After owning my '05 Accord EX V6 Coupe for just a very short time, I am already very impressed.  The overall styling, comfort, safety, and performance is up to par with cars priced thousands of dollars more.
   The exterior of the Accord, in my opinion, is very sleak and sexy, without attracting lots of extra attention as a Subaru WRX, or Honda's Prelude.  The lines of the car flow perfectly, and the headlights are angled to match the lines of the car.  The 17 inch stock rims fill the wheel well perfectly, and the fog lights upfront provide more than ample light on dark backroads at night.  The only downfall I can think of on the coupe's exterior is that although the dual mufflers look very nice, it does nothing for perfomance, and just adds extra parts that could rust or possibly need to be replaced someday.  
   The interior of the coupe is near perfect.  The heated, power, leather seats are very stylish and comfortable, and are great for long roadtrips.   The touchscreen controls for things such as a/c and audio controls are a little confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, they are very convienent.  The steering wheel, besides having cruise control control on the right, also has audio controls on the left, as well as a voice activation for the GPS navigation system.  The guages in the dashboard are big and easy to read, and are electronically illuminated providing crystal clear readings in any light.  The rear seats are easy to get in and out of for a coupe, and have a surprising amount of legroom ( I am 6'2" with long legs and fit fine).  The seats also fold down allowing for storage of long items. All of this with a nice sounding premium audio system and 6 disc changer make the accord's interior very conveinent and comfy. The only complaint i have is that the blind spots are a little bigger than in other four door sedans, but not bad for a coupe.
   The performance in the EX coupe comes from a 3.0 liter, v6 engine kicking out 240hp and 212 lb ft of torque. The engine is equipped with Honda's iVtec variable valve timing technology. This kicks in some time around 5,000rpm's, and gives a nice little power boost along with an engine growl that is to die for.  This engine is matted up with a 6 speed manual transmission. The shifts are very tight and precise.  The engine loves the high rev, and doesn't mind when you downshift at all.  With the traction control on, the coupe takes off fairly fast, especially for an Accord.  The only cons about the performance are that the 6 speed gearbox is a little tight, which took me about a week or two to get used to when shifting.  And I'm not sure if it is just my particular car or not, but sometimes it doesn't like it when i shift into third, and either seems to not click into gear, or sometimes it grinds while going in??  OTher than that I am very satisfied with the overall performance.

Pros — Interior is very comfortable and the layout of all controls and equipment fits the driver's needs. The exterior is sharp and sleek. The performance is much improved over older Accords and makes for a very fun drive.
Cons — Limited visability out the rear window also larger blindspots than on other cars. The electronic touchscreen controls are confusing at first. Has dual mufflers but not true dual exhaust. 17" rims make it expensive to replace tires. When setting the alarm the horn honks loudly, instead of a quieter, more subtle electronic beep.

The stock Honda rims on the Accord (05)coupe are junky looking.I will have to find a set of after market chrome rims to really set the car off.Interior is very nice.Ext. paint job is cheap.My 04 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with black ext (clear coat paint)was 100% nicer than the Accord's Graphite Pearl paint job.The car overall is not worth close to $30,000.

Pros — leather seats,body style
Cons — noisy on the road,cheap wheels,16"rims instead of 17",crappy paint
