Honda Car Forum

I heard that Acura and Honda are going to be offering the Satellite Radio in
the new cars soon, but I wasnt sure if that is specific to a certain model?
I know it is US anyway. I wonder if i buy a new civic which for me will be
in 2005, and if i can ask for dealer installed satellite radio as well? It
would be good to be able to get it installed to save time and aggrevation
later on.

eh- hopefully theyll do better than waht theyve done this gen.

Well I don't have much choice. My lease runs out in June 2005, so maybe I'll
look into an accord instead.
I was thinking of the idea of getting a 5 speed this time, but in an accord
i am not sure how that would be, since it is a big card for a 5 speed.

They tell you never to buy a car the first year it comes out...I like
Honda's myself.

The 2004 Accord Sedan goes on sale today with prices for the sedan

long-term, value to its customers through added features and continuous
product improvements," said Tom Elliott, executive vice president of
