Made Car & Driver's and Motor Trend's top 10.

Except they always rate the LX versions...aarrggg.

Anyways...I love my car more and more.

Again, I got a black one with tan interior, EX version, 4cyl. 190hp engine.

The ONLY thing I wish it had was a better base stereo in this model
offering.

Peace,
Polfus

Thanks.

I got my black automatic 2008 Accord EX sedan w/tan interior w/wood grain
accents 4 days after it was released.

Don't make me type it out...

I have the 2008 Accord EX-L Automatic Silver with Black leather interior
with mudguards, trunk tray and wheel locks. I'm not sure about the EX
stereo, but in the EX-L the stereo is AM/FM/XM with 270 watts, 6 disc
changer and 7 speakers including a seperatly controlled Subwoofer. The base
is decent.

Mines got the lesser of the two stereos, and I wish it would have been an
option to get the nicer stereo on the EX model.

About all I can do is change the speakers, and thats most likely just the
rear ones 'cause I can't do the dismantle the door thing.

My dealer charged $77.00 for the wheel locks installed.

Well you can wait until after 3 years for the warrenty to expire and upgrade
the stereo.

wheel locks are completely ineffective.

Those won't work to remove wheel locks though. They have the odd thread to
go OVER stripped thread on regular lugs, not to go inside the key opening of
the wheel locks, but it was a good thought. :)

oh yes they will!

no, simply hammer on, and twist - a thief doesn't care about preserving
the lovely exterior chrome finish your locks have.  roadside rescue
truck carries these things as they'll remove anything, regardless of the
driver that's lost or forgotten their key.
