Replying to: jfergus (Jul 28, 2005 9:37 am) Well, I "pulled the trigger" yesterday and leased a a EX sedan 4 cycl auto cloth for 36 months. The price was right and I don't want to wait anymore. I am sure the '06 model will have better features. But I don't think the dealers would drop $3K off MSRP for a long time until the next year end clearance. Anyway, the first 10 miles driving home was pleasant; except I notice that the 4 cycl does not accelerate very fast from a dead stop. But once it gets going, it's fine. I am used to a 6 cycl car which pulls strongly, so this is a small adjustment I need to make. |

| Graphite was my first color choice when I decided to trade my EX-L automatic for a EX-L 5-speed manual. We went to the dealer for the graphite but it was being sold by the time my husband got there. The only other EX-L 5-speeds they had were white, gold, and red. Ended up with the Redondo Red because we wanted the gray interior. I am happy with the red but we still prefer the looks of the first 04 we had in silver. | |

I was on vacation in New Jersey last week and unexpectedly purchased a new motorcycle. In order to get it home I bought a hitch at U-haul and towed it home on an open trailer. The owners manual lists the maximum tow capacity of the Accord 4cyl at 1,000 pounds. The maximum rating on the hitch is 2,000. The trailer/motorcycle combination was about 1,800. They guy who put the hitch on had concerns over the mounting points for the hitch (mostly the four bolts which attach directly to the trunk floor) and made me sign a release stating he was not responsible. Towed it a total of 600 miles to North Carolina, mostly highway miles on 95/85. Took a lot of clutch to get moving but once I had momentum on my side it did really well. I drove at a maximum speed of about 55mph in 4th gear (did not use 5th at all). The car did not struggle and the engine did not lug. The brakes did just fine. Averaged about 23 mpg while towing. I changed the oil and the transmission fluid when I got back and the car is driving just fine now. Other than premature clutch wear I don't think there will be any long term effects. Now I also have the hitch for our bicycle rack. Just though those who are considering a tow hitch or hauling with their Accords might be interested.

Replying to: biker4 (Aug 01, 2005 6:13 am) I was very careful to keep a lot of space between me and the car in front of me so as to avoid excessive braking. If I needed to make an emergency stop or maneuver I would have been screwed! |

Greetings... I dont much care for the solid red tail lights in my 05. Car has about 10k on it, lenses are in perfect condition. Anyone interested in a straight-up swap? I am looking for the split color lenses from the 03 or 04. They bolt right in. We can agree on a day to overnight the lenses to each other so we are not left without lights for very long. Whatever works for you. I can provide pix, expect the same in return. Thanks -scr
