ever switched from BMW or MB to Accord? by mark_wny

I realize this is an 'out of the blue' question - but just wondered if any of you have tried the lux cars - BMW 3 series or MB C-class - and then come home to Accord.

Well, a few reviews of the Accord had mentioned that had driven mercedes or other brands compared the Accord. Mainly because of its value that it offers.

2009 Euro Accord? by bvdj84

Is it true that there will be a Euro Accord model available through Honda? I saw an ad in our newspaper and did some research. I found minimal information, but it looks like they might be offering essentially a TSX with Accord badges on it. I would be interested in this. Also, hopefully they are careful about this, make the Euro Accord cheaper than the TSX, why bother with the TSX at all. Though, it will lack a few features of the TSX, but do we need them?
 
Apparently it will come with 3 engines, a 2.0, 2.4, and a diesel. I would love to get more info on this. Though I wonder if Honda knows that this might eat the TSX's sales??

PURCHASED 2009 COUPE 6MT V6 - HAVE A PROBLEM by 3432

I recently purchased a 2009 coupe and have found after driving it for a while that it is not comfortable. I am researching gas pedal modifications, perhaps looking to see if an Acura pedal can be installed? Anyone else have comfort issues with this car? I am 170 lbs, 5'11", am open to any suggestions -

You didn't tell us what the problem was other than "not comfortable." Could you be a little more specific about why you want to trade pedals?

love my 08 Accord so far by benjaminh

I was just reading about some problems in the Hyundai Sonata forums. I was tempted by the low price of the Sonata a year and a half ago when we bought our car, but boy am I glad I got the 08 Accord instead. I love this car. Glad we splurged and special ordered the EXL navi 5 mt. It's great. Haven't had a single problem yet. The transmission is butter smooth. Best manual I've ever had. That Navi and bluetooth are fab. The voice recognition works surprisingly well. It's so comfortable. And it has such a solid feel to it. Nice handling for a rather large car, I think. Honda quality is to be commended. I was worried about buying the first year of an all-new model, but it really worked out for us.

I can't imagine car pedals would make you more comfortable in your coupe. I would experiment with different seating positions, sitting upright with your knees above your hips, or adding sheepskin seat covers if you think the seat is too hard.

I have played around with the seating positions a lot and feel like I am over-working my knee a lot, perhaps messing around with pedals is not the way to go, I am thinking about putting in some more supportive seats, perhaps some Recaro seats that have an extendable front cushion. It just feels like there is not a lot of support, and after driving, my knee hurts, or something else hurts, and it is a result of the driving position. I love the car, just think the comfort level really needs an upgrade. I'll need to get rid of it otherwise. Thanks for the input or any other input.

2009 accord airbag failed to deploy by clippership

lady ran a red light at 40 mph and slammed into the driver side of my 2009 accord ex. neither the side airbags nor the front deployed. I slammed into the side and broke two ribs. has this happened to anyone? I would think the side airbags would deploy in such a situation.

Yes, I would have thought they would go off. I am pretty sure their are side air bags. Something does not seem right with them not going off. I would look more into this.
Perhaps Honda needs to eat your medical bills. 40mph is still fast.
 
I am glad your okay though. It could be worse! People are just to wound up, and drive too fast. Even this weekend.. people following me close, passing me... Is it worth it? Please, take a step back, relax, you'll get there when you get there. Why rush all the time..Slow down, enjoy the ride. Its amazing to see.... I saw one run a red light, only to pull into their drive way down the street. Or pull into the grocery store after the passing me violently earlier..... what? are you that hungry? See, I forgot, your more important than me, just honk next time and I will pull over to let you pass me.
 
Anyway, people, slow down, enjoy life a bit okay?
