#315 of 317 OVER RATED by areohbee43

What can I say. I own a 2009 Accord. my first and last Honda. What a joke people!! Are you serious? This car was bought new in 2009 and it's the worst car I've ever owned. I don't understand all the hype. Lies!! Lies!! Lies!!
What's up with this car anyway? Took it to the dealer shortly after purchase and they confirmed the car is perfect and running they way it is supposed to. What a disappointment!
Poor engine performance (4 cylinder) poor fuel economy, poor handling, sloppy and unsteady in the corners; and a nightmare to drive in the snow!! The transmission is a helpless piece of junk that is never in the correct gear. On a secondary road the car hunts for the right gear for miles and never manages to find the correct one. How can people say this is such a great car?? I get my doors blown off by some VERY cheap cars. It accelerates like a Moped pulling a dump truck. Over priced and over rated!! I'd love to hear some comments about this.

Which 4 cyl? What type of terrain & length of trips? Mine handles great in the snow, I' ve got the 6 cyl with 17" -205-50 Michelin and consider this car the best I've driven in the snow with stock all season tires. Based on your comments you have the auto tranny as do I and admittedly it is several years behind what most other mfg's are offering. Having said that I don't experience much hunting and feel the transmission is adequate , nothing more. Did you do much of a test drive before you bought it?
It's a car, nothing more. Not something to be revered as some Honda extremists do. Some people when talking about their Honda's or Apple computers get all glassy eyed and trance-like, not to mention very defensive about their choices. When the time comes to replace my 2010 EX-L V6 I'll consider many different brands including Honda and make the choice that's best for me.

I recently totaled my 2000 Accord and looking to replace it with a 2011 EX 4 door with a manual transmission. Anything to look out for with this generation on Accords?
 
Thanks
