I have owned Hondas in the past, my first car was an Accord (1992). So when I needed to purchase a reliable car, I went back to the Accord. How times have changed. The first thing I noticed is the build quality has gone down hill (cheap plastics, rattles in strange places etc.). I had to replace my "battery" at 15K miles (what they consider a battery) and have just replaced the rear brake pads and rotors at 29K miles. To me, it seems like Honda has started cheaping out. This will be my last Honda, until they start putting some quality back into their vehicles. It is plenty fast and handles well despite what some magazines say. Yes it is a little big but it drives small. The VCM and grade logic are good features but can get annoying if you don't know how to manipulate them. Ours is white and it stays cool in the heat. The AC is great and so is the sunroof. I wish there was a back-up camera and Bluetooth but they aren't really needed as the visibility is great and you shouldn't be on the phone while driving anyways.

Hello, I purchased this car in 2006 as my first new car purchase. I took several months researching, test driving, and comparing my perfect car. Based on all the benefits of the car and the purchase price I decided on the 2006 Honda Accord LX. This car is a V6 engine with over 220 Horsepower, everything power, moon roof, 6 disk cd changer in the dashboard, and leather interior. Everything I was looking for in my first car. One of the biggest sale points was the great value and stylish body and interior. The final cost was just over Twenty Five Thousand. Compared to other family size vehicles this choice was loaded. Overall this is a great car and would recommend it any time.
