Pro reviews: Accord coupe and sedan

[bustamove]

If anybody is on the fence when considering the new Accord, I hope this helps out. We were very impressed with the way Honda stepped up to the plate and delivered the new Accord.

My personal peeve is FWD, but everything else the Accord has matches up to its competition and then some. Go Honda!

I love my car, but if you love RWD, have a checkered flag indicating racing on your ava...and your previous car is a RWD, you probably need to go RWD no matter what and you won't be happy with FWD. believe me, I can't wait until RWD becomes practical to me someday when I get a second car.

Some applications, like racing, RWD is the better way to go. I've owned several FWD and RWD cars and each have their own pluses and minuses. My daily driver is an RSX, so I'm not a total hater of FWD cars.

Honda does an excellent job engineering FWD cars. It's just too bad that the Acura TL and Accord are not as good as they could be when compared to G35, BMW 3-series, or IS 250.

Funny how one reviewer notes how well the Navi works and the other calls it complicated...

Guess it's all about what you know already!

I think the 08 Accords Navi is very easy to use... as do most other publications. To each their own though!

Thanks for sharing.

Anyone catch the 286 HP for the sedan review?

I wish.

There are far worse user interfaces for nav. Ever try the nav-systems from Ford or Mazda? Yuck!

The easiest to learn and most intuitive (translation: able to without cracking open the manual) have been the Infiniti and Toyota navis.

Thanks for catching the error. Too many late nights editing copy.

I corrected the bullet item.
