Default Re: Has anyone had an Accord 4cyl 2005+ with a manual transmission?

Hey Alfred,

Oh my gosh, these cars are sweet. Yes, buy a Accord, and get the 4 Cyl
i-vtec manual, your thank me. These cars are very fast, get better gas
mileage than the v6 for sure, and the repairs are much less on the
manual then they are on the autos.

Best car I ever bought, was my Accord!
