Default Well after 3 months of my new Ap2....

im regretfully trading it in for an 08 EX-L V6 Accord. My commute is 140 miles a day and my 2 jsut became my primary car as my beater took a **** on me. The accord is more practical for me especially during winter months. It's been fun fellas.

you getting the accord coupe or sedan? i dont really like the way it looks..if you're getting the coupe, id say look at the altima coupe instead. or better yet, new g37 coupe! sedan-wise, look at the new G35 sedan. the new accord reminds me of a Hyundai when i look at it

I'm going to have to agree with this n00b. I am not a big fan of the new Accords. I saw a coupe the other day, and even though I didn't think it looked too bad on paper, I couldn't not get over how bad it looked in real life.

I'd go with a Civic Si (sedan) or wait for the new TSX to hit.

Having owned the car for only 3 months you're going to be so upside down in depreciation loss of value that it'd be cheaper to get another beater.

I got a 1991 Civic hatch, paid $1500 and gets nearly 40mph city and hwy. With the amount of $ I save in fuel cost as it is now, the car has paid for itself already in less than a year with the amount of $ I save by NOT driving the S2000 everyday!

Hmmm, just because you dumped at least $25k towards the down payment does not mean that you didn't just eat a serious loss in value.

i don't know what everyone's complaints are.....the new accord coupe ex-l v6 is sick...but the sedans remind me of the bastard child of a tl/tsx

factory lip kit is gross, but give it time.......throw some nice wheels on there, a good drop, and wait for a better lip kit, but new accord coupe is probably my next pick up as well
