I thought I would post my review of the 2007 Accord for those that are current owners of a07 accord since I dont see that many personal reviews on here. Please excuse any typos due to my time frame in typing this..thx.
Exterior: I actually prefer the 2007 exterior over the 03 and 08. Being a previous owner of an 03 accord that gave me numerous problems,and I agree with the professional reviewers about that 03 tail end that looked as though someone chopped it off. Although mines had a lip spoiler which gave it balance. The 07 Revised rear end is a perfect balance so sporty without being too overstated. The LEDs at night really stands out and the front end DRLs are a much deserved upgrade and makes the car look more expensive driving down the road and safe.
Interior: The interior is classy and upscale. I have tan interior and I think the woodgrain is a nice touch in contrast with the Peanut Butter leather. I have two nephews and both are in car seats. After a couple of trips, the leather has proven to be resistant to tears and scratches on the back seat and still looks new from the factory. The gauges are very legible but is too bright at night on the eyes and can cause a distraction while driving but this can easily be adjusted by the dim switch. I have put 8000 miles so far and the car is still rattle free, but its still too early in the game for long term expectations. The suspension is fairly stable with minimal body lean which is to be expected for a stream line family mid size sedan.
Engine: The engine is very powerful for a FWD car. Passing is effortless and the car could easily hit a 100 without breaking a sweat. Unfortunately, the tires dont live up to the suspension and will be seeing a replacement soon. I have been on one road trip so far with two adults and two kids and the car still moves with no problems Merging into traffic is a breeze and there is no strain when passing an 18 wheeler. Overall the its a great engine for 244hp.
Brakes: The brakes may take some time getting use to first hand. They are very grabby and sensitive. Sometimes the car almost thinks you are having an accident and applies extra pressure but this has saved my life and my car from being in a head on collision with some A hole that decided to cut me off at the last minute. I hit the brakes instantly with firm pressure and the car came to a halt within 5seconds from 50mph. No smoke and no collisions.:thmsup: That earns a A+ in my book
Noise: The car is not as quiet as my mother's Camry but than again its not suppose to be. This is a Honda Accord. The two are like night and day. One is sporty and one is luxury. Thats all there is to it.
This is my conclusion, overall the car is a dependable, and sporty machine. Way to go Honda!!
