I’m referring to the Accord

Ah, my bad. That's good to hear. Like I said, the Accord is a great car. Hondas tend to have way too much road noise, glad they got it in check for this Accord.

I test drove an Accord out of curiosity. Never drove a Honda before, but I've driven my friend's 2019 Camry quite a bit. To me the Honda was absolute garbage - trash seats and a terrible ride. While the Camry is no Lexus in Comfort it's not terrible and I would be happy with one if that's my only choice. It's ride is pretty good and the seats are not bad at all. In fact they probably are not much different than my 2014 ES in comfort - considering the newer ESs don't have as much cushion to them as the ones from about 20 years ago. But the Accord or even a Dodge Charger I had to drive recently were so uncomfortable in about 10 minutes for me that I would rather find any other means of transit.

The advantage of the Accord is that it still comes in a manual. With Toyota one has to get a Corolla.

Well, I ended up buying an 07 328i, so far I'm really happy with it! It was kind of funny because the guy I bought it from had an 04 ls430 as his daily driver. I'll be putting the LS up for sale soon, hopefully I don't regret it!

Sadly, I am beginning to wonder if it is time to say goodbye to my wonderful 2004 Custom Luxury since I have been beginning to bleed money on repairs. Shocks, exhaust, side mirror, now an audio amplifier that died while the side mirror was being replaced. Thousands of dollars in repairs (that I am not qualified to do myself, which I know would be cheaper) and outrageous prices for OEM parts. I live outside the US and don’t have the luxury to get parts from a junkyard. I love the car but I am wondering what my next huge expense will be.
