Yes, I too wished they had offered the HID lights, or atleast a the type of lights the accord coupe has. The push start would be really cool, but would simply be a copy cat of everyone else. Not a big deal in my book. I would rather have a manual shift mode for the automatic as a standard feature, that to me would be very nice to have. I am not sure it would be more of an expense since the acura line has had it for quite awhile. Now isnt a big deal, and wouldn't keep me from not buying the car, but it would certainly add more appeal.
I have noticed people are buying more of the loaded 08 Accords more so than the lower trimmed models. Or atleast getting the EX/EX-L 4cyl. I too, would probably get the loaded 4cyl EX-L. Although, I have my eye on a new TSX for in about a year to lease.

2009 Honda Accord LX-P or EX?

I can afford a 2009 Honda Accord up to trim EX, but am sure if the EX is worthier than LX-P.
The EX has moon roof, 6-CD changer, 17" wheels in stead of 16" in LX-P, and a bit more horsepower than LX-P. The price is about $1,700 different.
In terms of the worth of those additional features and the value both hold in next 4-5 years, which one would be better? This will be my first car in the US, So, I was hoping to make a right decision on it.
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks,

I nor anyone else can tell you which car is right for you. IMO the EX is worth the extra cost. When I bought my first Accord, in 91, I was reluctant to buy the EX, because I was afraid the moonroof would leak later on, but I bought the EX mainly because of the extra power, and added features. I grew to love the moonroof, and never had a problem with it leaking for 12 years (it's not made like the old sunroofs of the past, and will not leak). I know in the past even things like cloth, for the seats and door trim, were upgraded from the LX to EX trims, including better floor mats. Go over the equipment list for each model. Only you can decide if the extra features and improved materials are worth the extra cost to you. The EX will cost more now, but will also be worth more at resale time. Good luck with your decision, and happy Hondaing.

Could you or anyone please tell me if the EX (not EX-L) has separated temp. control for driver and front passenger?
Is this picture in LX-P or EX? http://cars.about.com/od/honda/ig/2008-Honda-Accord-photos/2008-Honda-Accord-LX-- interior.htm
Yesterday I test drove the LX-P coz the dealer did not have an EX for me. I did not quite like the console and dash of the LX-P. But if the EX has the same dash LX-P rather than the EX-L, I would have to make up my mind again. 
I could not find the real pictures of EX and LX-P interior, therefore still have no idea what the EX looks like.
Thanks,

The EX with cloth interior has the same climate controls that the LX and LX-P have, meaning single-zone manual controls. Leather models are the ones with Dual Automatic Climate Control.
I'd suggest using Honda's own website for information.

Thanks, the graduate. I looked at the Honda website before asking, but what I found on the site is only the picture of EX-L interior. I wanted to see the difference between LX-P and EX, not EX-L.
This is the advantage of buying a car in the mid-level of its Trims. You'll never see the real picture of the trim level you are looking for.

"I looked at the Honda website before asking, but what I found on the site is only the picture of EX-L interior. I wanted to see the difference between LX-P and EX, not EX-L. "
Go to Honda's website, select the Accord, then "specifications". You'll then get a side-by-side comparison of every feature and option sorted by trim level. That way you can easily see what you get when going from LXP to EX trims.

Sorry, I should've specified; that's exactly what I'm talking about.

You said sedan right? Reason I ask is because I think the Maxima "sedans" are sportier than the Accord "sedans. If you were going by looks alone, I'de say the Maxima. But I read you want safety, value and a smooth ride. The 09 accords incorporate side curtain air bags and rate 5 star safety in four of five safety categories, which beats the Maxima. Honda also beats Nissan's resale value. As far as ride, it's like buying stereo speakers, they sound different to everyone else, so take them both for a test drive. You're also a current Honda owner so you should be a fan of their excellent reliability, fit and finish. 4 bangers are not for everyone. I think once you drive the six in the Honda you'll make up you mind immediately. Good luck.

Can anyone tell me which month I could possibly get a deal on a 2009 sedan EXL V6? I am looking to purchase in about 5 months and just wondering if I should expect a salesperson to even offer me a decent deal. By the way I am still seeking some honda dealership advice for the Columbia, South Carolina area.
