2009 HONDA ACCORD

Summary:
I traded my 2008 Honda Accord coupe, which I bought brand new, because brakes were squeeling, to a 2009 Honda Accord (4door). Same problem! Service department changed disc and pad couple of times. And due to change them again, waiting for new pads and disc. Still the same problem. How many more times do they have to keep changing until they get it right? I'm just one out of 7 or 8 (maybe more) with the same problem. I'm very disappointed with Honda. The reason I buy their cars because they used to have a good reputation on quality. Now it seems they're making cars by quantity and not quality anymore. They insist it's not a safety issue. That's right, but it is an issue! Buying a brand new car and encountering this problem, how would you feel? And how would you feel to hear this problem everyday when you drive your car? I'm really sad and disappointed, I should have bought something else :-(

2009 Accord LX

Strengths:
Attractive. Competitive. Steering wheel controls light up. Tons of headroom and legroom for 6'3" driver like me. Curtain airbags. (7 or 8 total!) This car will last a long, long time. Best brakes I've ever used, and I'm 42. Excellent stereo system. This is the best car I've ever owned. I think the V6 Accord ( I own the 4 cyl.) makes it the Best Car available at ANY price, anywhere. My '08 Pilot is the best SUV on the road; it seats 8 (8!)-in comfort, even in 3rd row! My 17 yr old nephew sat back there this summer! Twice!

Weaknesses:
Non ethat I have found. People who don't like Hondas complain abut the seat comfort. I think they make them harder than some so they last forever-like the car itself. I'm 230 lbs, and I like them just fine. Beautiful fabric!

Summary:
This car is large, comfortable, quiet, very competitive, fairly quick, and very economical. Very attractive, also. High quality as is typical of all Hondas. I also own a 2008 Honda Pilot, and neither vehicle has had any service done other than oil changes.

2008 Honda Accord

Strengths:
GOOD PRICE (If you pay 25,000 or more for this car, you are paying too much. Its easier to just get it at 19,000 and its basically the same)

Great Steering

Fast

Great Gas Mileage (31 MPG)

SAFE

Sleek Design

A LOT OF ROOM IN THE CAR (Very Underrated part of the car)

It' a honda, come on

Weaknesses:
None really...

Summary:
This automobile is spectacular and is the best overall sedan I have ever purchased; There are three main concepts to the accord...
1) Easy to drive
2) Great Gas
3) Great Price

This car certainly has some 'pep' and can go pretty fast (0-60 is a few seconds). It is also a reliable car because the accord line is known for safety. Signals, turning, accelerating, lane changing, stopping short is great in this car. I personally like it better then the Chevy Malibu and Toyota Sedan (I forget which one) and those companies usually compare themselves to the accord...for instance, the Malibu's big advantage to the accord mentioned in commercials is better gas mileage, when it turns out, the Malibu gas only is one gallon better then the accord.The car also has a lot of room.

The accord is ideal for any person, teenager-seniors. It can go fast and its extremely safe, the best sedan I have ever driven.
