I have had a few instances where people I don't even know have come up to me and complimented me on my Euro which has never happened with any other car I have owned! Last week I was at my local Shell Petrol station filling up with Optimax when the guy at the bowser in front of me looks over at my Euro and says, "Hey really nice car, is that a Euro?" . He walks over and asks if he can have a look so I show him around it, he then wants to know how much they go for because he wants one! I had never ever seen this guy before lol.
Today I was about to go out, I backed my Euro out of the garage and was going around to get in when these 2 guys walk past and say "Nice Ride", I mean what else can I say but "thanks" ?
I guess my ABP Euro is getting some nice attention, just hope noone tries to steal it ;) Anyone else had these encounters with folks they don't even know giving compliments on their Euro?
Guess I made a good choice getting one :D

Yeah euro's do get a lot of compliments...
I get a lot of compliments on my car when its standing still and when its moving. I get a lot of thumbs ups when on the road. Most of the compliments come in "Nice wheels" when its standing still.
The most weird thing was when another honda accord euro owner actually followed me all the way to my house to actually have a closer look. Wondered where he could get hold of the mugen bodykit...
Well the euro is a nice car and is styled nice... Changing to a bodykit and aftermarket alloys improves that further bit more...

Cool! Mine is stock apart from the spoiler and Ming Tints so I can imagine what would happen if I threw a mugen bodykit on there and some nice 18 inch rims :) People have said they like the Arctic Blue color too, should have seen my mum when she saw it, she was going around saying, "have you seen Pat's car, isn't it nice?" Makes you glad you bought one :D I parked down at the local supermarket next to a Black Euro the other week, when I walked out the owner of the other Euro was there putting his groceries away and looking at my Euro, we had a good chat about the colors and what else we wanted to do with them!

Yeah the blue colour on the euro is definetly a nice colour... Very fresh just like a Blue BMW...
Nowdays there are a lot of euro's on the road...I guess Honda has a winner car for the medium car market segment..

You have full size pics of your car someplace. The one in your avatar looks nice.

had two cops pull me over for a look basically.
One of em wanted to buy one and mine was the first kitted/lowered/magged one he had seen.
Should have seen his eyes when i showed him the boot.... they loved it
LOL
Plenty of compliments and I have lost count of people who come up to me and say "I am looking for a new car for me/wife - are you happy with the Euro?"
My favourite compliment so far - "that colour looks amazing - what do they call that?!" Location? McDonalds drivethrough. She then called over her work colleague to show her.

Talking about cops had a cop pulled me over once...
He said nice car, nice rims must have set u back a bit.. Then i got done for my illegal 05 tint... Talked my way out of it... Thought i would get done for how low my car was as well but i guess cops don't care about how low it is at the front..
I promised him to put legal tints on the car then he said again "nice car" before he left...

Everyone seems to have this thing for the Euro's rear end.. I get the most compliments from that end of the car LOL... Only bad thing I've got is them asking me why I run a single outlet instead of the OEM dual LOL!

There is no other euro up my way, the only other honda's in town are a jazz and an MDX, so naturally I get every one's attention.
Alot of the younger people comment on how they like what I've done with the exhaust! They don't believe me that the dual mufflers are standard.
Alot of people with mazda 6's and 3's say to me that they wish had of got a euro,
so naturally I rub it in!
Alot of people get envious, but my euro is still scratch free. That is saying something with all the tossers up here.
