This would have been good reason enough for me to get the 2 door myself...
By the Way, Welcome to the forums ...

 

I have the 4 cyl EX-L AUTO and have no complaints. I walked into the dealership after I saw it on their website. I had arrived the day before and I KNEW it wouldn't be there long. I went in that night and got it.

 

I have my 4 door because i have a 5 year old and a 1 1/2 year old, but for some reason i like the looks of a 4 door better just more car to love...lol

 

SunburntAccord, nice ride. I also don't have a problem with sedans. In fact I'm trading in a 2000 Galant V6 with a tein-kyb setup. I'm just not a fan of the current model sedan.

 

Thanks for the welcome WheeelBrokerAng. But...

...Man, I shopped some more but no dealer within 50 miles has a stickEX coupe.

I was at the delearship again last night to confirm my color option. It's still silver for me. They can only order once a month. The order is going out next week and the wait time is 10 weeks. I know, it's crazy! I guess nobody walks in to buy a stick anymore.

 

live2rice, do you know if accords will be fitted with the H22 this year?

 

Honda would not make the I4 coupe in "stick"...

So last month I went and bought a gray LX-P sedan auto instead. I know... it's a totally different car. But since I cannot get the car I wanted, I settled at this time for the one that fits a family with 2 kids the best.

After 800 miles, here's a report on the car.

Things I like about it:
- slick front-end styling.
- enough power for both city and highway
- power driver seat, alloy wheels, security system and pop-up trunkon the LX-P
- $2k off sticker + TTL, and best deal I could get for my trade-in
- roomy backseat
- the autoarmor protection package I bought that includes paint sealant,
undercoat and interior stain protection
- 24 mi/gallon on my first tank
- 87 octane requirement
- precise steering feel
- sporty "enough" suspension
- all-black interior


Things I hate/don't like:
- The hump on the trunk lid. I might put a lip/spoiler to fix this.
- the center console is made of cheap plastic. i hear it cracking when going over
small bumps on the road. I might take this off and put a dampener behind it
- the backseat is not a 60/40 split
- my toyota tacoma truck shifts smoother
- no compass/outside temp
- the thermostat or ac/heat control is way too far too the right of the panel
- to use both front cupholders, I have to slide the elbow-rest back, making it
unusable
- "grabby" honda brakes, noticeable going downhill. This is my 5th Honda.
3rd auto. All my autos did this.

Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. No buyer's remorse here.

 

Someone will put an H22 in it! Not Honda though ...... that motor hasn't been used in a while .... it was basically replaced with the F23 and now with the K24. K24 is a better motor than the H22. It just doesn't screem as high pitched because it's a longblock.
