Anyone own or drive an 05-06 Accord Sedan?

Might have the opportunity to get a kickass deal on an 05-06 Accord sedan, the rest of the options up to me. Of course I want a 5MT, and I-4 for mileage/cost reasons.

I'm seeking input specifically on the handling of these puppies.

Also interested in hearing how the 5MT I-4 drives in the sedan. I had a buddy with an...03-04? coupe 5MT, but obviously that's a bit diff driving-wise.

Right now I have a 97 Legacy GT Wagon 4EAT. Once I'm done with the suspension here shortly, she's gonna handle like a dream. Power is okay, but not mind blowing & I'm not putting the money into it to give it more power. I do like the AWD and it is very cheap for me. Gas mileage isn't great of course, but I'm not terribly worried about it.

I guess the idea with the Accord might be to get it and drive for a couple years & possibly trade-in/sell since Accord's retain their value really well. Of course if I really love it, I'll keep it for a long time. Either way not a bad deal I suppose.

Thoughts?
 
i have an 03 auto i4 sedan with ghetto intake, dc header, brembo rotors and 20 mm rear sway bar. Great car for the money.

Stock handling is not particularly good, but the $50 rear sway bar improves it a lot. Some cars come with stock 15" wheels which also contributes to bad handling, even the OEM 16" wheels give better composure. I have not tried 17s yet.

Yeah I have a feeling a RSB will be hit up on there immediately. The car I'm looking at would have 16" I believe. Thanks for the input
