Replying to: bvdj84 (Feb 20, 2009 7:43 am) The refinement of the IS250 is far higher. Just look at the interior touches and materials quality. The IS250 also feels very "planted" when driving, whereas the Accord tends to bounce and bound a little bit over uneven roads. The IS is also incredibly quiet when driving. That's what sets it apart from the Accord. Replies to this message: bvdj84 (Feb 26, 2009 3:10 pm) bmlexus (Feb 27, 2009 3:09 pm) elroy5 (Feb 27, 2009 3:52 pm)

Replying to: madpistol (Feb 26, 2009 11:22 am) I do see your points. They are true. I think the Accord tries to be everything, not just 1 thing. They can pull off a well rounded package though for the money. Replies to this message: bmlexus (Feb 27, 2009 3:09 pm) elroy5 (Feb 27, 2009 3:52 pm)

Replying to: madpistol (Feb 17, 2009 7:04 pm) I can vouch for what you said. I've test driven a Lexus IS 250 and an '08 Accord EX-L V6, and The only way that the Accord wins is in space and V6 power. The Lexus is a much better car in fit and finish, driving dynamics, features, and style (subjective). There's a reason the Lexus costs more.   Hello,   After testing both cars which 1 did you decide to buy? Replies to this message: madpistol (Mar 08, 2009 10:07 pm) Hondafan49 (Mar 09, 2009 11:14 am)

Replying to: bmlexus (Feb 27, 2009 3:09 pm) The Accord would win, for me, on two counts. Interior room, and V6. Very important attributes.

Replying to: bmlexus (Feb 27, 2009 3:05 pm) Hello,    After testing both cars which 1 did you decide to buy?   Neither. I was test driving the Accord against an Altima (I bought the Altima), and my Mom owns a 2009 IS 250.   If you're a big guy, you're going to like the Accord's space. The IS 250 is a small car. I probably couldn't live with it on trips in excess of 200 miles. However, the IS 250 is the more luxurious car; Memory seats, 6-speed auto-transmission w/ manual mode, heated/ventilated-cooled seats, Xenon headlamps, LED taillamps, and other interior conveniences/accents are NOT available on the Accord. I also stand by my opinion that the IS 250 is extremely planted and refined in how it drives. The car feels very tight at all ends; no rattles or extraneous noises. The engine is also extremely quiet and smooth. It has a nice sound at high-revs as well.   They are two completely cars for completely different markets, but the IS 250 is a decidedly higher quality car. There's no comparison IMO.

Replying to: madpistol (Mar 08, 2009 10:07 pm) I went with the Lexus because of the luxury...they are two different cars but the Honda is less expensive and bigger and more powerful...I don't regret my choice, but I think the Honda Accord is great value
