It’s not an automatic.
It’s not an suv. |

I do occasionally see manual Accords around. Not often, but it happens. |

At least in DC, they are. Or they are no better. They are not interested in taking the time to sell you a car, because they figure that you're already interested because Honda, but they also have the mass-market dealer mentality of "how much do you want to spend per month" driving the entire conversation.
Put it this way: I've had a lot of really bad dealer experiences, but the Honda dealer is the only place I got into a screaming fight so bad that they threatened to call the police and I begged them to do so. |

My FIL tried to work for a Honda dealer as a salesman recently. Got all the way through training and then learned the insane hours and personal financial commitment they expected of him. I imagine it is worse to work for them than to buy a car from them.
Although, back in the day when I bought two Hondas, each time was an excruciating experience with all the terrible cliche car sales tactics applied. Last edited by wdc330i; 10-17-2017 at 01:12 PM. |

This guy goes over the car pretty good as well. He tests the manual sport about half way through. Looks good for what it is.

For most for a lot of us on this board I sort of agree with Bren unless you set your standards very low. Honda accord even with a stick will be pretty boring after you have been driving M's and Porsches.
