014:

i will go for GTR33

well yea if you drive it everyday why buy gtr33,do you really want to race in every traffic lights? especially when you are started a family, i think the euro is more convenient.. about the euro though, heaps of my friend got accord euro, you really cant say bad thing about it... and if you want the more luxury one, go for the other accord (not euro)..

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
