Hmmm, The one thing among many that I love about my Accords... EVERYTHING I can guarentee the car drives better, handles a bit better and does everything a touch better than one 10+yrs ago. Ive moved in these cars. Ive picked up and dumped xmas trees in the trunk. Ive never gotten stuck and always always have a lot of fun. LEADFOOT speaking!
The engine is in the same direction as my 92. The fuel and trunk pulls are in the same place. The dash looks better, with more lights. The stalks are in the same place with more features. The lock for the trunk is still in the same place. Virtually everything about virtually every Accord stays in the same place and is upgraded, re-aligned and or made better.
Now off of my.. soapbox.. I recommend the 7th Gen Accord.. because its going to be persoanlly hard for me to recommend the 8th.. due to the fuel economy. Ive had 4's in both of my cars, and they always did nicely.
The Altima of last gen had some teething issues.
Camry is for people who dont "drive".
Accord.. is for as I believe "DRIVERS".
I personally dont have children but I view the Accord Sedan as a perfect vehicle. Plenty of room for trips wherever. Plenty of leg room to stretch out, and a great seating position.
No lack of power, cornering and or handling. Ya can drive like grandma, or like ya stole it. Its an Accord, a solid powerful car.. all the way around.
