My new car

Picked it up yesterday.

2004 Accord LX 5-speed manual (77 miles on the odometer when I drove it off the lot). I was considering a 2000 Subaru Legacy L sedan with 32K on the clock, but I was offered an unbeatable deal on this car at true (according to Edmunds) invoice price. I love the interior. The exterior design is a bit bland (and it's a common car), but it's tough to beat Honda quality, materials and workmanship.

And for my first stickshift car, a Honda transmission is perfect. 🙂

EDIT: and I know, I look like crap in the pic...I had just come back from a run with my girlfriend.
 
They are not bad. Have to disagree with you on the honda tranny though. They are wayyyyy too soft for my taste.

I hope you got the side impact airbags. Or that you never get hit from the side.

Not really... they're giving you $3k off the invoice, but they're taking you testicles in trade.

haha LOL! 😀

Come on now, the miata is a great handling car, definitely one of the most fun to drive cars on the road... IMO it's not girly at all...
 
Congrats, our family has 2 2004's ourselves. Great car, you'll love it.

Hit up v6performance.net for up to date chat on mods and stuff for it.
 
I think he answered the question by saying that tranny was soft. What other kind of explanation would you like? btw nice family car you have there.



Btw, Jumpr congrats on your purchase. I'm slated to buy a new Audi soon too.

No testicles being taken here. It's a lightweight RWD 5-speed. The only options I wanted with are stiffer sway bars, larger brakes, stiffer springs, stiffer shocks, and the LSD. All of which come in the Sport package.
