I've owned 3 other cars before buying Honda.
Accord and Civic are worth the money, Accord handle curves very well and rides like its on a rail. Monorail! After owning a 2000 Lx Coupe which I drove 32 thousand miles in 1.5 yrs at German Auto Bahn speeds, I've owned a 2003 Sedan EX, 2005 Sedan Ex and now a 2007 Accord Ex and the only thing I may change it for is a 2008 EX depending on the look. This is a drivers car!

Terrible Gas Mileage
My new Honda Accord SE, V6 Automatic, is just beautiful, and I want very much to love this car. But there's something going on with the transmission that seems to 'drag'. And I get 15-17 mpg, even though I'm a very conservative driver. And I haven't even used the A/C yet!

Fun to drive
I left Honda (Accord) and tried a Ford Five Hundred. After many problems, I came back to Honda. The Accord is so much fun to drive; it hugs the road. The brakes are fabulous, the pick up is very decent. The sound system is excellent. The Honda sits lower than the Ford 500, but the Accord offers better handling (and fun). EX-L (4 cyl) is an excellent buy for the money. This is my THIRD Accord. Recommendation: Drive it. Crank up the music and take it on winding roads. It's hard to believe this is a sedan!

Watered down version of Acura TL Type-S
The 6 speed V6 Accord is very responsive, comfortable, and fun to drive. The Navigation system and Stereo are very nice as well, and easy to operate. I test drove the Acura TL Type-S 6 speed and think the Accord is a better value given that it's $10,000 less, without much compromise in quality or performance. The Accord also gets slightly better gas mileage and only requires Regular Unleaded.

Honda! The other "Ulitmate Driving Machine."
I was not in the market to buy a car. I went in for an oil change on my 01 Civic, and walked out with new keys. I bought it in November 2006. I love this car very much. I traded in my 01 Civic and I love this car. I love Honda. A lot of people are complaining about the brakes, but I love it. They are tight and very touchy. I guess I'm used to it from my other Honda. The leather seats are comfy, I love all the extras like heated seats and mirrors, as well as the auto dimmer mirror. I also love the layout of the dash and the speedometer. It tells you the outside temperature. Maintenance minder is great as well. It lets you know when to change oil, etc. It also has homelink which I like. It controls up to 3 garage doors or gates. Interior night-light takes getting used to. Lots of compartments to store as well as cup holders in each door. Floor AC vents under front seats for passengers to enjoy. The XM is great, but wish for a more trial period over 3 months. The V6 really gets up there. I have fun passing everybody on the road. I've gotten a ticket though when I first bought the car. Wasn't used to that V6 yet. My car doesn't pull to the right as everyone else has proclaimed. At 244HP, my car is faster than my mothers C230 Benz. It also handles, and out performs it IMO. All in all, I love Honda's and am very satisfied with it. One issue I did have was within the 1st week of buying it, I had to bring it in for service because the fuel cap light wouldn't go off.

Reliable, Affordable Luxury
I leased my new 2007, Honda Accord EX-L, 2.4 liter, 4-cylinder with a 5 speed automatic in January 2007 and so far it is everything I expected and more. As a college senior, I decided it was time to get into my first new car. What lured me to the Accord was the fact that it offers so many features at the $25,000 MSRP. A peppy engine, attractive styling and loads of luxury make for an attractive package. I was skeptical at first of moving into a 166hp 4-cylinder from the 200hp V-6 in my previous car. A test drive in the 3228 pound Accord proved that the four would be plenty powerful for real world driving. At this point, with about 1000 miles on the car, I am getting about 26.5 miles per gallon with mixed highway and city driving. The handling is tight and accurate and a stiffer than expected suspension adds to the sporty feel which I enjoy. The four cylinder EX-L comes with 16 inch alloy wheels, body colored door-handles, mirrors and side sills, power moon roof and LED tail lights. The doors open and close smoothly and give a convincing thud proving their rigidity. Inside, the ergonomics and materials are up to par. Everything is at your fingertips from the heated, power seat controls to the audio and climate controls. The seats have high, firm bolsters all around and their height provides a commanding view of the road. My biggest complaint concerns rear visibility. The trunk is invisible from the inside making parking a guessing game, and there is an oversized blind spot thanks to large D-pillars. Otherwise, the interior is attractive and classy. The EX-L comes with a leather trimmed cabin, heated seats, a 6-disc 120-watt six speaker stereo system with satellite radio, dual-zone automatic climate control as well as many other convenience features. Safety wise, the car has front side airbags as well as side curtain airbags, ABS and electronic brake distribution. The option of Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control is reserved for the V-6 models. I am confident the car will hold up both mechanically and physically as Honda has a rock-solid reputation. Consider the newly redesigned Camry and Altima along with the Accord, but I think you will find the Accord offers the most features for the money. The Accord EX-L is a winner for arriving with confidence, style and a luxury at a fair price.

Great car, Great Reliability
This is my second Accord. I had and '04, and traded-in for an '07. I have the EX-L, 4 cylinder, and it has excellent power, and yet the gas mileage is superb. I average 26 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway. The handling is superb, and based on my '04, you can't beat the reliability. XM Radio on the EX-L model is great!

Outstanding!
This is my 4th Honda since my first in '78, and my 1st Accord, and I have to say that they just keep getting better every year. (I still own my '99 Civic) The 2.4 L 4 cyl engine has unexpected power but still gets excellent mileage for the size of the car, and as a PZEV, imparts a minimal impact on the environment. I'm averaging over 30 MPG, so I can not complain. I find absolutely nothing that I dislike about this car. I'd get another in a heartbeat. As soon as my wife's Ford Focus dies, it going to be another Honda for us.
