Some people are never happy
After 8 months and reading some of these reviews I had to chime in. The v6 in my car is awesome. My 5th Accord, 3 had over 300k miles on them. I get 32.7 mpg hwy and 25 hwy when I drive good. When I drive nutty its substantially lower (to be expected by anyone with a brain). People seem to think you can buy something new and abuse it. The car needs to be properly broken is to get the best out of it. I like the option of changing the locking and unlocking of the doors to my preferences. I also have an s2000 another super car. I refused to trade my 1991 Accord in because at 263,000 miles it is still running so good. The oldie will be the parking lot ding car .
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.

Outstanding Value
This my second Honda, had a '90 Prelude Si, have to say Honda has certainly increased the fun factor! My coupe is the 6 speed manual, have had two bad experiences with 6 speed autos in other brands, (test drove the Accord EX-L V-6 with the 5 speed auto, was not impressed, decided to get the 6 speed and shift myself, great decision. This thing will fly low, was amazed at the power and response, handles great, wouldn't know that it's FWD unless you push it past it's limits. Gas mileage after 1000 miles is averaging apprx 23- 24 mpg in a blend of city/highway. A 75 mile freeway trip at 65 mph in sixth gear produced 28.4 which is above what Honda indicated. All around so far great vehicle..
Love This Car!
I ordered this coupe in October and it arrived 2 weeks ago. From the moment I pulled out of the dealers lot...wow...excellent power and pickup. Even thought the roads had some ice on them I just kept driving. Cornering is excellent, handles better than the BMW 328xi I was considering (too expensive with expensive repairs).Stablity control is apparent, shift is smooth although the gear box is small, as compared to the SUV's I was used to driving. Brakes are sensitive and feel secure, no drift, but occ steering torque is apparent with some up shifting.
