    was that a for sale sign in the back of the pri? Saw an ad here for civic lease $49./mo. might be the lowest ever on a car lease. great deal for a young person on a limited budget.

    Is that a 2007 Accord? It looks just like my wife's. We really enjoy that car.

    Hello. It's a 2005 4 cyl automatic, the year they put side seat and fr/rear head curtain airbags in all trims of Accord.

    We took a drive out to Pacifica yesterday....

    Accord's steering and turning feel is really nice. Corners pretty flat. Good overall ride. Definitely quieter inside than Prius. Dr seat / steering wheel position is very good.
    I wish my Prius was a lot more like that. Prius definitely has the advantage on drivetrain and brakes sophistication.

    Yea, I would love to have the ride features of the Accord in my Prius. I am hoping Honda can work out their hybrid issues with the new Accord Hybrid. I would love to have that be my wife's next car.

    Done two fillups on the Accord so far, and as you might guess, the Prius basically gets twice the fuel economy of the Accord, 52 vs. 26

    :eek:
