Just got a new car!! 2010 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L San Marino Red

[Imported]

That car is lowered by like 3"s and has 18" wheels on it. Do that to any car and it will look 100% better.

Don't forget the optional factory lip kit.

19's and its lowered by probably 1.5" given the usual HFP suspension kits

Yep, that one has the HFP 19" wheels, HFP body kit and probably the suspension too. A 1.5" drop is all it needs with 19s.

i just got a 2010 LX-S myself

the car is not tall from any sort of drivers and previous accords perspective, in fact it sits rather low and wide.
The handling/balance is brilliant considering it is a fwd vehicle.
Some how honda managed to tune the suspension so during turning the CG feels behind the drivers seat.

crappy brakes are a long standing problem in late model accords, my 03 and 07 had shuddering brakes, it is because the pad compound the OEM uses seems to overheat easily.
I was always able to fix the issue by switching to hawk HPS pads.
If that is the biggest problem i ever have with my cars i can live with that.

love this car
everyone rips on accords for being boring and pedestrian but i don't mind if the new coupe is a well kept secret.
even myself i did not test drive it before i bought it figuring it drove like all my other accords, but this one is brilliant.

Nice car OP. The interior is awesome (along with the front end). I agree with some of the other posters that the back end could be improved, but the car looks very nice overall. Enjoy!

Even the sedan is quite good. I test drove more than a dozen cars, including some that were out of my price range, and the handling really surprised me for a FWD car on stock wheels/tires/suspension.

Of course there are sedans that handle better. There are few that will match it for reliability, easy/cheap maintenance, low depreciation, cheap insurance, etc.

Both the sedan and coupe look better with 19" wheels, so that's probably the first mod I'll do (and the obligatory 1.5" drop so it doesn't look ridiculous with the larger wheels).

How much is a set of performance tires for 19" rims that only last 30k-40K miles.

30-40k? I'm happy if I get 15k out of my tires.. lol

Oh that's weak... must be the body kit that makes it look artificially lower.
