Honda Accord - 2005 — 

I purchased my 2005 Honda Accord Coupe (V6, 6-speed manual transmission) in late 2004.  I have always been the type to get tired of a car after about 2 or 3 years and I start looking for a new one... not so this time.  I love this car.  It is fun to drive, it is very attractive, and I get about 28 miles to the gallon during my everyday driving.  I constantly have people telling me how much they like my car... the lady at McDonald's is practically drooling every time she sees it.  My two labs even enjoy riding in the back seat (I throw a blanket down to keep them from ripping the leather seats).

The only draw-backs:

1) I don't like leather seats (they burn my legs in the summertime) and the model I got only comes with leather.  

2) The tires are expensive when you have to replace them (the car came with 17" rim, low-profile Michelin's).  Although the tires lasted to a little over 50,000 miles before I had to replace them... worth the extra money.

I plan on keeping this car until it dies or we decide to expand the family (and I need more than 2 doors)... VERY happy customer!!!
