For that you want hip and legroom, both of which come in generous quantities in the Accord. Add to that the great reliability, economy, and damn good resale, it seems like a slam dunk to me. And like you said, you can get it with a stick, which is a big plus.

I think the previous gen (2013-18) is nicer, in every way, than any Accord before it. I haven't been inside the new ones, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't in the same ballpark.
This may all be true, but I don't think JST will end up liking it. He is coming from Model S, 3-series, 5-series, M3, Golf R, 987 level cars... An Accord may be a more rational purchase than those, but that doesn't seem to be his history.
