Car has so much technology. If you have one is there a way to show the artist, station & song on the display & still use the Navi screen? I'm still learning all the features. I checked the manual but didn't see it. Thanks.
Good luck.

On the RDS for the radio display i had Honda Sales Rep. email me a video on how to show the station, artist & song. He shows that on the radio mode selecting the tune function it displays the info. Hope that helps.
Any suggestions appreciated
Only because of no armrest for me (I'm 5'7 ). People who tried Altima know what I mean.
Are there any accessories that emulate an armrest for Accord?

Driving through the mountains was the first time I was aware that I was driving a 4cyl and not my V6 Maxima, which took everything in stride. The Accord also made it through easily but I was aware the engine was working harder. However, it handled beautifully especially in the downpour where there was actual ponding on the roads. It has wonderful visibility which was much appreciated in both the rainstorm and city driving. Interestingly, the rear window stayed completely dry the entire time. I also appreciated driving nearly 500 miles on 1 tank of gas, and regular, not premium.
The Accord has one feature that I learned about on this trip. I'm sure they're common on cars with push button start but it was new to me. My husband was trying to put a bag in the trunk and it wouldn't close. It also sounded a small alarm. Turned out my remote was in the bag, and the Accord doesn't want you to lock your keys in the trunk.
All in all, while I loved my Maxima dearly, I have to admit that the Accord is actually overall a better vehicle. I'm speaking strictly of driving dynamics since of course any new car is going to have many more features than were available 12 years ago.

I haven't heard much about the ILX. What's it's fuel economy like? Does it take regular or premium? Those were 2 important factors for us. Premium fuel is really expensive especially in California where we will likely retire.

I'm very frustrated that I have a new car with a radio from 1950. Has anyone else had poor sound and/or radio reception in their new Honda? Any ideas of possible solutions, since the dealer has no help to offer?
