    I see you can in 2017 still get an EX manual. I would be jiggy with that. Interesting to see how different the EPA estimate is though (23/32 vs. 27/36). I really doubt you lose that much real world. Heck, my 2005 5 speed got much better than that. I can get my RDX to pull 30 highway on relatively flat roads too.

    but, they are still doing what really annoyed me about the sport. you get a black interior, like it or not. and light gray or dark gray paint. Ridiculous IMO, but a nice car. probably a lot better ride than a Civic, for not all that much money. Though would take the Civic if they could just include the seats out of the Accord!

    at least the Civic comes in a full range of colors. And a gray interior. MSRP 4K lower, rated for better mileage. Really need to try the seats in an EX-T though.

    I would be interested how the manual is geared. My experience with Honda is there is a big difference in gearing between a manual and auto. For example, in 6th gear (I think it is a 6 sp) it may be geared to around 20 mph per 1k engine rpm. The result is it will run 3k at 60, 4k at 80. A lot of noise and loss of mpg. It does mean you don't have to down shift often when going up and down hills. With the CVT the engine runs below 2k at 60 and around 2.2k at 80. A lot quieter and good mpg as a result. I still enjoy a manual, however.

    Below Invoice price no trade in . Don't forget Jan, 1 2017 this model is a 1yr old model and has depreciated about 5k..............once driven off lot.

    Not entirely true. Depreciation also depends on mileage. One time I priced two 3 yr old vehicles with the same mileage but different model years. There was only a few hundred dollars difference.

    There must have been some additional dealer cash involved for them to go that low below cost unless it was one they just couldn't sell and wanted to dump it.

    the Accord is geared pretty long. 3K is going to give you at least 75mph most likely. My 2005 with the 5 speed was not geared all that short either.

    got ambitious, and hit google. Found a review of a 2016 Sport 6MT. Included was this: Theoretical RPM@60 mph is 1,000 RPMs with the CVT and 2,150 with the MT.

    so, if I used the calculator correctly, that puts 75 MPH at about 2,687 RPM. Not high at all IMO. Pretty sure also that is lower than it was on my 2005. Yeah, could make it a bit taller and drop that down to under 2,500, but not like my old tC Scion that was geared the same as my Miata and did turn 3K at 60. At least it made sense in the Miata.

    I would be shocked if I did not easily beat the EPA in a manual Accord, especially on the highway.

    plus, the ATs on most cars, especially the 4 cyl sedans (including my Sonata) are geared too high, and with reluctance to downshift, often lugging a lot. And at least the stick won't have a motorboat drone like a CVT!

    I remember my '92 Miata as you mention. Funny it seemed to get the same mpg around town as it did on the highway. I agree 2700 isn't too bad at 75, but if it is 3750, another matter. Hoping the gearing is more relaxed than that. Honda is known for their great shifting manuals. I would love to drive a manual EX to experience it.

    I got some Ford rubber winter mats when I bought my Fusion, but the driver's side mat is way too small.
    Went looking for those tray style mats.
    Looked at Weathertech, Husky, Michelin and Ford.
    Ordered them through FordAccessories. List was $120 for 4. They have a local dealer pricing option and I got them for $98 including sales tax.
    Picking them up at the dealer tomorrow.

    The Miata never bothered me. mainly because I rarely drove on the highway (heck, I rarely drove it at all, hence the reason I dumped it). Plus, with the top down, you did not really hear the engine. and it was smooth.

    the Scion, that shocked me. It basically had a Camry engine, but was geared like a 1969 SS396 drag pack. almost exactly the same RPMs in top gear as the Miata. No surprise, MPG was sucky. Never really liked that car. Was happy to replace it after 1.5 years with the Accord.

    I've had a couple of cars that were geared that way. It never seemed to hurt their longevity and it kept them in the power band, but made for a noisy highway ride and reduced mpg. I remember doing a 600 mile trip in my '87 VW Cabriolet and the noise from the engine spinning close to 4k hour after hour became very tiresome. Once I'm out on the highway in cruise mode I prefer less RPMs. Quiet please.

    I actually like the engine sound in my ti; it suits the car. On a more luxury biased vehicle it wouldn't be suitable.

