I have been a loyal Honda owner for many years, always drove the Civic. In 2008 I fell in love with the new Accord Coupe and traded in my 1 yr old Civic to step up. That was a mistake. I just had to replace my rear brakes, my 4th pair in 3 years. I had to get the engine worked on because it would make a rattling sound every morning when I would start the car. The center console "Leather" is coming apart & the leather seats look stained from my clothes. Overall I am very disappointed.
Awesome alternative to BMW/Audi

Having been a Honda owner for 10yrs I wanted a change but didn't want to put up with the excessive cost of ownership of the Euro entry-luxe cars. I was going to replace my 4door Accord with the gorgeous Lexus IS350 but found this beauty on the lot and on the very first drive was sold. So much different than the 4door, super sporty, great looks and that engine, revs upto 8000rpm and begs to be driven hard. IMHO this is the only real life alternative to the mustang if you're looking for a sporty coupe with an eye towards your wallet and the resale value when you're ready for something new.
Ok for 10 years

It is a great car for 10 years.. but small things like the leather on the center console and driver side arm rest falling apart. The headliner started falling at 10 years. The driver side motor for the hot/cold air director failed. The driver side rear window rubber molding fell apart. The fake chrome plastic front grill trim bubbled up. But for 10 years the car performed great with no major problems at all. Update. Now the transmission has an issue shifting at 25mph and 35mph. Only while driving slow, the transmission sort of stutters briefly before shifting. Only have 95000 miles on the car and has been regularly serviced. Transmission still stutters and rubber continues to deteriorate around windows. Leather headrests in back are splitting.

This car goes through brakes like I go through shoes, but are 5x more expensive. Dealer claims it's normal for the rear brakes to wear before the front...BS! Now there's a grrrrrrrrr noise when I start the car for which the dealer said will cost about $800 to fix (can't remember what he exactly said was wrong). Also, windows don't automatically go up all the way in cold weather. Further, the air-con is loud. Will never ever never buy a Honda again!!!!
