Search for new honda ends rather quickly.
Armed with all of the information I had gleaned from this group and
armed with NADA values and CARFAX reports, I went in search of a
suitable Honda Accord. I found my first choice sitting on the lot,
negotiated a price, arranged financing, and drove it home. It is a
2006 Honda Accord with the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder with all of the
gadgets I wanted, plus alloy wheels.
This was a faster and more pleasant experience than I anticipated.

Enjoy it! I've put 183,000 miles on my '01 and the only 2 non-scheduled
items it's needed thus far are the EGR service ($350) and a wheel bearing
($225).
Other than that, nothing but fluid changes, tires, brakes and a timing belt.

Well, I know many on this Usenet group loves manual transmissions, but
spousal unit does not. So we have the five speed automatic. I know
the V6s had transmission problems for a couple of years, but I never
heard of any problems with the I4s. It shifts smoothly, accelerates
briskly, downshifts appropriately, and so forth.

I have an I4 06 coupe auto -- after owning a Prelude. Find the car very
pleasant and the I4 gives excellent performance. You don't need the V6.
