2009 Honda Accord

Replying to: elroy5 (Sep 14, 2008 8:56 am)

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,

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.

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.

Get into a high horsepower rear wheel drive car and you will never drive a front drive again.
 
Unless you need a back seat that can carry adult-size people (I'm 6'5"), don't want the pricey service costs for a premium-make car, or the higher insurance rates that typically go with a high-performance car, or the....
 
I'm glad you like your ride (I love the looks), but maybe there should be a thread created to comparing these cars instead of doing so here. I'd be happy to participate there!

I bought an EX-L, but have a family so appreciate the room of the Accord.
 
But, the fun factor of the G35 is unreal!!! That car put a huge smile on my face, so I know where kingpcgeek is coming from. It is just such a blast to drive.
 
The only part I'd disagree with is the cost. We can all argue how much more gas or things like maintenance will be between the cars, but there is one cost that is hidden.
 
I just won't get too many speeding tickets in my Accord. With the Infiniti, however, I'd have a very difficult time resisting temptation. Still, I'd have a smile on my face when the officer asked for my signature.
