I do like having the lights on as I approach the car, but they turn off after 10 seconds, so unlocking the doors too far away will get you put in the dark by the time you get to it!
As for the Big Key, my VW key is one of the switch blade style. I carry it all alone and the rest of my keys are on their own ring.
I took your advice, and now my jaws are locked.
Push the trunk button and your jaws will open. Just don't push the remote start button; we can't be responsible.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Still waiting for my dealer to get their key cutting machine fixed so they can cut this key for me though. :shades:
Does anyone know the safety features on the 04? Would it have traction control etc.? OR do you think the 07 would be more safe with the VSC?
For some reason I think the old ones don't look as "family sedan like" for some reason. Maybe because I have seen more on the road. This one actually has a wing.
One of my friend's said you can always save money buying private.
Plus, you'll probably get cheaper financing on the newer one if you are going that route.
Just my $.02

As for looks, that is subjective, but I sure like my Royal Blue, with some fine rims. I kinda prefer simple lines to cars. That said, the CTS is odd enough to be very interesting. Personally, I think the Accord designs hold up well over time, as they are classy and smooth.
As for saving money buying used, I believe it to be so true of American makes of cars, as depreciation simply hammers the price down. Buy Japan makes new, and domestics used, and ya pretty much have it made. And you will have a warranty.

I too am impressed with the power, and smoothness. When looking at cars, it came down to getting a price on the Aura and the Accord. Now, I am glad I got the Accord SE V6. The Aura XE is not a bad car, but the deal would have been a bad one. It would have cost more, and I would not have the resale value and the smooth Accord six. The Aura XR engine is pretty good, but the price jumps quite a bit. The bang for the buck is in the Accord V6 deals these days.

Actually everyone pays the same destination charge on new cars whether you live 10 miles or 1000 miles from the factory.
IMHO, OTD prices are worthless because taxes and registration prices vary from state to state.
Absolutely worthless.
The best way to show the price so as to make it meaningful to others is:
Negotiated price for car...
Delivery cost..............
Plus options...............
Sub Total..................
Doc fees...................
Tags.......................
Sales Tax..................
Grand total................
Less rebates (if any)......
OTD price..................
To get the right pictures I needed, I had a friend drive the car while I stood in different places and filmed it. (I'll post pictures on carspace later). He then drove some more to take us back to my house, since I had camera equipment to deal with and work to do. He got out of the car talking about how "incredibly solid" it felt. This coming from the driver of a GM truck in the past, and currently, a newish Nissan Maxima. He liked the weighty steering, and just seemed generally impressed with the quality. He had never before driven a Honda, only Nissan cars and GM full-size trucks.
Just thought I'd post these rather unbiased remarks about the Accord. It's not a lot of info, but I thought it would be nice to share.
Last weekend, I had to go to a retreat and my wife TOLD ME that she wanted to drive the Accord, and I could take the 'old' car. "Yes Dear!". This is a woman that could care less what she drives, so long as it gets her from A to B.
When I got home from the retreat, she didn't comment on the car to me, but I asked my son 'what Mom thought'. He replied, "Mom Loved the car. She wants to drive it on days that you don't take it to work". She thought it handled very nice, the seats felt firm and comfortable (cloth seats), and she really likes having the audio controls on the steering wheel. My daughter felt the rear seating was roomy and comfortable.
I'll post my gas mileage figures the end of next week, in the Gas Mileage thread.

Exactly. Poor Accord. :sick:
This is how our speed-shifting friend's Accord will likely be running in a couple of years, at that rate. Take note, the car in the video is 18 years old (probably 17 when the video was shot).
One young punk (on another forum) was revving his automatic, then dropping it in drive (trying to destroy it), so his parents would pay for a manual swap. This was an 04 Accord less than one year old at the time. Then the parents are upset because Honda will not cover the transmission under warranty, and tell everyone they know Honda makes crappy transmissions.
I believe the manual says that you should be okay after 600 miles.
'11 GMC Sierra 1500; '08 Charger R/T Daytona; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c; '20 S90 T6; '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel; '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '08 Maser QP; '11 Mini Cooper S
Thanks!
Here is what I was quoted below from the internet department of a Honda dealership in Ohio.--
Our Out the Door Price (OTD) with all taxes and fees is below.
Vehicle Price = $20,628
Lien, Title, Reg., Doc. Fees = $275.50
6.5% Sales Tax = $1,357.07
OTD Price = "$22,260.57
Though I'm no expert on the V6's, people were saying $20,500 was good, but IDK if it was with destination (20.5 falls in a gray area). Invoice on that car (auto i assume?) is $21,043, so I thought you'd find $750 off if you pushed ($20,300). Not sure. My advice is to review the posts in that forum, search recently for SE V6's, and see what's been thrown around as a good price.
Good luck with your soon-to-be new car!
