You are in the Honda Accord Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| I love my Honda's. We own 3 in our family and are looking into the CRV. What do you all think about this cute little thing? | |
I forgot to mention. We are the proud owners of 3 Honda's so far. My husband gets around for cheap commute in our 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback. This was the first little car our oldest daugher owned until she upgraded to a 1997 Honda Accord EX-v-6. I drive the 1996 Honda Accord Lx. We are looking into a 2000-2002 Honda Accord or possibly a Honda CRV. That is why I asked about the CRV. We tried it out and it was nice but a little noisy. We also tried out the Subaru Legacy. What do you all think??? Thanks

| a 99 EX sedan and a 2001 EX V6 coupe. We loved both of them. Loved the 99 more just because it was a manual though. We looked at the CR-V when we found out we were having our little one in 2003 but we ended up with a 2004 Accord because my husband could not fit in the CR-V comfortably. | |
| considered the CRV, but i found the seating not as comfortable as the Accords. I also found it noisy, and prefered the Accords interior. | |

Although we have had out new 05 since late spring, my wife and I did our first long trip this past weekend. We left the northwest suburbs or Chicago and travelled to Cleveland to catch Def Leppard & Bryan Adams in concert. Anyhow - we left Friday evening, and after dealing with a little bit of traffic getting to the Indiana Toll Road, we finally got the speed up and cruised all the way to Cleveland at about 77mph running the A/C. Made the whole trip (420some miles) on one tank at 33mpg and drove it straight though, stopping only a couple times for food and bathrooms. Car was flawless the entire ride, smooth, quiet and comfortable. The quietness at speed was very key and impressive - road/wind/engine noise has been a pet peeve of mine in smaller cars for a long time. About 3/4ths through the ride the underside of my left leg began to get sore from the edge of the seat... I had tried adjusting the angle of the seat (power), but couldn't seem to get it right unless I was falling forward out of the seat. I finally just resorted to adjusting myself more frequently in the seat and all was well from there. That would have to be my only complaint about the car at all on this trip. The concert was just a few miles outside of Cleveland on Saturday night, so no major driving then, but yesterday we drove back to Chicago from Cleveland and again saw similar results in mileage and an equally nice ride. This is the first long trip I have taken in some time where the noise/feel/ride of the car didn't make me tired - even on Friday night after a full day's worth of work, I was fine the entire drive. In the past, even with my Lincoln Continental, I would wake up the next day after a long trip and feel like crap... sore, stiff, whatever... this morning I woke up early for some reason and am typing this now and feel great. Just thought I would give my first report on a highway ride. I still want to change the tires at some point, and for city driving I would like to soften the ride... but on the highway, this was a wonderful ride. A+ |

to hear you had a good ride in your Accord. I took fairly long trip with my 05 EX V6. I went from New York to Toronto, found it very comfortable. I did that same trip with my Corolla and i found after 2 hours in the Corolla, my back and neck would start feeling sore. I didn't experience that same problem in the Accord. Merging on the highway with the V6 was effortless, and smooth. I would give it an A+ to

Got my 2005 Accord EX V6. Great car, BUT... The manual (which is NOT the most intelligent, I must say) does not at all explain what's the function of this element (page 117).... It is in the Climate Control section, but does not explain anything about it or why is it there. ALSO, page 81, why would you want to push the LOCK button on your remote transmitter twice whithin 5 seconds (and hear the super loud honk), so that "to varify that the security system has set."??? What is that "security system" exactly, and what if I just push the button once to lock, would the "security system" fail to work??

Replying to: mamamia2 (Aug 09, 2005 5:28 pm) You don't need to push the button twice to lock the can and turn on the security system. I guess it's just a way for some that want a way to verify that the alarm is set. What does the security system do, well I thought the manual explained it? It's basically an anti-theft system that monitors the locked car and is triggered if a door, trunk or hood is opened when the car is locked. If you want to test the system, roll down a window and lock the car. Now reach in the window and manually unlock the door by pulling up the knob and open the door. The alarm should go off. Mine does if I do that. Press the unlock button on your key to shut off the alarm. Mrbill |
