First honda- '11 Accord
Bit of background. I had been driving cheap 90s saturns for the last 4 years. I learned alot from working on them but couldnt stand the constant failures of parts due to age. So i finally bit the bullet and financed a 2011 Accord LX.
This car is a 5 speed manual and my very first one. So im still learning. I have some issue with pulling off from first smoothly, i believe i am just releasing the clutch too fast or not slipping it enough, as i stall on hills easy. Hoping i can figure it out before the clutch burns or something.
It has a few issues, PO smashed the side mirror on something so i need to replace it, it has rusty thumping brakes, and i have a pretty jarring vibration when accelerating hard and acceleration at highway speed (75-80 its at the worst)
But overall the car seems quite solid. I like how it feels nimble despite being 800 lbs more than my saturns and its fun to drive. Looking forward to learning some more on here.
