Default Trying to put my VW in the past and enjoy the Accord

After two years of total B***Sh** I finally got rid of my 06 GTI for an 08 Accord coupe. I had so many service issues, rattles, etc. I just need to chill also, I sped constantly in the GTI. I think it had the potential to get better mileage than my Accord but it had the speed and I used it thereby causing me to average only 23mpg roughly. Anyway I am loving it and have been struggling to get 30mpg with all the rush hour commuting. It's comfortable and my girl loves the fact I finally have heated seats. Here it is....




PS. I can't imagine how many on this site look like mine....my GTI seemed to be one of a kind, but oh well!

put a 2.0 FSI in this car, chipped up to 240-260hp and we'd have a hell of a machine....the gti handled great, and was quick, its just ashame everything else about it sucked....I hope to get an M3 down the road....speed and luxury, I think service is supposed to be good also. I hope to have that 911 turbo or GT3 though ahah....the best combination of sport and luxury.

I want a GT90. What is an FSI? No chips on Honda's.
