Re: Q. I'm considering a 2005 Accord. What is your experience?
I always thought that driving stick improves you motor skills and response
time in day to day life. Maybe if somebody did a study, seniors who drive stick for long periods of time would be more ambulatory and have better reflexes? Heh, maybe a little! |

It's the 4-cylinder (one of two stick Hondas on the lot, at 2 large dealerships in the area). For me, it had to be a stick, or no car. The dealership I decided on, had only 2 stick Accords (like the other dealership). So, I got the color I wanted (and not the black one, though I don't mind black, for say a motorcycle, or something). I am so charmed with my new Accord, I can't sit still. I'm following break-in to a T, and not just for the 600 miles as advised. THE BEST PART IS: After I got it, I found others at work that have one, or a previoous year's. NOTHING but praise on their longevity. One person said they got 230,000 miles (If true, WOW ! ) |
