NEW TO FORUM AND HONDA - 4/15/2007 3:44:14 PM    gtboiii   Posts: 5 Joined: 4/15/2007 Status: offline Hey everyone my name is Dan and for my entire life I have driven Chevrolet.  About a month ago I got rid of my 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt SS/SC to buy a 2005 Honda Accord Couple with a 5 speed transmission.  It was hard for me to make the change but Im sick of the mechanical problems Chevy brings to the table.  It will be nice talking with you all.

So why did you get rid of the Cobalt?  Those little SS/SC numbers are pretty quick, I hear. _____________________________ 1994 Accord LX four door Bomz SRI w/ K&N filter 194k miles (in reply to gtboiii) Post #: 2

Im sure you are enjoying the Accord now though _____________________________ 1994 Accord LX four door Bomz SRI w/ K&N filter 194k miles (in reply to gtboiii) Post #: 4

RE: NEW TO FORUM AND HONDA - 4/15/2007 5:49:55 PM    poser_pilot6 Posts: 1036 Joined: 11/2/2006 Status: offline Mine has always been great.  I have had it for about 55k now, and the only things I had to do beside oil changes is the front axles at 150k miles, and brake pads at 160k miles, and clean my EGR ports a few months ago.  Other than that, it has been a totally trouble free car.  I love it. _____________________________ 1994 Accord LX four door Bomz SRI w/ K&N filter 194k miles (in reply to gtboiii) Post #: 6
