There are two very good pieces of news---

First, I bought a 2005 Honda Accord, 4 door, 5 speed manual, sedan.
Second, the Nissan POS that suffered horribly from old car disease in a hundred different ways is sold and out of our lives.

I did a lot of homework for this car - I wouldn't say I'm **** but I am cautious with my salary. This car is and has been such a postive development and the fact that I haven't had millisecond of buyers remorse tells me that all is right.

We held our noses for about 8 years with a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder that wormed its way into our lives through a complicated family issue. A few years ago I went into a very resigned I'll-drive-it-till-it dies attitude - even though it shook our internal organs like it was on a timber road. I was getting a bit embarrassed with it since in Toronto, as in most cities, new and shiny is favoured over old and dull.

Great to have a smooth ride.

 

Ooops - signature block is wrong - 5 Speed Manual.

Cheers

welcome to the forum...hope you enjoy the 05 accord. do you plan on doing anything to it or just leaving it like it is?

 

I have added a 1 1/4" hitch (for a bike rack) and bought some of the OEM roof racks (they work well). I am considering/saving for a bug deflector and new wheels and tires. The plastic factory wheel covers look pretty bland.

I am on this voyage of discovery with this new car and will probably thing of a few more upgrades over the next few months.

Any upgrade suggestions?

I am not into super big bling (chrome wheels are too far) - just want to get my brother in law drooling a bit (he is a great guy - he just has a new/shiny fixation and I want have a car he envies at least once).
