FLEET NewsNet looks at how new cars taken on to a typical fleet might perform over the next three-years/60,000-miles.

Using data from used car expert CAP Motor Research, we benchmark two cars against each other to see how they perform over the traditional fleet cycle. This week, we compare executive models from Honda and Volvo – the Accord 2.2 i-CDTi Executive and the S40 2.OD SE.
