I'm a Honda fanboy, but their engines have been far from bullet proof. Many head gasket problems with Civics,although at high mileage,as well as cracked blocks, plus all the accuator problems with Accords and CRVs. I don't know how severe the consequences are with the fuel dilution issue with the 1.5T but I'd stay away from it until it's sorted out. Honda has little history with turbos and not much with DI.

Yes.
Snick-snick, nice.
Don't drive my S10 then; the old NV1500 is worn. It may or may not go into gear, lol.

The S2000 Honda is the best shifting car ever made (in my opinion) . Especially if the rubber acoustic shift boot is removed. Leaving just the leather shift boot.
Much like the Miata's 6 speed. But with higher RPM available.

The new Accord is very ugly, so is the Civic.
Why are Hondas getting uglier with every redesign...?

My two favorite things about our 14 accord are of course the awesome shifter, and the dead nuts reliable N/A 2.4. Its big enough to make great torque and pull the car around easily. It's not running boost so i figure it can live forever with my care. A 1.5L just sounds like a bad idea for a car of this size.
The S2000 is pretty okay but is really no better than my old BMW and is nowhere near as pleasant as our old Civics, which could be shifted with a single finger.
The two best shifters I've ever experienced were those in my old MGB and in a 1965 GMC 3/4 ton 4X4 V-6.
That thing was so easy to use that you could shift up or down sans clutch with no effort at all.
Chevy should have learned from this for the Corvette, or even the Chevette.
That a 3/4 ton pickup should have had better shifting than any Corvette I've driven gives one pause.

The new bumper on the '18 accord is ***** in my opinion. I find modern Toyota and Honda cars to be weird in their designs. SUV's aren't bad.
Where is the rest of this bumper, this is ridiculous. It's going to loose the radiator with a nice size stone at 55mph!

That's how my 300ZX manual transmission is,the shifter goes directly into the transmission. It's the notchiest transmission I've ever felt,you can feel the gears meshing with every shift,but,it never ships a beat! I put a short shifter on it once,imagine multiplying the notchiness times a million haha,BUT,I could shift that thing so fast it was unreal!

Whatever it's still not compatible with stones.
Originally I thought this car was extremely ugly. The front end is growing on me a bit, reminds me of a 1980s Accord, but the back end is hideous. It's trying to look like a Mustang fastback, when it is not.
The new Accord does have that Audi-like look to it, I'm not a Honda guy but I feel the Accords were always the better looking and driving car compared to the Camry.
I haven't driven a stick in a while, but Honda has it down with how easy the clutch and gears move.

The Accords have always been sportier than the Camrys. That new red Accord would be SEXY as [censored] in a coupe!!

It looks decent, but I can see where that open grille could be a problem. I would have a screen made for it.
The Camry's of the last 15 years have screamed "I'm boring and have given up on life"
