Got a new ride...

lookin good jpeyton. i'd just get rid of the ridiculous dealer tag on the front 😉

Indeed, I'm not sure why I haven't done that yet.

BTW, the car was pretty dirty today when I took the pictures. Dark grey REALLY hides dirt well.

That's why I'm on my third one. They are great people movers. Not the most exciting drive; the handling is a step up from a Camry, but step down from a Mazda6. Excellent reliability, maintenance costs, and resale.


It's cavernous inside. The extra room is really noticeable in the rear seats, and the width of the cabin. It seems all the manufacturers are super-sizing their USDM family sedans. The new Subaru Legacy and Mazda6 look enormous compared to their svelte predecessors.

The motor noise is a subdued whirring. Good for the target market.


My have a few friends with 7.5Gs. The sharp angles of that car never grew on me. I'm a guy who likes direct-access buttons, so I'm not bothered with the console. I do dislike the fact that Honda doesn't include a trip-computer. It's 2009; every car should have a MPG and DTE readout, especially one costing $20k+.

I don't agree. IMHO the Camry SE handling is better than the Accord. I test drove Accord/Mazda6/Altima/Sonata/Elantra/Corolla/Passat/Jetta, and ended up buying a Camry SE 2 weeks back.
