Honda Car Forum

from present honda owners?

I've owned 3 Hondas (two ACCORDS) and 3 Acuras (just got an 07 CRV EXL). Had zero problems with all of them, and they handle great and get great gas mileage. I highly recommend HOnda/Acura. I also like Mazdas, but they aren't built quite as well, IMHO.

The Honda accord has been on Car and drivers "10 best" list 21 of the past 25 years. And something like the past 18 years in a row. If you are looking at a car in that catagory, you can't do any better.

I've had 3 Hondas. 1 Accord, 2 Civics. They last, are cheap to fix when the time comes, and are fun to drive. They keep their resale value very well. I don't think Ill be switching from them any time soon.

We just got a Honda Pilot and love it. It is a solid car and handles very well. Several years ago we had an accord and it was a good car as well. When shopping for a new car, I drove 6 different cars. The Honda was one of the most solid cars we looked at. Compared to the American cars, everything seems to be of a higher quality too and better construction.

Are you looking for a Coupe or Sedan? I owned two 2006 Honda Accord Sedan SE. One in Auto and one in Manual. They're both great cars. Make sure you keep them for a long time though. Their resale value is very good relative to other brands. I drove a 4cyl model so I might not be able to relate quite as well to the 6 cylinder. Anyhow, I did feel a difference between my auto and my manual. The Auto seemed really tame and comfy. I barely even noticed gear changes. It even has technology to detect that you're driving uphill or downhill to avoid unnecessary upshifts or downshits. The manual felt as fast as a v6 car from another brand. In fact, I was even able to take on a friend's Mazda 6 with no trouble at all (sorry Mazda owners). Anyways, you don't really buy an Accord to race (or maybe if you get a v6) but it is an exceptional car all around. It looks beautiful and is beautiful. It feels extremely comfortable and it is extremely comfortable. Remember, it is Honda's luxury car after all. Even in the b1tch seat (the middle seat in the back) you feel you have enough space. And it has 5 stars rating for safety. It has great handling for a FWD car too. The only reason why I don't own those cars anymore is because my heart made a call for something faster and more ferocious: Honda S2000. And see, the Accords left such an impression on me that I chose the S2K over a 350Z or RX-8. And because it's a better car too. ;-)

The Honda Accord, especially the V6 EXL, is a phenomenal vehicle. You could not be looking at a better car. If you have any specific questions about the vehicle please dont hesitate to email me. ThanksSteven WeisWilliams HondaTraverse City, MIsteven_weis2@yahoo.com

Id seriosuly look into the Ford Fusion. Great Styling, Great Handlling. Very Safe (In fact yahoo just had a write up about it being very safe). Doesnt hurt to give it a look. Its very reiliable according to the big magazine names
