Hi There,

I have a 2006 EX-L (no navi or DVD) with 11.5k miles. Love it; roomy,
reasonably priced if you shop around, drives well, parks easily, good
power (esp at freeway speeds), regular gas only, great dual a/c (here
in SoCal is was 116 degrees in July and we were still comfortable).
Quibbles: mileage is not great, about 17-18 mpg mixed driving, dealer
service is expensive (about $120 for minor service), some road noise
(no worse than other Hondas; I have three right now).