    It seems like more '17's are rolling out late after prior years had lots of new models rolling out early. The old traditional October introduction and rollout is long gone.
  • brian125brian125 Member Posts: 5,244
    Noticed that to Berri

    Very surprised that the 17 Optima has not hit showrooms yet. Still no word ?? There are many Kia forum posters waiting to buy the 17 Optima last month in Discussions..

    Seen a new Altima silver with dual chrome tips off the back. Look sharp from my view of it. Had Texas plates on it.

    The 2017 Altima I drove base model I found it very comfortable. Feels big inside Great vehicle to lease for a bargain. What stands out that I didn't like was road noise inside the cabin . Even the tire squeal between 20 to 30 mph bothered me. Base motor was loud when accelerating. CVT worked well

    A $169 / $179 month lease with its very good gas mph makes this vehicle attractive. Camry is a better vehicle but seat comfort is awful.

    Still Say............. Accord, Sonata, Malibu, Fusion are at the top with Mazda6 for a sportier handling ride.

    Going with a friend to check out the new 2017 Maserati Levante S SUV. Should be a fun day. Hoping they have a 2017 Maserati Quattroporte on lot . A test drive is a must..

    I'll be the 1st to admit that my Legacy needs a serious boost (pun intended) in the power department. Once it gets going it has no trouble keeping up with traffic on the open road. I do have to somewhat plan my passing maneuvers. I find myself often saying: "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" as I floor the gas pedal.

    You'll appreciate this @brian125. Last week I took my 2 sons into the city for the Rangers game. My 7 year old has "to go" when we are driving down the Westside Highway. I pull off onto one of the emergency spots, he relieves himself, & cars are barreling down the Westside Highway. I say and waited for a solid 2 minutes before I could pull back onto the highway.

    Boy if I had A dime everytime I heard that one. :smile:

    Overall I know you said very good solid car. Wasn't there talks for a Turbo in the 18 legacy. The 3.5R in the Outback would make a nice upgrade engine. The legacy might be the only Midsizer that offers AWD.

    Fusion is available with AWD and has a nice turbo 4 to go with it.

    Boy if I had A dime everytime I heard that one. :smile:

    Overall I know you said very good solid car. Wasn't there talks for a Turbo in the 18 legacy. The 3.5R in the Outback would make a nice upgrade engine. The legacy might be the only Midsizer that offers AWD.

    It is a great car. Very well screwed together. Rides nice without being overly cushy. CVT works great. Easy to drive, easy on the wallet, fantastic service department, wonderful in the snow. I'm happy with the car, I just wish for 200 - 225 horsepower (300 would be ideal). Honestly, something that gets to 60 in the high 6s to 7.1 - 7.2 would be perfect for daily driving.

    I'll tell you what, if I didn't already have the 2er I'd lease a 330e iPerformance. One of the sales advisors has one; he drives to work on electric power and drives home on gasoline. He averages 48 mpg. In a car that does the 0-60 romp under six seconds and runs the quarter in the low fourteens...

    @roadburner - that 330e is RWD only? Leasing a 330e for 36 months with a 20K per year allotment can't be very budget friendly.

    I haven't checked on the exact numbers, but the lease is heavily subvented to help BMW's CAFE numbers.

    Yes, 330e is RWD only.

    2017 lease numbers are .00134 and 59% for 36/15 - extra miles are paid up front, though I don't know at what rate (.25/mile?)

    Just price the new 2017 Buick lacrosse premium 3.5 awd loaded. MSRP 50k. We are crossing into some bold territory here. Reviews look good. Base model started at 32k

    Gotta say Hyundai and Kia's upscale sedans atleast have 10/100k trans, 5/60k bumper, 7yr Anti-perforation warranty.

    Buick on a whole did move up to the 3 or 4 spot in CR best reliability brand .

    I did something similar last week. One thing they are doing that I do not like is similar to Cadillac and M-B among other manufacturers - they are using leatherette upholstery on most of the trims, with leather optional on some and standard only on the top-line models. I guess leatherette is the new cloth.

    The base model is still probably a nice car but you need to get it well into the $40K range here before you have some of the nice electronic frills. And lease residuals right now are crazy low, making it not an attractive option. I like the front end and interior styling, but the rear end and fastback profile do not thrill me.

