 Comments

 Favorite feature:

Engine and transmission combination

 Least favorite feature:

does not have electric passenger seats and some added features the other cars have in the same model

 Advice to buyer:

If you love the way a Honda drives, you will not find it in any other vehicle, though Huyandi tries to come close

 Detailed review:

I have a four door 4 cylinder 2006. Best Honda accord I have owned. This is my third. Past last 1998 to my son. Went for broke with the leather ex. Quietest and fastest four cylinder. Last one was a v6. Like this better. Smoother engine, quiet as the six and almost as fast. Stays quiet at even high speeds and climbing hills. Responsive and takes turns and you can feel the turns as you do it, responsive to my manuevering. Seats most comfortable considering it is not a massive car. Expensive compared to Huyandai. I would love the Pilot but way out of our league. May trade in our 2002 Villager for a 2007 santa fee. Hated the Toyota Highlander. Looking for a SUV instead of a Van. Do not like to sit highup. We had a old Izzu, which fell apart. Looking for midsize suv crossover without seats for a baseball team with half decent milage with also a smooth car ride. Impossible to find. Only one we drove was the Highlander which tried to take the car out of our control, going over a small bump entering the highway. It jerked back and forward. I guess that is the newer 4 wheel drive with traction control. I do not want the car trying to anticipate if front tires leave the road for 2 seconds going over speed bumps.

 Also considered:

2006 Hyundai Sonata
2006 Toyota Camry

 Vehicle purchased:

2006 Honda Accord
