Wish I Could Love This Car, But I Don't

Based on Honda's reputation, I bought this Accord. Initially, I loved it. But, in the two years I've owned it, I have had constant brake problems (car shakes under braking and the brakes wore out early). The dealership replaced the brakes all the way around at no charge. Then I had the A/C leak water all over my feet. The seats are extremely uncomfortable. I dread the thought of long trips in this car. Finally, my biggest complaint is the noises I hear from parts of the car. Honda is known for their build quality but all I do is go from one rattle to the other. The dealership has gotten to know me quite well. As long as I have a warranty, they're going to fix my rattles.
What a Bummer!

I have owned Accords for 12 years, and I was SOOOO excited about the 2008. Only a few months later, I had issues with dash noises (still not fixed after four tries), and at 20,000 miles, the rear brake pads needed to be replaced. According to the service department, this will continue indefinitely (at 300.00 dollars a pop, it isn't a cheap prospect). We also had transmission issues that the dealer "couldn't duplicate". It was choppy and noisy. We recently sold the car for a Ford Fusion. We wanted to ditch it before it isn't worth anything at all. Honda refused to fix the problem with the brakes, couldn't hear tranny probs and after 4 tries stopped dash rattle with fuzzy black tape.

Gets 29 mpg highway and does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds on regular unleaded! Steering is extremely accurate and allows you to feel what's going on with the road much better than Altima which had a loose and disconnected feeling. This car is bigger than i would have liked. Too bad they couldn't keep same size of previous generation accord. Seems like cars from all manufacturers are getting bigger these days though. Forgetting about size, the overall design has really grown on me. Has a chiseled look, they placed the sharp cut angles in some well chosen spots. I have had quite a few compliments from strangers. It is amazing how much room this car has though.

I considered many vehicles; test drove a few and "settled" on the Accord EX-L V6. Is it a pure drivers or enthusiast car? No, it's not. Instead it just offers a very solid feel, more then competent acceleration, tons of very comfortable space, great sounding audio, decent fuel economy and handles more Germanic then Japanese. It brings a smile when I look at it parked, and the smile only widens as I move down the road. Visually appealing, great tactile feel from all that you touch in the cabin, and if your right foot develops an attitude, you'll find both whats under the hood and all the chassis components more then up to the task of keeping that smile in place.
An All Around Excellent Performer

I own a 2006 Maxima which is my daily driver, but on weekends and long trips I chose the Accord. It does not feel as powerful as the Maxima, even though it has about the same horse power rating, but it provides a much more satisfying driving experience, especially on long trips. I took the car on a trip to Quebec last summer. I never felt the fatigue experienced in most of my previous automobiles. It has good power, visibility, trunk space and nice handling. I love the fuel economy, the capability of using regular gas and work to cruise in the "econ" 3 cylinder mode. The car is an all around excellent performer!
