Honda accord 2.0 VS 2.4 ?

[BKK8]

Thinking of getting a gen9 (2013-2017) Honda accord. Anyone knows whats the difference (besides hp obviously) between the 2.0 and 2.4 version and which one will be the one to get.

Don't know what the HP numbers are like for Gen9 but I drove a Gen8 2.0 extensively and I think it's underpowered. It's fine for city and highway cruising but anything uphill, e.g. trips around Petchabun, Northern Thailand etc. it really struggled even with just 2 adults and a child.

 

On the other hand the 2.0 is very economical in terms of consumption. So it really depends on your intended use and priorities.

 

Personally I would get the 2.4.

 

Just my 2c.

I think it was around 17km/l if I remember correctly, around 60% motorway. Mostly put in 91 gasohol.
