2012 Honda Accord EX-L Coupe 2-Door 3.5L 6 Speed Manual Trans w/Leather
Additional photographs at the bottom of the listing.

This coupe is practically, as new, it still has the new car smell and in like new mechanical condition.  Purchased in August 2012, it is my go south car for the winter. It has never seen snow and always garaged and covered with the included Honda Accord Full Car cover. Mechanically she is flawless.  Mobil 1 ever since the first oil change at around 1K Miles. Oil is usually time change with 80-90% oil life remaining and I only use OEM Honda Parts. Oil service due this month and tire rotation will be accomplished before buyer takes delivery. Brakes are excellent and flawless.  All interior comfort features function. The independently controlled heat and cooling work flawlessly. The fuel economy is exceptional for a car this size, she has only had 16 stops at the gas station averaging around 34MPG at legal highway speeds and gets around 29MPG around town using Sunoco 93 Octane fuel(not required but always used). It actually does better than my 07' Civic Si. You will not find a more stunning example of this car anywhere on eBay. Full description of factory equipment at the end of this listing. The full Honda bumper to bumper warranty is in effect till 09/2015.  That's 36 Months or 36,000 Miles, whichever comes first.

When this Accord Coupe was purchased, several options, I felt necessary, were installed.

Suspension and Tires:

Having owned a 2009 Coupe, always appreciated the fine mix of comfort and performance but for serious highway cruising I always felt the suspension was lacking. Toss the Accord coupe around and it will push into corners, which is to be expected from a front-wheel driver weighing in at 3,400 pounds and the factory installed all-season tires don't help.

The Honda Factory Performance (HFP) Suspension Package. Before taking delivery, the dealer installed the HFP struts, revised springs and rear control arms. Mated to the new suspension were new wheels and shoes. Not only are the HFP wheels attractive, especially with the coupe's Polished Metal Metallic paint, but functionally permitted the installation of aggressive low profile 245/40ZR19s Michelin's Pilot Super Sport Max Performance Summer Tires. I can't say enough about these tires but have included a short Michelin propaganda note at the bottom of the listing. This alone with an expert 4 wheel laser alignment (Specs Included) was $5,012.10 and is the best performance enhancement you can make to this coupe. Coupled with the last year of the Double Wishbone Front Suspension(12' last year, no longer available) and the Multi-Link Rear Suspension turns this coupe into a drama free highway cruiser comfortable at any speed. Most stunning Accord Coupe anywhere, a conversation piece no matter where I stop.

Appearance:

This 2012 Accord Coupe has a more aerodynamic front fascia. The fog lights are set into deeper scallops and a larger lower air intake and a bolder grill. At the rear, the taillights are more chiseled, their sides getting a protruding ridge that follow the body character line. Even though the updates enhance this coupes' handsomeness, I had the dealer install appearance package that really brings out her character. You just can not beat the Honda Factory upgrade components, The Body Side Molding, Molded Side Spoilers, Front Under Spoiler and Rear Under Spoiler establish a unique and aggressive appearance package all color matched to the beautiful factory Polished Metal Metallic paint. Well worth the investment of $2,752.14 and all components are warranted for the same factory period.

Overall Driving Experience:

This coupe is an absolute joy to drive. The heated front buckets are firm, logging several 12 hour days in the coupe were effortless. There's a surprising amount of room in the back seat for two average-size adults. The added Honda Interior Illumination Kit (Blue) makes driving through the night very comfortable. The Hands Free Bluetooth interface works flawlessly allowing you to conduct a conversation while on the highway.

The engine spools quickly and the throttle response is immediate from just about anywhere in the RPM band. As the tachometer needle passes 4,900 rpm, the VTEC transitions to a high-lift, long-duration intake-cam profile for exceptional power at high-rpm. No wonder Honda’s 3.5L V-6 earned its fourth Ward’s 10 Best Engines trophy since 2005. The motor is coupled to the Honda Close-Ratio ultra slick 6-Speed Manual transmission.  Going up and down the gears is a cinch with the hydraulically assisted clutch. The upgraded suspension lowers the entire car and with the Michelin Super Sport rubber provides unrivaled handling  performance for a car in this class. She feels decidedly comfortable at any speed without the hint of floating or diving. Quiet, sleek, fast, powerful, beautiful are just some of the adjectives that come to mind.  You will not be disappointed.

The Fine Print:

No matter where I park, she always draws a crowd.

