Four thousand miles in 8 months and short trips only? She's draining the battery everytime she drives it. Tell her she needs to drive it for farther distances when she drives it, and to take a walk (if possible) when she needs to go for those short jaunts. Her short trips aren't giving the alternator enough time to replenish the charge she uses just starting the car and running the accessories.

Opinions on NAV system by vaterp

Hi all, I'm a heavy user of a tomtom portable gps unit that I've been rather happy with. I find myself on the market for a new car now and the accord has made the final round .
 
Anyway, I've sat in and played with the integrated nav system a bit and I just can't decide. I love the functionality of a GPS, and I think i'd really like the integration to the car, but I just cant decide if its worth 2 grand for it, when the standalone ones are soooo much cheaper and work pretty good.
 
So my question to any nav owners out there, is how do they like their integrated nav system? I'd especially love to hear from anyone that has used both the integrated unit and a 3rd party one (garmin or tomtom for instance) - and aside from the nicety of integration -- how does the functionality compare?
 
Thanks !

My mom previously owned a 98 accord, bought new, with less than 70,000 miles. She gave it to my daughter (her granddaughter) when she purchased the new accord. The battery was replaced once. She is in her 80's, in good health, still bowls but for grocery shopping she needs to go by car. (it is about 4 miles to the store). She will not drive when it gets dark and basically is starting to lose interest in driving.

There is an Accord Navi forum and a generic navi forum here where you will find lots of opinions. I love the Honda system in my 06 Accord but don't want to repeat myself here... I've said it all before in those other forums.

To start the new model year off the 09 accord has already racked up 5 official complaints on NHTSA.GOV. 4 out of the 5 or 80% are complaints about flickering headlights. Good luck honda the word is spreading..we are all eagerly awaiting the recall notice.

Exactly, just fix the problem, make the customer happy. It would not be that expensive to fix those who that the problem, if they can come up with the source of the problem. You would think they would by now, considering the Accord has done this for years. What are they afraid of, cars have recalls all the time, doesn't mean a bad thing, just a recognized correction. Some have more than others, but just fix it already.

exterior paint by iwantone

Does Honda and Acura use the same paint on their cars ? I noticed that some of the color trims are the same, so I was wondering is it the same paint. Is the polished metal metallic the same color on both cars?

I would imagine they use the same colors. I have noticed the same thing, with the same color names on both brands. Just a few added colors overall depending on the brand/model of the car.

Wow, I've heard so much about this that it is good to finally see the severity that you're talking about.
 
I'll be really honest here... that doesn't strike me as much of an issue. I can't recall driving a vehicle (except a family friend's Silverado 2500 Duramax Diesel) that didn't do that, including both my 1996 Accord and 2006 Accord, as well as my grandmother's 2002 Accord which I drive regularly (at least once a week). They have all done this, and continue to do so. No problems because of it (after a combined 320,000 miles on those three cars).
 
It's sort of the same thing a house does when the A/C kicks on. Not a drastic flickering.
