 Comments

 Favorite feature:

Navigation system - it is very thourough with guiding you to your destination.

 Least favorite feature:

Lagged acceleration (although once the engine did kick in, there was plenty of power) - 4cyl engine

 Advice to buyer:

Test drive the car before buying it. Try the automatic transmission vs the manual transmission. The manual has much more power and is more fun to drive. Also test out the navigation ssytem before buying.

 Detailed review:

I bought this car specifically for the interior. This was a great buy! Some quirky things to consider before purchasing: 1. there is a lag when putting the pedal to the floor and trying to accelerate. 2. the navigation system controls the audio and A/C as well - it can be cumbersome to learn the system. 3. no 60/40 split seats, however you can pull down the entire bench to access the trunk, or you can fold down the armrest in the center to access the trunk (good for skis). 4. the sunroof controls are to the left of the steering wheel instead of near the sunroof.

 Also considered:

2005 Toyota Camry
2005 Nissan Altima
2005 Mazda MAZDA6

 Vehicle purchased:

2005 Honda Accord