2015 Honda CR-V performs poorly in Swedish AWD test [w/video]

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Swedish auto magazine Teknikens Värld has never been afraid to call out automakers when a vehicle fails one of its battery of examinations. Its famous Moose Test recently caught the Porsche Macan out, and a few years ago, there was a protracted argument between Teknikens Värld and Jeep over the performance of a Grand Cherokee in that evaluation.
This time, the 2015 Honda CR-V is raising the magazine's hackles, but it has nothing to do with avoiding a giant mammal. Snow is obviously an issue in Sweden, and Teknikens Värld has a test that challenges all-wheel drive systems in low-traction settings. On a slanted surface, the Swedes put the vehicles' front wheels on rollers with no traction and demands the rears accelerate away. The Honda couldn't do it. Teknikens Värld claims that it initially found the same result last year from the European CR-V, but Honda Sweden put out a software upgrade correcting the behavior in the test. This year, the CUV went back to failing.
While that's the magazine's side, Honda Sweden doesn't see the test as fair. In a statement to Teknikens Värld, the company explains the way the CUV's all-wheel drive system works. It also claims that the test isn't simulating a realistic situation. "In real conditions, regardless of the surface, there is a certain amount of friction always available for both front and rear wheels," the announcement says. "A scenario like the roll test with such a high difference in grip between the front and the rear wheels is highly unlikely."

Best sport sedans for 2022 and 2023

Thu, Nov 11 2021

SUVs dominate the car industry at every size and price level, but some people still prefer the looks, and more importantly, the performance and comfort, of the traditional sedan. With a lower ride height, lighter weight and generally smaller size, they often are much more fun to drive, and can even be more comfortable. Sport sedans of course lean harder on the performance side of things, and are among the best options for sheer speed and fun, thanks to those inherent characteristics. We've rounded up the ones in the segment that do the sporty dance better than any others in 2024 to give you a handy guide when you're shopping for one of your own. You'll find a wide array of cars here including gas, electric and hybrid powertrains. They'll have manual and automatic transmissions and drive the front, rear or all four wheels. Technically a few hatchbacks have slipped in, but they're close enough in look and feel that we wanted to include them. And excluding them means you might miss out on some of the best-driving options available. You wouldn't want that, would you? Alfa Romeo Giulia Why it stands out: Punchy four-cylinder; astounding power from Quadrifoglio; light and nimble character; awesome shift paddlesCould be better: Clunky infotainment; sub-par switchgear Read our Alfa Romeo Giulia review We start this list with one of the most predictable inclusions: the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Yes, it's a stereotype that the Italian sport sedan is fun to drive, but the fact is, well, it is. The Giulia comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 280 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful four-cylinders in the segment. It's paired with a snappy and smooth eight-speed transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.  The engine is lively and torquey, if a little short of revs, and the chassis feels super-light. The steering is eager and the car jumps into corners. We also highly recommend getting a version with the enormous and superb aluminum paddle shifters that make clicking through gears much more entertaining. And on the topic of the interior, it's attractive, but the various switches and knobs feels a little cheap, and the infotainment system is clunky. Of course there's also the incredible Giulia Quadrifoglio at the high end. It gets a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 making 505 hp, and it's rear-wheel drive only.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla is for Mistresses; Yo, free Smart ED rides!

Tue, Aug 26 2014

Smart used the Yo app to give free test rides to San Franciscans last week. Yo is a free app wherein users tap a username to send a notification that simply says "Yo" to the recipient. Signs at locations in the Mission and SoMa neighborhoods gave instructions to send a Yo to SmartUSA for a free ride anywhere in the city. Three of the eight Smart vehicles used for the promotion were the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. The event allowed people to see how well suited the cars are to the city, particularly when it comes to San Francisco's parking problems. It also saved users the fare of an Uber or Lyft hire. Read more at TechCrunch. Zipcar has added the 2014 Honda Fit EV to its UC Davis fleet near Sacramento, California. The cars will go to the school's West Village, a planned zero net energy community, which plans to generate as much energy as it uses within a year. "Innovations like solar power to help generate the electricity needed to charge the EV," says Dan Sperling, founding director of the school's Institute of Transportation Studies, "and fully zero emission car sharing moves us aggressively toward a sustainable future." The addition of the Fit EVs will also give cash-strapped students access to affordable emissions-free driving. Read more in the press release, below. California is one step closer to adding 15,000 new green HOV stickers after a bill was approved by the state Senate. Now the bill must go up before the California State Assembly for approval before it can be signed by Governor Jerry Brown. The bill will raise the total number of the green HOV stickers for plug-in hybrids to 70,000. Raising the cap on the green decals, which allow owners use of the carpool lanes, could encourage more California drivers to buy a PHEV. Read more at Inside EVs. The Tesla Model S made a star appearance on the ABC television show Mistresses. In the episode "Choices," the character Joss receives the car as a gift from her fiance, but is not all too happy about it, seeing it as putting her in a position of dependency. "I could never in a million years afford that Tesla," Joss complains to her friend. "How am I ever supposed to get mad at him when he can hold a Tesla over my head?" The luxury EV makes an on-screen appearance in the episode complete with an interior shot of the car's touchscreen display. See a clip from the episode below or read more at Green Car Reports.
