Default Just bought EX-L V6 2011 Accord...

So, my story is that I am 30 years old, and was a little sick of dealing with my 2004 BMW 325ci. The CPO has just expired, and I was looking at $3K in soon repairs..

I drove new 328o, A4, 250is, and a Maxima. I liked all of them, and they all were about the same price. Then, I lastly drove the Accord V6.. and was surprised. I bought it on the spot, and traded the BMW. I now have my first *new* car. 64-miles on it now! LOL.

I must say though.. I have had the car for about a week.. and I already dislike the "comfort" of the front seats.. quick google search shows MANY people say the same thing.. and in some cases they SELL THE CAR! WOW. I guess, I will just have to deal with it.. selling the car seems silly. But, other then the front seats, I love the car.

I have a question about the type of gas I should use.. I was thinking about the mid grade. I has to use premium with the BMW.. and I do want to take care of the car.. thoughts?

Don't own a 2011, but I'm pretty sure it wants regular gas (check owner's manual). The only performance improvement from mid or high comes from your wallet being lighter.
