Already paid for with title so I added a few parts just for boredom. Can't seem to leave anything alone. Already changed CVT fluid twice with castrol transmax CVT fluid. Already got redline 0w20 in there too. Added a ultra racing strut bar and gave the factory one to someone who had an LX that didn't come with one.

so how do you like your car overall? I see you have the Honda sensing feature, my EXL has it too, what do you think about it?

Also, congrats on being car debt free!

It's like having the wife in car telling me how to drive. Sometimes I swear it detects lines that aren't there. Put less than 1,000 dollars in bolt on parts and am done. Now it's fresh redline oil and Castrol CVT fluid every oil change. Might splurge and get a aftermarket away bar and Alpine speakers but I'm done doing anything else.
 
I used the Honda HC2 CVT fluid. I have used the Castrol in a high mileage Altima with good results.
The '17 Accord Sport is a great car. Mine had leather seats. I sold it when I got the GS.
You will love it.
 
Excellent cars, but horrible paint. This car should treat you very well, it sounds like you will keep it well maintained. I would recommend keeping up on the wash / wax routine if your into having the paint last.

or finding a car on the road that its not there; I like your analogy!

Overall I like mine too; I think its a well build with long life ahead as long as you do maintain it and do not wreck it; However, just like any other car out there, the 9 generation has its good and bad things; Not to make the list but 'ill just state its one deficiency here and that is its front seats at least in my case; Seats of leather, firm and tiny; We have '16 CRV and seats are straight from TSX and very comfortable. bolstered, keeping your body in its place; So Accord EXL ride is very firm and on the line of annoyance, I can only imagine how those sports edition Accords ride with those 19" wheels;

I'm coming from '08 Mazda6 to Accord and that car was more of a GT car while this one is consider to be a sports like car imo
 
The 9th Gen Accord is a great car. I had a 2013 EXL sedan and it was flawless during the time I owned it. Honda gave it their all on this generation. The 8th Gen was cheaply put together from my experience with them.
 
New Yokohama Avid Ascend Tires and MPRP resonator also added. Currently around 75,000 miles.

Nice work by you. Please describe the benefits you got from the Borla exhaust and the S/S resonator.
The Borla system has lighter,smaller, and shinier turbo mufflers that give it a distinctive sound. I only upgraded to the MBRP resonator ( https://mbrpexhauststore.com/r1015-mbrp-resonator-2-25-inlet-outlet-22-body-26-overall-t304/ ) because I wanted to clean up the underside, add more flow/growl and am in the process of replacing the two braces underneath to stiffen it up even more ( https://throwdownperformance.com/co...r-brace-2013-17-accord-sedan-only-ur-ml4-2793 ) . Sound right where I need to be. The K&N intake with AEM filter matches it well on the topside.
