So my parents bought a new accord

Matt, refer to my thread below. I'm looking at ome too, but a 4 banger one. The grey is a very nice colour. Did they get the NAVI?

Not sure about the Navi mike I will have to tell you tomorrow, we pick up the car from a dealer in Burlington. We were originally going to go with the 4 banger but got a good deal on the v6.

That seems to be the norm lately on some of Hondas new stuff.
My old man recently had a issue with his new CRV.

I like the new Accords, especially the sedans. Congrats on your parents' purchase.

Links to these forums? I've had trouble finding forums for the new generation Accord.

I am not sure about the above quotes. I have been "following" quality "issues" with Honda and from my sources, I don't see the quality being any worse. If anything, it is getting better but maybe complaints are getting ****** out faster?

Of course, I believe there have been problems but there are very, very few cars that are "perfect". Also, it is normal for the first year after a "Full Model Change" for cars to have "bugs". It doesn't matter the manufacturer.

pffft please, Hondas are still solid as a rock. and besides even if there are issues, Honda is the sort of company that takes care of it, not like all the other companies that run and hide behind the fine print. they step up and fix it.

For sure.

Our 01' civic had a tranny problem and needed to be replaced. We were 10k out of warranty and they still went ahead and replaced the tranny under warranty.
