We chose this car mostly because of its consumer reports test.  It was ranked as one of the most solid and dependable cars ever made.  After the first test drive, i was sold.  With gas prices the way they are, the gas mileage i get (anywhere between 28 and 32) is a welcome bonus.  We bought in December, and ive loved it ever since.  

Pros: Looks sharp, fun to drive.  
Cons: The interior seems cheap.  The seats are nice and comfy but the look and feel of all the plastic just makes the inside feel like a much cheaper car.

Test drove this car. It was a LX-Premium version of the Accord Sedan with a 5-Speed manual. The car was responsive especially with the control of a manual transmission where the full potential of the car can be unleashed over an automatic. Also drove an automatic coupe version and it was not as responsive as this car off the line. The clutch was also very easy to engage and the shifter switched between the gears with ease.

This car also has ample space in front and back although the front may not be as spacious as the coupe. I am over six feet tall and it is not easy to find a car where I can fit confortably in the back seat with enough room when the front seat is all the way back. This car offers enough space.

This car is tuned with the driver in mind. It makes having a family sedan an enjoyable experience with sporty characteristics. It has the tight handling and dynamics of a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Nissan Altima, or Mazda 6 conbined with the road manners of a luxury car.

Unless you want to fall asleep at the wheel due to how boring your car is to drive and how dour it is in appearance then buy a Camry otherwise the Accord is one of the top choices for a family sedan.

Another car worth considering is the new Chevrolet Malibu when considering the Accord. It is a substantial vehicle that can compete with the best in its class. Yes people, come out from under the rock you have been living under for years and finally realize that the Americans make great cars!

Pros: 5-Speed Manual
Interior volume
Quality fit and finish
Dashboard is relatively simple to get used to even though it has many buttons scattered about.
Cons: Dash may be too overwhelming for some with its array of buttons.

Performance- quick acceleration, excellent braking, excellent handling.  Very refined for a 4 cylinder engine.
The build quality is what you would expect from a Honda.  It is very good.
The styling is classy and looks sleek.  Nice refined finish.
Maintenance has been minimum since it is less than a year old only oil changes have been needed.  Gas mileage is very good.  Best in class actually.  Averaging about 8.2 litres per 100 kms.
This is a family sedan, but it is still a fun car to drive.

Pros: Lots of interior room, sleek design, refined, peppy engine,  fun to drive.
Cons: Could use a better shaped trunk and a 60/40 rear seat split would be nice.
