This is my wife's car, and she would call it excellent in every way. I, however would have some very minor reservations. We have owned this car a year now and it has been nearly perfect with no problems in 14k miles. It runs great, drives great, and in my opinion, is one of the best looking cars around. If I were to change anything, it could do with a little less road noise. You can tell when the highway goes from asphalt to concrete by the sound and feel through the steering wheel. I understand road feel is a good thing, but I don't need to hear it as well. I wish it could attain the same mpg as our old 4 cylinder coupe, but you will have that trade off for the wonderful power of the V6!
Solid, but...

Bought new, my first non-GM car owned in 27 years. FANTASTIC engine, 5AT anticipates your needs, go-kart like steering, decent ride quality, solid, dependable, does what it's supposed to do. Zero squeaks/rattles/creaks. Interior storage is impressive. HOWEVER, seat comfort is a personal preference - spend a good hour sitting in one before you buy. Very poor blind-spot visibility. OE Michelins wear like iron, but handicap high-speed turns. Condition the leather seats early and often. Paint chips easily. HandsfreeLink voice recognition is abysmal. 270 Watt sound system is OK, but not what I expected for the power rating. Audio/Clock/DIC settings are cumbersome. That said, I love the looks, the performance, and the overall quality. If I hear a rattle, it is my stuff, not the interior. The seats are FIRM, but hug you and wear well (if maintained). Brakes don't pulsate, squeak, or wear out prematurely. People nicknamed this the "O.M.M." (Old Man's Mustang) and I wouldn't disagree. For those of us in the snow-belt (FWD) without little kids (2 door) and who want serious passing power (J35 V6), you could do a lot worse. Zeibart cut the road noise and WeatherTech saved the carpet. I would do it all over again given my needs and the choices available then. Keep in mind that Honda dealer support is below even GM standards - charged $106 checkout fee (while under warranty) for a slow coolant leak they couldn't find. What Honda? Do you think I purposely drained my own coolant? Or did it just "evaporate"? Honda, you should have just ate the 1 hour diagnosis. 2020 Update: regrettably, I had to sell it. Not it’s fault, but because the new driving dynamic is that everyone else drives an SUV/Pickup with blinding HID headlights, they’re totally distracted by their electronic toys so they don’t notice this little car, they don’t respect its size, and the crumbling roads are destroying its looks. I now peacefully drive a beat-up 19 YO pickup. THE END.

The Accord, in my opinion, has always been a nice looking (albeit, not all that flashy) auto with known reliability. All of my past automobiles have been American sports cars, luxury sedans, and trucks. While shopping for a new vehicle, I wanted something that was safe and reliable while providing a modest yet stylish middle-class appearance to my clients. I choose an Accord for practical reasons. I knew instantly that I wanted a V6, leather, and a coupe. I figured this would give me the creature comforts I desired in addition to enough horsepower to keep up with traffic. Boy, was I wrong! This car handles better and has more luxury appointments than many of the vehicles I've owned.

I purchased this car new in December of 2011. Its now nine years old with 74k miles, and to date, it has never failed me. Tires, gas, a new battery, and oil changes are the only expenses I've ever had. I'm a happy Honda customer!!!
