Our Second Accord

Our 2000 Honda Accord passed away in the accident. God bless the car. It protected me and my family from a monstrous SUV. We test drove several new cars and finally settled on 2012 Accord! Loving it so far. It has everything we need and more . Safety, Interior Quality, Quietness, Comfort and Gadgets on the EX-L are quite amazing.

Best one within the budget.

I don't like to do car shopping. I asked many many people's opinions and test drove a few different models. Finally I decided to buy another Accord (I already owned one). It's within my budget and I like the feelingof the test drive.

Nana's new wheels

Went from a big SUV to this. Was concerned would have adjustments. Wonderful nice size. Got the V-6 Nice pick-up and go... Love the blue tooth. The sun roof is my favorite...

LuxuryCar-HondaPrice

Wow - 2012 Honda Accord looks like a Mercedes & drives like something finer. I've never felt so luxurious. To be honest, I wanted it for the backup camera (with neck problems, the BU camera is a necessity now). I was shocked at all the rest of the luxury goodies - the 2 Driver Memory Seats & the ability to actually RAISE my seat & adjust lumbar support, makes it feel like a Custom-made Drive. Ride is fabulous and super quiet. Love the Nav system, too. But all that is icing for me. Honda reliability is my most major requirement.

Honda Pilot 2012 (From Infiniti FX35)

I use to drive Infiniti FX35. Now Family got in the picture, needed a larger car. Pilot has the room, that's all it has, room!, everything else sucks. Interior quality sucks, No Power! slowly you start noticing small things here and there that gets you! Infiniti was designed perfectly! I wish I had purchased the QX56 instead. Few things get to me, like.. - Why isn't the outside temperature in the middle of the console for everyone to see. - Why is the Glove box so small that I can't even fit the owners manual! - No Keyless Start! Really! We are in 2012, HONDA! get your style back in the game! my Infiniti was 2006 it had keyless entry and keyless start. and I mean Keyless ENTRY, I didn't have to touch anything, just push the button on the door and pull the handle! - very small sunglass holder. good luck putting large glasses! - All the materials are cheap, you can feel the difference after driving high end car, simple stuff like side door compartments are so small and they don't open/extend out when you drop something in there good luck! - And please, please! don't be fooled in MGP /ECO. If you are trying to save money on GAS forget it! If you are looking for a larger car with higher MPG, IT DOES NOT EXIST! So just go get your dream car, get the Lexus GX or Infiniti QX. Those much better cars, you'll not go wrong! And no they are not expensive to maintain, because they don't break down! - oh and the front axle CV Boots, what is that about. This cars are front wheel drives, so that means you have to maintain the CV Boot, So don't give me that this is a low maintenance car, - Also I miss the Xenon lights! The headlights suck! - Oh ya one more thing, Honda is so cheap, that they will not give the same seat for the passenger, only the driver seat can go up and down, the passenger is stuck! Passenger can only go back and forth! - Oh and the backup camera is not clear! you can barely see the detail. Again my old Fx35 had 'HD' clear crisp image. This is what I mean, it's the little things that add up, I wish I had purchased higher end car, it would have been so much worth it!. by the way I have the Touring 4x4 model! I think you got the point. Good luck!

More additional features

After a serious car accident, I was impressed about crush performance of my Honda (2005). I purchased a new one last week. Some extra features (USB, ipod dock, MP3) have been added as standard options. Accelaration is really good but you can hear the engine noise. The cloth seats look good but bit uncomfortable for tall drivers like me. However, I liked the leather seats. I certainly recommend Accord 2012.

Great car - would purchase again - no defects on delivery. I would desire more interior storage room and ease od egress for older folks. Love Honda's reliability
