Before buying the Accord, I test drove the Altima & Camry. The Camry was very comfortable, but not sporty and the ride was boring. The Altima was sporty, but I chose the Accord over it because it’s a bit larger, and the EX trim had all the options I wanted. I was planning to get the 3.5 L V-6 engine, but after test driving the 4-cylinder (190 HP), I was very content with the pickup! So I saved $2 K upfront and will also save down the road since the 4 cylinder gets slightly better gas mileage. It’s a great car, spacious, comfortable, fun to drive, and handles very well. I would suggest opting for the body side moldings to help prevent door dings.

Reading the reviews has me puzzled; either people love the car or hate it. Honda always made cars that were more sporty than American cars and Camry. Had a 1994 Honda Accord with almost 120,000 miles on it and will miss it. Overall the car is great: more room, more power, just as sporty as always (firm seats/ride).

This is my first Japanese car. Great car to drive hold the road very good and steering is tight. After driving it for a few months I found the seats are tough on the lower back on long runs and it need a few more inches to go back. Fuel mileage is disappointing 15/18 city 22/26 hwy. winter/summer. Very cheap paint and clear coat very chip happy. Good thing it's leased for only 2 more years.

I have owned very high end cars and I am amazed at the expectations of some of these reviewers. This Honda is so fun to drive and very reasonably priced. A 20k car is not going to drive like a 50k car. My husband and I compare it to our old BMW. Of course, it has more road noise but so did the 5 series when we tested it. We are both tall, 5'11'' and 6'2" and have no problems with the seats. This is a great car for the money.

I've had my sedan for a month now and am very happy with it. Driving this car is simply effortless - the engine is smooth and responsive, the steering is perfectly tight without feeling heavy, and the suspension handles corners well without feeling harsh over bumps. I've made several 3+ hour trips with it and never felt worn out like I did with my previous car (a Pontiac Grand Prix).
