I honestly like that orange color. It's something different. They all look like oversized upside down bathtubs to me though. That smooshed in front end and wicked high rear just throws off what could have been a nice sporty sedan.

The accord Sport def looks better than normal. it's just the lackluster handling and boringness of every single thing it does that annoys me. I can't throw my civic into a corner without it wanting to roll or understeer like a cow. And shifting through 5 gears just to stay at 2k rpm going 30mpg is annoying as shyt.

honda should do something about the civic si's handling. i thought they revised it on the 14+

the accord sport is more for a middle aged guy i think? but i do agree from an excitement perspective, does not have the wow factor like the IS350 F-sport. but then when you're comparing a 25k car to a 50k car, that's a win for honda.

I have an M8 too....

Question, has yours gotten hot enough to melt off the HTC rubber logo on the back of the phone?

They changed the visual styling to be less annoying and crappy on the 14's, but handling is the same. Why make vents in the front bumper if they're not even functional??? I r confused....

lol it's an Accord and a sedan at that. Lackluster handling and boringness are just part of the package. But it's my wife's car, so I don't have to care

But the sport actually had less roll than the coupe thanks to a front tower strut brace (it's tiny compared to the Z's lol). And all their automatics are CVTs. So I find it quite humorous that it has paddle shifters

They're def not bad cars by any means. i just think calling any car a "sport" model should warrant "sport" qualities. A sport model should have a tighter suspension instead of heated leather seats

It's the sport version of that particular model. You have to compare the sport qualities of the Accord sport to the non-sport Accord.

The Accord sport has much better handling than even the Accord coupe much less the sedan. And no leather seats - not even an option. Only thing leather is the steering wheel.
