After spending a month in rentals (out of pocket, ask me why!) and almost buying 2 other cars where deals fell through last minute (also wtf) , I now have a car.

It’s a 2014 Honda Accord Touring MT. It’s nice. It’s fun to drive.

It will be my daily so I can have some money left over for a fun car.

I’ve always liked that generation of Accord. Especially with the V6 6MT coupe combo in blue. Which engine does it have?

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Tapas

Quebec car? It looks like it’s missing the front plate bracket and someone just drilled the plate on directly.

Ontario car. We have our share of dumbasses.

Thats one thing that’s bothering me about it.

Dumbass drilled straight into the front bumper three times. All off-c enter!

I’m surprised the original selling dealer didn’t include the holder like they are supposed to, even the used car lot retrofitted one for me no-charge when I bought my F30.

Guess the bracket is not too, too expensive if you want to make it look more original.

Very nice! I look at these every once in a while here in the US. You can only get the manual on the sport trim here with the 4 cylinder.

Even though I can’t possibly miss your M5 as much as you do, I miss it from afar. Glad you found a DD.

Now maybe go back a generation and get an E28....

Touring came in MT? I thought the Sport was the only one that came in manual, and from the looks of this one (rims and whatnot) it is a Sport. Congrats on the purchase though, looks like you took some form of my advice lol. Looks great.

Canada gets manual in more trims then south of the border. We get a manual Civic Sport Touring HB, but that trim is auto only in the USA.

I think brackets are cheap, you could pop one on, put your favorite team and whatever and call it a day! If I need a new commuter in a few years this will definitely be on my short list. Keyless entry and creature comforts? I bet you are gonna find the perfect M5 in a few months now that you bought a car lol.

Thank you. I know what you mean....I will definitely consider that gen. I like BMWs and cars of that era.

Oh, didn't realize he was in Canada. Also didn't know the Touring up there had the same rims as the Sport but without black inserts. Either way, it's good

Looks good! The car will treat you well and free up funds for a future fun boi in the future. Good find, don’t think you could even get a manual Touring in the St ates that year.
