 Advice to buyer:

Test drive it carefully where you normally drive.

 Detailed review:

I am extremly disappointed with the gas mileage on my Accord. The majority of my driving is a 40 mile highway commute and I average less than the city epa estimate of 26mpg. The brakes are extremely touchy and the dealer says there is nothing that can be done. The ride is very stiff especially on small bumps or ridges in the highway. The transmission shifts awkwardly until it warms up - again the dealer says is is normal. My 92 Camry was a far better vehicle.
