I know K inja probably ate half of each car in the lead image but whatever. Anyways, I’m going to do a review of the Accord LX Sedan (yes, again) but this time featuring my own Accord LX Sedan (plot twist!) to show how similar and how very different the car has be come in 15 years . Will the review come out reasonably soon or take another absurd amount of time to drop? Who knows? Sure as hell not me, motivation to complete strikes as it pleases. Either way, expect it to come sometime during this lifetime . Let me know if by any sliver of a chance you have a question you need answered regarding these two lovely hunks of metal.

Most notable difference? I’m assuming the NVH but I hope to be surprised.

After dailying mine for months and driving the new one once today, I can confirm this 1000%. Though the ride isn't exactly a floating chariot on the new one, but it's not super bad. Comes down to personal preference tbh

I have the 05 Variant, and my road noise isn't that bad tbh. It depends on like the pavements, but it rides good. Only thing I need to improve are my rear speakers. I already added bluetooth streaming, and I wish the headlights were brighter. But it was 2005 so meh..

Yeah but I’m also picky as hell lol. Going from being driven in newer SUVs and minivans my whole life to my dinky little $1k Accord, I still haven't completely adjusted. It is what it is though, I have a car and it's mine so I'm not really complaining overall. And yeah, I added a Bluetooth screen thing I got for like $100 online and put LED bulbs, and I recently blew out my speakers (don't ask) so I'm ordering some soon. Nowadays I don't drive much so it's not really a priority but whenever I get around to doing it, it's happening. Unless we trade it for that 2020 Accord Sport for my mom and I get our CR-V....

Go to crutchfield they sell a bluetooth module you plug into your CD port from behind. It works phenomenally for the past 2 years, way cheaper than that thing you got.

Oh, I know about the Bluetooth modules for cheap, I should’ve clarified I didn’t actually spend $100 on this unit and that’s what it’s valued at online. I t’s a whole screen thing that plays music, video and a bunch of stuff for when I have my lunch and tech class break at school (I’m not stupid enough to play video while I’m driving though ). My dad got it for me as a gift and won’t say how much he actually spent but that he “sure as hell didn’ t pay no full $100". It works fine and smooth and I’m sure was worth whatever discounted price my dad paid for it.

Gotchya, I wanted to put a double din. But it gets kinda pricey
