Overall Great Vehicle, Will Love It If Electronic Bugs Get Fixed — I have had an EXL V6 Coupe manual for about a month now. The car looks beautiful and the interior is very comfortable. The back seats, for a coupe, are very roomy and the trunk is quite large. The performance is very strong. I owned a 2009 Civic Si, and this car blows that away as far as acceleration (I think the "0-60 in 5.6" I have seen mentioned for the V6 accord must be for the sedan automatic, because this seems even quicker than that). Shifting is seamless and handling is impressive overall. It does seem slightly front heavy at times going into turns at speed and the steering could be a tad tighter, but it's not far off the mark. I have had some frustration with the electronics though. Odd periods of not being able to change the radio station for almost an hour, the display saying "audio power is off" while the radio is on and other random frustrations. And of course, it's never happening long enough for a Honda technician at a dealership to see it, so they are clueless as far as what to do about it. That could drive me insane if not resolved.

Slightly Disappointed But Should Be A Car That I Can Rely On For A Long Time. — This car has all of the latest technology with the exception of a self-dimming rear-view mirror and GPS positioning cruise control such as offered on the new 2014 Mazda 6. The best trait of this car has been the incredibly smooth ride for this size wheel base. Of course this may be greatly due to the $1,200 tires. Gas mileage is only 2 mpg better than that of my 6-cyl. 2012 Camaro that I traded. My insurance actually increased $3 per month over that of the Camaro. The MSRP of the tires on my Honda is $300 whereas the tires on my Camaro were $250 each. I thought I would find significant improvement in all three of these aspects rather than none of them. I have the 6-cyl. EX-L and it doesn't have a self-dimming rear-view mirror or power passenger seat. Additionally, the wheels are a little tacky looking in my opinion and labor intensive when it comes to keeping them clean. This car handles well enough but it doesn't corner as agressively as I thought it would for a coupe set-up. Lastly, the voice control features are laborius at best, slightly worse than they were on my 2006 Acura TSX. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Great Power, Great Features And Great Gas Mileage! — I have had this vehicle for a month now and am very happy with it. The power from this 4 cylinder is simply amazing. I really like all of the electronic features. This car does everything but make you a martini! I wouldn't give up the gas mileage to have the 6 cylinder. So far, a great vehicle.
