First Time Honda Owner
 

I get my new ride this Saturday (18 Feb 12). A new 2012 Accord EX-L 2.4L

I narrowed the field to either a Honda Accord EX-L or a Jetta TDI Premium+Nav. Both cars have their merits but after driving them both for the second time (within an hour of each other), I felt the Honda was a much more solid car with no squeaks or vibrations. The handling of the Honda in corners was superior to the Jetta. The Jetta did have push button start/stop, nav, fog lights, and tiptronic transmission but it just did not feel as solid and I would likely never use the tiptronic shift option anyhow. The Jetta gets outstanding fuel mileage, but German cars are very expensive to maintain and the resale value of a Honda is excellent. The Honda sound system I felt was superior to the Jetta's.

So.......I chose the Accord. I've never owned a Honda and I hope it's as good as everyone raves about. I'll soon know.:)

Hello New Member
 

I'm sure that the majority of us in here would agree on your choice, so enuff said there..I've driven the new passat and I like the feel of that car also.

I think you'll be happy with your choice.
Thanks You for joining the HAF... :D

Yes, you are right. Japanese technologies are superior than German.
