Mrs McMike just took delivery of a 2015 Accord EX-L V6

Why the 2015? Because the 2016 Accord had nothing we wanted (facelift, ugly wheels, and Apple Carplay/Android Auto)

I drove her old car home and made her stop for some photos. That ‘03 Civic was just just fantastic. Hope we have the same amount of luck with the Accord.

I had a neighbor sneak over while we were picking it up, and make her a parking place in the driveway.

Dreamy VTEC, yo.

First thing I did after getting home. I’m really glad this was the only dealer branding they put on it. No badge, no decal.. just a plate frame. I’m a little disappointed that they only gave us two fasteners per plate, though.

Going to have Mrs McMike tell the salesman to send us four more.

My wife’s been using the car.

Remember the last few years of the Honda F1 team?

Might as well be earth’s dreams. Honda F1 or McLaren’s dreams aren’t on the list.

This just in, the emergency trunk release works great.

We don’t even get toys like that in continental Euroland. If we put something in the trunk, it stays in the trunk. :D

Figures that would be US market item. Apparently we’re stupid.

Congrats on your purchase. Just be on the look out though - occasionally the radio might freeze on you or the active noise cancellation goes haywire. It’s happened a couple times on my dad’s Accord. Shutting off the car and turning it back on will solve it.

Great. “Did you try turning it on and off again” is not something a service department should have to say.

Mrs. McMike must really like blue cars or this was the lesser evil of the 3 color options Honda seems to have now-a-days

The current accord is a pretty good car, actually.

You’re righ on both accounts. The colors are kind of bland, but she would have picked blue anyways.

The color choices are really bland. I believe the sport you could only get white, grey, not grey but not black, and black.

Nah, you just put different ... things in the trunk.

We’ve been eyeballing them for a few years, but haven’t been needing one until now.

I was relieved when the 9th gen came out, I think it looks much better than the last few generations.

Nice! I just signed the paperwork for a 2015 Accord Coupe EX, I’ll just be waiting for it to show up this week. I got a decent deal on a leftover 2015 as well!

Makes carjacking-kidnappings a little easier to escape from.

I can see that ... I just wasn’t aware that was an actual problem someone would address. ;)
