[TimeKeeper]

nice ride~

 

[Tiamat]

nice! congrats!

 

[redgtxdi]

ok now we just need $$$

How much & was there any violence?

 

[swtethan]

we have the same exhaust tips! woo hooo!

 

[caivoma]

Very nice car.

 

[overst33r]

Excellent choice. The only thing that turns me off is that they are still using a timing belt...

 

[Xyclone]

I'll get my dad's 07 Camry V6 and we'll RACE!

Nice car. The interior is very Acura-like. A bit too expensive for my dad, though, he's very practical. He only got the V6 version of his car because it got 1 combined mpg lower than the I4, and it was under 22K (LE).

 

[Slew Foot]

Very nice, im thinking of getting one in the next few months. How do you like the v6 compared to the I4 on the ex?

How much did that run you? Close to 30K Im guessing with all the bells and whistles?

 

[thomsbrain]

White Accords FTW!

Looks great. If I was in the market for a new daily driver, I'd be hard pressed to find something more appealing than that EXACT car.

Enjoy it!

WHY OH WHY OWHY DID THEY PUT THAT HORRIFIC design for the Navi, and the billion buttons for the radio? I also don't care for the Hyundai looking rear. The new Accords look gorgeous from the sides though, and are really nice interior wise.

I just cant get over that ugly ass navi in a bowl...

 

[krunchykrome]

Wow, that looks really nice. How much did you pay out the door?

And they had the one of the best nav systems before (IMO). You can still find it on the Civics (maybe just Si), old Accords, etc.

WTF are you talking bout? Honda makes the best onboard Navs in the industry.

Thanks for the feedback everybody

redgtxdi, Slew Foot, krunchykrome: My out the door price (including tax, title, & tags) with back-up camera and all season mats was $31,383.67... MSRP sans ttt is $31,510, so I think I did ok for a brand new model with only 2 dealerships in town (there are 3, but 2 are owned by the same group and I won't do business with them, so really I only have 1 option in my city). Probably could have done better if I waited or tried harder, but oh well. The white diamond pearl sedans with navigation are harder to come by. WDP is only offered on the V6 sedans.. and there are less V6 sedans compared to I4 sedans, and even less V6 navis.

Slew Foot: Sorry, I did not drive the 4 cylinder model at all.

Xyclone: Haha, you win. The new Camry is quicker, but I didn't get the Accord thinking it would win any races. It was just a nice combo of comfort/power/economy to me. If I wanted to get a new Accord to race in, I'd have gone with the 6-speed V6 coupe - now those can move!


amdhunter: there really aren't that many buttons on the dash. I agree it looks cluttered and complicated, but after using it for half an hour it's quite simple. Also, every function can be controlled by voice command. The only button on the dash I press now is the enter button after I start the car to accept the navi disclaimer. Everything else I use the steering wheel controls or voice controls for.

very nice!

Which is why people are criticizing the new ones so much. It's not even touch screen AFAIK. They copied BMW in the one place it sucks at, iDrive.

Hehe, the 6spd V6 coupe can destroy the front tires.

I don't doubt it. I was dying to get the Honda Nav for my Civic. I've only heard good things about it. I just don't like how it has that look like it's sitting inside of a bowl.

I am sure it works great.

 

[sindows]

Congrats on the car although its not my thing for 31k+

Do these screens get locked when you're driving... I know Lexus' does. I-Drive doesn't and it's great for it. Not the most innovative but it works well. Touch-screens are more dangerous too.

My friend's Accord's (pre-08) nav is touch screen, and you can use it while driving (great if he has a passenger). His Lexus IS350's is touch screen, but you have to be stopped to use it. His sister's 350Z's nav on the other hand, can only be used when you're in the Park gear... which can get annoying.

Nice car but it looks a bit "frumpy", I like the color and the interior looks great.

I'm sure that the ride and build quality are top notch.

 

[akshatp]

Nice ride!

Question: Why did you "whiteout" the license plate for the pics? LOL I never understood why people do this online. You know thousands of drivers see the plates when you are driving right?

Just a thought... Again, nice ride..
