Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 2007The New Accords
Any impressions on the new Accords? I'm interested in a EX-L V6 Coupe in "Polished Metalized Metal Metallic" (what a name!). My wife and I saw one with black leather and thought it was stunning. I was even more stunned by the MSRP! TIA. Kind of ugly. Too bad after the great looking new Civic. Some one said that the new Accord looks like an old Saturn. I agree. Lots of wrinkles in sheet metal doesn't make up for plain jane design. > Any impressions on the new Accords? I'm interested in a EX-L V6 Coupe in > "Polished Metalized Metal Metallic" (what a name!).

The opinions seemed to be split down the middle, but most I've talked to that don't like the Coupe have only seen pictures. I think it looks like an Infinity from the side, a Beemer from the back and almost Mustang-like in the front. I like it. Now the sedan I don't like. I've seen and driven one with the 190 HP engine. The engine was loud and didn't shift smoothly. > Now the sedan I don't like. I've seen and driven one with the 190 HP > engine. > The engine was loud and didn't shift smoothly. ??? I have one and its the complete opposite! Peace, Polfus The car has its ups and downs. My sister bought the EX Auto Sedan. For one I think the seats are very hard compared to my Integra. Not sure if they will soften as the years go on. Even my friends 06 300 has softer cloth seats. The steering wheel is much smaller then our 6th gen Accord which makes seeing the cluster sometimes difficult for me (I'm 6'1). The car is very large, not sure if you are looking for something this big, but I'd rather have the size of a TSX. The 190hp engine is great. It has good pickup and shifts very smoothly. I would recommend that if you can, get a demo and take it out for a few hrs to get the feel of the car. Nick >Any impressions on the new Accords?

To me it looks like a 5-series swallowed a Passat (or maybe the other way around). -- Mike Smith > Any impressions on the new Accords?

I was even more stunned > by > the MSRP! TIA. I'm assuming you were stunned because you thought the MSRP was high .......or did you think it was reasonable ? Not trying to be a smartass , I think you get a lot for your money with the new Accord > (snip ) I think you get a lot for your money with the new Accord I agree..it seems like it should cost even more, for some reason. Then again..I am talking about the black EX sedan w/tan-wood trim interior that I bought. The gray interior ones, and the LX model....don't get me too much. I got this one: http://automobiles.honda.com/assets/images/2008/accord-sedan/customize/base_car/ BK_ex_34FRONT.jpg Peace, Polfus >> (snip ) I think you get a lot for your money with the new Accord > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >Peace, >Polfus Very nice and good luck! Originally, my intent was to get rid of the 2000 Ody because my son now drives his own car and no longer plays hockey, plus it's due for a timing belt so I figured the time was right for a new car and originally was thinking sedan. After seeing the coupe I just thought it had a great look. The bad news is, my wife drives it while I still drive my 96' Accord EX sedan. I do love that car though. My commute to work involves a lot of wear and tear. However Honda is one of my favorite car, just the same with you all btw thats nice and good luck _____________________ Used Car Donation Car & Autos Guide http://www.zone-car.com > However Honda is one of my favorite car, just the same with you all > btw thats nice and good luck> Thanks John...you thinking of getting one yourself?

My commute to work involves a lot of wear and tear. Would be even sweeter in a new '08 Accord Coupe, you must admit :) Oh..and you must *really* love your wife, 'cause you got it for her it seems! Peace, Polfus >>>I got this one: >>> [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >Peace, >Polfus Oh..and you must *really* love your wife, 'cause you got it for her it >seems! Let's not go too far here! ;} In the past, the arrangement by which my wife gets the new car has allowed us to own Honda vehicles for 8-11 years. I've been driving them since 76' when I first bought a used Civic CVCC with manual choke, shiftable auto and a cool wood steering wheel. I loved that car. > Oh..and you must *really* love your wife, 'cause you got it for her it >>seems! > > Let's not go too far here! ;} LOL! > In the past, the arrangement by which my wife gets the new car has allowed > us to own Honda vehicles for 8-11 years. You sound a little whipped, my man >I've been driving them since 76' > when I first bought a used Civic CVCC with manual choke, shiftable auto > and a > cool wood steering wheel. I loved that car. ! Thats were TINY, too! Peace, Polfus > > In the past, the arrangement by which my wife gets the new car has allowed > > us to own Honda vehicles for 8-11 years. > > You sound a little whipped, my man He sounds A LOT whipped. "I want new Hondas every couple of years, but the only way I was allowed to do that was if I gave the car to my wife. And she let me drive it every now and then!" I guess just going out and getting one for himself was out of the question... >> > In the past, the arrangement by which my wife gets the new car has allowed >> > us to own Honda vehicles for 8-11 years. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >I guess just going out and getting one for himself was out of the >question... Chill guys. It was my idea not to kill the car and let my wife take it for her 15 minute ride to work. The road I have to take to work is pot hole city with numerous accidents everyday and I park in a lot known for bent fenders and busted bumpers. And I strictly drive the car when we're together and on weekends. Considering what I paid, I ain't taken any chances. No way. My 96' EX is perfect for my commute and why you keep an old car around. >> Any impressions on the new Accords?

It's just the most I've ever spent on a car. My 2000 Ody was about 3 grand less. Now I need to consolidate my debt! > No, I think it was well worth it which is why I decided to buy it and I > love it. > It's just the most I've ever spent on a car.

Its just called "Polished Metal Metallic, and thats ACCORDing ( pardon the pun ) to Honda's website. > My wife and I saw one with black leather and thought it was stunning. I > was even more stunned by > the MSRP! TIA. They are even more impressive in person...pics can't capture its vibe. Peace, Polfus >> Any impressions on the new Accords?
