Trading in my perfectly fine Hyundai for a 2015 Honda Accord Sport (con manuel) that we got as a lease return. I moved it around the dealership and instantly fell in love with it.

Also I got a nice job at a Honda dealership recently, maybe in a couple of years I’ll get a Civic EX-T or Fit Sport.

Your goal is a Civic?

Is it the 2 door model? I know they are out there but I NEVER see the 2 door accord sport. Great looking car!

Do. It. Unless there’s a manual 2nd gen TSX available, then do that. Same drivetrain, more features, and a bit more power.

I do like those Accord Sports...

The Sport trim was only on the 4-door.

Honestly, I think I prefer the looks of the Accord much better. The 1st gen TSX however, would be fantastic.

I don’t think Honda has ever made a 2 door Sport trim. Ever since it was introduced it has been on the sedan only.

I agree, this guy also traded it in for a 2018 Accord Sport, holy shit it beautiful. In black it looks so sleek, until the moment it gets dirty lmao.

Is that a bad thing?

Didn’t they? I thought I have seen one before

I can’t agree with you if it’s a 2015. They ruined the grille (and, given the grille on the TSX, that’s saying something). If it had been a 2012-13, sure.

It was the pre-facelift version.

Oh, yeah, I like those. The facelift was where they added that stupid chrome grille they have on everything now.

You might have seen one with Honda Factory Performance (HFP) add-ons.

Maybe that’s the case!

More importantly, the face-lift added this...

The funny thing is I saw a 1st gen TSX with a set of those wheels the other day and thought “you know, I bet those were black market...”

02/18/2018 at 21:26

I thought the exact thing when I saw them on a 2008-2012 Accord Sedan. Also I don’t like those wheels for some reason...

Why so?

02/18/2018 at 21:37

I don’t either. They look like cheap aftermarket wheels.

Which is precisely why people want to to steal them it seems.

It’s supposed to be a really great car and the manuals are pretty rare. I say go for it if the price makes sense.

Not a bad decision. Just think how well the Accord will hold it’s value compared to the Hyundai.

Not really. Just seems rather a practical choice for an Oppo. I’d like to have a Viper ACR in a few years, yet odds are I’ll end up with a Honda but the Viper is more fun to think about.
