Exclusive Test Drive New Full Size Honda Accord 2.4


Exclusive Test Drive New Full Size Honda Accord 2.4 (Indonesia)

A gorgeous lady with marble-like skin, dark sungalsses, dressed in black with soft white gloves. Her hand brought an integrated remote Jack-Knifed Key. Her name was Lifta Hutapea.

She is a senior grade college student in Jakarta. I presumed maybe 25 years old. "Good morning, Sir", she greeted me whilst opened the door of the New Full-Size Honda Accord 2.4 that recently launched by Honda Prospect Motor. What would you do with your personal chauffeur is she turned out to be a beautiful model or a finalist of a beauty pageant in this country? (Indonesia).





I don't even want to fantasize about it. But that was actually happened on the exclusive test drive of the New Full-Size Honda Accord 2.4 in the morning of early March 2011. 24 units of the New Full-Size Honda Accord 2.4 along with 24 beautiful models were ready to be your personal chauffeur and took you anywhere you wanted to go. Some of them were the finalist of Puteri Indonesia 2010 beauty pageant.

Lifta confirmed me to have a safe and comfortable seating position in the passenger's seat. This particular part gave me a new impression. Not only it looked so luxurious with high quality soft leather material, but also it has more spacious area compared to other competitors in its class such as the knee area, foot space and celling heights.

The lumbar feature in this car was perfect to support the backbone and kept it upright yet comfortable. The cabin reminded me of Topaz, a gem that has luxurious aura a
nd convinced to give a soothing effect to the one who wore it.

Lifta adjusted her seating position with power seat controller and set up the steering wheel position. It was just a finger click, thanks to its tilt and Telescopic Steering Colum System.

From the lobby of Ritz Carlton Hotel in heart of Jakarta, the beautiful Lifta pressed the gas pedal of this New Full Size Honda Accord 2.4 and experiencing the Electronic Drive by wire system and the performance of I-VTEC engine which claimed is able ti produce the power of 180HP. This engine was balance of big power and economic fuel consumption matched to Euro4
standard. Whitour asking, she knew exactly what she had to do on tuesday morning early March : headed to a golf course in Rancamaya, Bogor, West Java.

I had to be honest to admire her beauty and enjoyed having the conversation about many things along the way. Once a while, she turned her head to me as a respond to our conversation. In the driver's seat, this beautiful lady was easily to communicate in the cabin of this premium class New Full Size Honda Accord 2.4. Honda has precisely calculated all the elements needed to make it more comfortable.

Lifta Said, the cluster meter was user friendly because it was placed in f
ront of her. I asked her to set the Automatic Climate Control System for desirable temperature. This New Full Size Honda Accord 2.4 is offered a lot of interesting features, including the USB port and iPod 5G that played the song of Barry White's along 70 Kilometers Jagorawi highway road.

This was the route that I usual took in a small sedan 1.5L, so i knew exactly that KM16 at night, I can watch the line ups of glowing light from Bogor to Jakarta. I also knew exactly the spot between KM32 and KM38 was the best place to enjoy the scenery of Gunung Gede (Mt. Gede) on my left and Gunung Salak (Mt. Salak) on my right. And if the weather was kind e
nough, both of the mountain was seen so beautiful from this spot.

Yet the sensation in this New Full Size Honda Accord 2.4 was completely different in here, Lifta and me enjoyed the Cruise Control feature applied in the car. She was e
xtremely confident with its safety feature of Active Protection of this luxurious sedan such as ABS, ABD, BA and even Vehicle Stability Assist to maintain stability during maneuvering in slippery road.

According to Lifta, this VSA can avoid the under-steer or over-steer when the rear or front wheels lost its traction. I definetly agreed. She even enjoyed the paddle-shift features on the left and right side of the steering wheel.


As we entered the city of Bogor, every turnover maneuver well-performed, thanks to its double wishbone suspension system at front and multilink at rear. these features also performed well on a rough road condition.


I very much enjoyed the lunch in Rancamaya that day. Gunung Salak (Mt. Salak) which convinced to be a mystical mountain by some of Bogor residences, was looking so perfect. The beautiful Lifta parked the car without having any difficulties. Its rear Parking Sensor features gave her a big help.

I also enjoyed the stylish and luxury of every exterior detail of this New Full Size Honda Accord 2.4 that made of high quality and finest materials. From its new front grill and front bumper, the fog light, headlamp, retractable door mirrors, elegant garnished chrome, the new 17" rims to its elegant rear design. all of these things reminded me of the luxurious sapphire. The same gem used by the Imperial Kingdom of England as main jewel on the Crown during the King's or Queen's coronation.

This journey explained everything. Frankly, I didn't want to test the Passive Safety Monocoque body Technology features that had maximum protection against impact from every direction, the G-CON and ACE body structure which able to absorb the energy. I also didn't want to enjoy the fron Dual Stage SRS airbags. I also believed tha the Active Headrest feature and Dual
Pretensioner & ELR with 2-step Load Limiter were able to perform well if anything had happened.

Lifta stood beside the New Full Size Honda Accord 2.4. She opened the door and gently asked. "Where do you want me to take you to, Sir?"


"Have you forgotten? I have to go to a spa this afternoon...."
