 Comments

 Favorite feature:

value. You get a lot of features for the price.

 Least favorite feature:

noisy ride -- a lot of tire noise (the hollow drone of a poorly insulated wheel well) and wind noise around the windows and exterior mirrors

 Advice to buyer:

drive this car on the road surfaces you normally travel and listen

 Detailed review:

This is my second Honda. Perhaps my expectations have exceeded the value offered by the Accord. This car seemed to have everything I was looking for in a commuter vehicle; fuel economy, pep, clean looks both inside and out, enough back seat room that my 4 year old daughter's feet don't get wedged. I was in awe from my last experience and took this one for an abbreviated test drive (a direct result of trying to satisfy the daughter requirement on one of her off days). Since driving the EX over the past 3 weeks I have become very disappointed in the overall ride comfort, especially the ever present hum from the tires over our New England (rough) road surfaces.
