But after two days driving my favourite roads, some surprising straight - line performance benchmarking at the Millbrook Proving Ground and a bit
of hoonage at the Bedford Autodrome, I'll be forced to reconsider those early feelings of disappointment, for this will prove to be a thoroughly enjoyable test.
Like Wes, I spent just one evening in the 2013 Honda Accord, but I did manage a variety of driving situations including stop - and - go commuting, open freeways and a bit of back -
alley hoonage.
This is really only suitable for
absolute hoonage, as the transmission will under no circumstances change gear until redline.
From historic to
hoonage, we've got a little bit of everything.
What's more, the six forward gears are spaced in a way that encourages efficient driving, not hijinks and
hoonage.
