Just figured I'd post a few pics of the new family hauler. It's definitely no R, but it is both extremely practical and comfortable especially on long drives. The car also handles surprisingly well for its purpose! I realize I don't have to give my endorsement on this car due to all of the awards it has received, but I strongly recommend it to anyone who needs a practical, roomy car.

BTW, we bought it at Flow and had a great experience doing so. Looks like they may be doing things a bit differently now. (For the ITR-NC folks )

 

I like the silver; it was my second choice when I bought my family hauler

 

I like it a lot...that is what I wanted for the daily rider, but my girl really wanted an SUV...so that is what I ended up getting...of course they always win.

 

It this an Accord? Looks completely different compared to the European version.....

 

Wow! Didn't know you could still get a manual Accord! Too bad you got a boring color, though

 

nice... it's a 5-speed, eh? I would've bout an automatic if it's a family boat.

 

Well, Jason and Tammy don't so much have a "family" yet (doubt the cat will ever get close to that leather, right Jason??). And manual Accords are surprisingly fun to drive. Good gearbox in those cars...

 

hey be careful you might get pulled over in that car. someone stuck black tape over your license plate.

 

hehe, you guys are too much!

Pat~ the cat will never see that leather It's funny, but we actually looked for a black one at first. The silver is quite nice though, and it's neutral which doesn't attract attention! Yeah, that's the only negative I have on Flow, they won't "dealer trade" for you. Meaning, they won't look for a certain color, model, etc for a customer.

Cosworth~ as Pat said, the car is surprisingly fun to drive with a stick.

Jason... Tam... starting a family already??? Wow!

Congrats on the new car.

 

Those leather seats look pretty comfy.
Our family hauler might be going bye-bye soon. We have a 2k Jetta and it's just not enough room. Will have to go the SUV route. Used this time though. Maybe a 95 or so Blazer..............

James

 

Not quite yet! Maybe in a few years...

 

James - DO NOT GET A BLAZER!!! I know someone who bought a used one and it gave them nothing but problems and cost them a boatload of money. If you are looking to get an American SUV get a 96+ Explorer. My mom had one before the Rustang and it was a decent car.

Jason - I guess I'll be the first to ask, what kinda mods do you have planned for the Accord? It's obviously a 4-cylinder since it has the stick. So what do you have in store for it?

BTW I'm honored that you kept the "beefcake" in your sig. Now other people are calling you the Big Beefcake and I started it all!

Damn, the shifter on that thing looks way too long.
Nice choice though for a family hauler. Are you gonna mod it?

 

Nice car man, my moms got the same color. 2001 Accord Ex V6 with leather. I wish it came with manual tranny though

 

I agree....got a 99 EXv6 sedan back in october of 98. very nice car without question. I might have choose a few others over it...but i stuck with honda and its been great. comfy, powerful and very roomy. the v6 has *****. all 2.4 4cyl at one point were made in japan..not sure about now. my v6 is american made(sadly). I can't complain...its been a great family car.

 

Jeff:

Nice pics of the Accord man. I like the Accord too, it can actually take bumps, and has A/C too....unlike my Integra...

silver and White are the Hottest colors for that car

 

Can you still get white Accords with the blue interior? That's what my '93 was, white over blue cloth. LOVED that car. I really shouldn't have traded it in

 

Pat~

I'm pretty sure the Accord with a white exterior is offered only with tan or white interior now. As far as mods, I have to keep quite in case the future wife sees this, so... absolutely not! No mods, never...heh heh

 

family car owners......he,he.

just buy a minivan.

 

sold my 2.5 turbo dodge caravan a long time ago..lol

 

Future plans for mom's Accord are simple, an AEM or Injen Intake and an Apexi World Sport Dual exhaust

We were also considering an Odyssey and the CRV, but the Accord seemed the sportier of the three. I tried to push for the WRX Sedan 5-speed, but my mom blatantly refused.....she probably knew what I was up to hehehehe

A V6....I know of a certain company that's doing prototype work on a supercharger kit...someone that also produces a kit for the NSX and the S2000...looks nice.

 

You must be talking about Comptech.

 

I'd say you're right.
