Replying to: blackexv6 (May 27, 2008 1:40 pm) I also have a 2004 Accord 4 cyl EX and can say with no doubt that it's much noisier than my 99 V6. That 99 was the best car I ever owned but a 130k miles on it, I wanted to chnage. Thanks again, and will test out the Accord again in another 6 months. I'm really hoping it's ok.... I really wanted one on this round. As for other cars, I did own a Pontiac Grand Prix about 4 years ago; decent car (while still had 50k miles b4 I sold it) but the depreciation was brutal compared to the fantastic honda. Thanks again for your comments! |

Replying to: markher (May 28, 2008 3:41 am)  Seriously, as has been stated in this thread...drive and decide what YOU like or dont like about it. Aspects of the car that bother one poster may not bother you. Good luck! |

Replying to: Sporin (May 27, 2008 4:44 pm) I went to the dealer on Monday, the price difference between the LX and the LX-P was just shy of $900 at that dealership, and I decided to finance the car at 0.9% for 36 months. I said to myself, what the heck. So I spoiled myself a little and took delivery of an LX-P.  I have been driving the LX-P for the past 2 days, and I can honestly say that this is one FINE car. I just LOVE it. The handling is great, plenty of power for a 4 cylinder. Now I just need to figure out what to do with all those hidden storage compartments.  As to the road noise, I don't know, I find it very tolerable. I usually have the radio on during my commute, haven't really been bothered by any road noise. |

Well, I finally got to drive an EX-L I4 Coupe yesterday and have the following observations: 1) I stand 6'1" and have a long torso/short legs (32" inseam). I fit comfortably with the power seat all the way down and seatback raked upright as is my preference, although there was little headroom to spare (I'd probably get bonked in the head if I drove over a speed bump at speed accidentally). The leather seats were soft and comfy; I was not bothered by any stray lumps in the seatback but the drive was admittedly short (10 mins.?) as the weather was lousy. 2) The 190HP I4 is surprisingly strong (this coming from a guy used to driving a Beetle TDI with 90HP diesel engine). I would be very happy with it, especially considering today's fuel prices. 3) Superb handling and turning radius. We did a tight U-turn at one point and it was a piece of cake. However, the ride was more harsh than I expected. Perhaps the sedan is a bit more supple? 4) I thought I'd like the ivory interior (this was a white/ivory model) but some of the dash plastic looked cheap. Perhaps the black interior looks "richer"? I really wish they'd include wood trim with the ivory interior as is the case with the sedan - the aluminum trim clashes with the ivory IMHO. 5) The dual A/C was a nice feature. When I told my wife of this, she looked at me and said "This is an ACCORD. Why would you need this in an Accord? How BIG is this car, anyway!?" 6) Salesman loved fooling around with the XM radio. Great sounding stereo, even when playing Tammy Wynette... 7) Since it was raining, I didn't open the trunk. That's a real concern, as I play bass guitar and need to be able to load a 2x10 cab and other gear and would prefer doing so without folding down the rear seat all the time. Overall, a great ride but I'm not sure it's for me. I need to take another, closer look at the coupe and test drive a sedan as well to make that determination. |
