Honda's executive sedan competed with the Camry and Passat in SA through the 2000s, with the European-sourced eighth generation the last one sold here around 2015 and 2016. Petrol models dominated although a 2.2 diesel was offered for a time. Used Accords are cheap to buy and known for covering big mileages, but the badge lacks German status so values sit low.
