Default So I picked up a 2015 Honda Accord Sport

I was in the market for sometime looking at various options for a midsize sedan. Looked at the new 2016 Camry SE almost bought it but wanted to explore my options and went and looked at the 2016 Accord which is simply exquisite in sports guise. The pricing is currently pretty high for the 16 Accord, however another dealer offered me a deal I couldn't refuse on a left over15 Accord sport. I was able to get it at 21,300 OTD, really enjoying the car and has a bit of dare I say premium car feel to it. If anyone is looking for a car in this segment I believe now is a good time to purchase being that it's almost end of the year. Here are some pics : )



Obsidian Blue





18 inch sport rims





Prior to closing on the deal

Congrats! Always a smart choice. I would have however waited for the improved and spruced up 2016's price to drop. Only would have been two or three months and the deals will be extremely aggressive.

Congrats, I think the '15s look better than the new '16s anyway, so great pick up.

Congrats! Best value in the segment, and thousand times better than the Camry!

Yeah the 16's are nice, I just needed the car right away and Hondas financing for well qualified buyers is great for the 2015 models. They are offering 0.9% for 60 months or 1.9% APR for 72 months. Plus the fact the 16's have the 19 inch rims which I feel the tires would be really expensive to change if needed. The financing and the price was really good I thought on the 15 accords.

I believe Toyota has 0% APR Finance currently for the new Camry. The Honda earth dreams engine I feel is far superior to the Camry after having driven both. Great performance and excellent gas mileage. As much as I love Toyota's I just couldn't pull myself away from the Accord after driving it.

Not to forget the front end of that Camry is atrocious. Absolutely hideous. Good choice. Although I like a softer ride so perhaps Camry would better suit me. That front end though. Ugh.

Great choice, I would have done the same. The According aged well & will never feel out of style. Do them still offer MT on the Accord?

Congrats! I really like the engine in the Accord. It gets ridiculously good fuel economy for a large family sedan. It's a rare feat, but the Accord's smaller engine actually generates more torque at a lower RPM than the Camry's 2.5L. A manual transmission is still an option.

Congratulations. An Accord is one of the safest auto investments you can make from a reliability and resale value point of view.

Best looking non luxury family sedan.

It has great presence on the road in Sport trim - looks more premium than RLX lol.