    Where did you get these numbers? Some of them seem high, based on advertised lease deals in my area (Twin Cities). For example, the Elantra SE is available for well under $200/month for sign-and-drive, and I've seen sign-and-drive 36 month leases on the Sonata SE recently for around $200/month. Similarly on the Sentra SV and Altima S--much lower real-world leases based on 36 months, sign-and-drive.

    Above lease deals may be from Oct, they are no haggle lease deals , surely certain regions are offering better deals right now.

    If your looking for a cheap lease with good gas mpg how could you go wrong with above deals you posted for a Hyundai / Nissan . Below is the website I read often cross checking car info.

    @stickguy leased a Sonata . He had made a similar deal.

    Most really good lease deals this month on low end Hyundai , Kia, Toyota's etc will run $159 / $199 month excluding Acq fee, doc's , and taxes. Of coarse you will need to do alittle more negotiating on your end to get these prices if not a sign and drive special. .

    Ford is offering $1750 cash back on all 2016 / 17 models plus a $1000 black Friday rebate that runs till the end of this month . Plus a $500 rebate if you have a Non ford lease . Another $500 rebate for active law enforcement or 1st responders. plus the standard $500 college grad / military rebate . 0% 60 months, 1.9% 72

    Leasing incentives are very good also.

    The 2016 Expedition comes with 9k in rebate / incentive money .

    Unless the miles are discounted what would be the incentive to pay miles up front? I would just take the lease at low miles knowing I'd be paying the extra miles on the back end (if it is all the same rate).

    Buying them up front allows you to distribute the cost across your lease term, rather than writing one large check at the end of the lease.

    Maybe this can get our lively discussion going again. A dealer near where I work is advertising $5,999 or $5,998 off of every single Accord in stock. Does that mean they "stick it to you" with the trade? Definitely a good time to be in the market for a Mid Sized Sedan.

    Even without a trade I wonder how many 'gotchas' apply. If they are truly discounted that much I need to make a trip your way!

    Do those prices also work for leases, or purchase only?

    Here's a post this morning from someone who leased a 2017 EX-L sedan for $4,995 under MSRP.

    There was one yesterday in that same thread for around $3,900 off MSRP for a purchase. Don't know if they did the deal.

    That screamer ad probably doesn't include destination, so deduct that $835 and you won't be too far off from an actual sale reported on the forum.
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 50,435
    Brands dealer, I looked at link. Very clear crossing out MSRP and writing in new price. Only a disclaimer about incentives applied, and I don't think Honda is too bad there. Even if that was a scam $1k, 5 large off a new 2017 is a screaming deal. Enough to get me to drive in the Bronx even, and that rakes a lot.

    Take what ever model Accord 2017 you want and subtract 2500 to 3k off invoice price. That would be what your looking at to buy/ lease in DC, MD , VA area at the end of DEC

    NJ ? NY Accords are selling at 1500 to $2000 below invoice with your states 299 to 399 doc fee.

    NY doc's are capped at $75

    I wish there was a similar cap on doc fees in NC/SC. Some dealers are charging close to $1k, with most around $500-700. Shame on them. I ask before making any negotiation what their doc fee so I can discount it in my offer.

    That's one benefit of using Ford X plan. Dealer can't charge more than $100 doc fee (or the state allowed amount if that's lower).

    I was talking to one salesman about a used car for a relative and I said so that's the price plus tax, tag and title? He said yes, except for the doc fee which you probably know about. I said yes but I call it additional dealer profit. He just laughed.

    Took me over 3 weeks to go through the 2nd tank of gas in my Fusion.
    Went further, but took an extra gallon, so 26.6 mpg.
    Had to deal with a lot of traffic, several times I didn't bother with the highway on the way home from work.

    I filled my car up a week ago (11/30). According to my log, my previous fillup was on 10/31.

    Just over 300 miles on the tank in a month.

    When this lease is up, I may not replace it, and drive the wife's car when it's available (her and my daughter commute together, and they take turns driving)

    @Michaell,
    For some reason, I need to have an extra car around.
    I think it goes back to the 70's gas crisis when you could only get fuel every other day.
    Back then, I had a 75 mile per day round trip commute.
    It did help me get through the worst of the very high prices we had in '08.
    That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)
