The 2005 Accord EX is a great car for the price.  It has a smooth engine and Transmission and it's very comfortable. I bought it new and all I've had to do is change the oil and rotate the tires in 4 years.  Never a problem with it.  I've owned many cars in the past but this one gives you the best bang for your buck.  Yes, you could spend 10-15k more and get something  sexier, but why?
