Looking for a new car, and due to circumstances, coupes are off the list. I like the V6 Accord with manual tranny, but I'm concerned about the handling and braking. My wife drives, shall we say, aggressively. She's used to cars with good handling and VERY responsive braking.

Example: when searching for our current car (RSX-Type S) she decided she was O.K. saving money, and so test drove a Civic EX. After a quick test drive, she pulled over and refused to drive any more cars for the day. According to her the braking, acceleration, and handling were all so bad she was frightened to drive it (in her words" It doesn't go, it doesn't stop, and it hates to turn.".)

edit: Screwed up poll.... sorry

it drives and handles very well IMO. She might want the HFP suspension to help her out some.
I think it would be a good addition to your driveway

 

I can't find the post but there was one pretty recent comparing the 6 and 4 cylinder accords which might go into some decent detail about how it is. It seemed people recommended the 6 over the 4. Search for it and see if you can get something good out of it.
There you go:
