She replaced her 2013 Crosstrek (which I told her not to buy in the first place and turned out the be a colossal piece of shit) with an Accord Sport like the one below.
It’s slow. A good bit slower than anything than I’m used to driving. But being slow isn’t really an issue because it’s not what this car is about. Yeah, it has a bunch of body roll and the CVT isn’t great but, it’s a great car for my mom and two siblings to get around in and it will keep going . I pushed it a little on the back roads and it was comfortable carrying momentum, the ride is quiet-ish and the seats are fine. Acceleration is an issue but, whatever. I didn’t love it but neither does my mom. It’s all about getting where she needs to go reliably and the Accord will definitely do that.

I thought Crosstreks were good cars, though.

Not from my experience. I’ve known 2 people with them and both have had transmissions replaced, one CVT and one manual, both had oil consumption issues too. My mom’s had to get the engine replaced at 40k miles.

I just got rid of my 14 Accord Sport 6MT. It was a great car. No, it wasn't the fastest, but with the manual, it definitely had some pep and was fun to drive for a family hauler. Absolutely tons of room, a very comfortable ride while still providing at least some good handling characteristics, great on fuel. A little lacking in creature comforts (had dual climate control, but that was about it for features). Definitely a solid car, I just wanted something a little more sporting for a daily driver.

I don’t know what “sport” Honda had in mind... B ridge? Mahj ong ? but it’s clearly false advertising. I buy H ondas for low maintenance, reliability and forgiving the errors of young drivers, but not for any hope of out-running a UPS truck with a tail wind.

I have no idea what makes it the sport but, it has the badge on the back. It’s a fine car and I always suggest Hondas when people want something simple that works.

That gen Accord Sport was by far the quickest NA 4 cylinder family sedan when it came out, not that long ago . Surprised you find it that slow. Maybe it just doesn’t feel that quick?

Could be that I’m used to the Mustang and I have a 330xi. I also drive a Focus ST semi-regularly, my grandfather has an M2, E36 M3, and 2 E30 M3s. I’m just spoiled with speed and am not used to the economy life.

Sad thing is that they aren’t the most exciting either. Would be able to put up with some issues if it were the only thing out there that could the job and be fun too.
