Back to Honda, again.
Hello DA,

It's been 1 year since I left Honda for other brands, but I'm happy to be back. I had a 2007 G35X 4-Door and a 2012 Touareg TDI in between... Sufficient to say, I wasn't thrilled with either for the price I paid, features I got and lack of reliability from either.

So it's back to Accords for me. This will be my 4th - 8th Gen, now topping my line up off with a 2012.

I picked up a 2012 EX-L V6, 6MT, Navi, for $26,143. I'm quite happy with the price and the car. It's Black on Black. Pics will follow shortly.

Glad to be back in the circle once again!

Before I bought the Accord I was looking at the G but they were damn overpriced and not worth it IMO. Welcome back.

Some people got it like that!

Welcome back! I'm not surprised about VW issues, but what trouble did the G37 give you?

Welcome back! I did the same thing. I went from a beloved 07 Accord to a 10 Ford Edge and regreted it the instant I drove off the lot. Now Im back in a beautiful new 12 EX. Honda 4 life 4 me!

Wow, 4 8th gen? Why not try other cars rather than spending the money on the same car? Obviously, it's your money and this is just an opinion of mine. I just always think cars are a depreciating assets.
