I didnt buy a Scatpack based on its mpg. I bought it based on spg (smiles per gallon)
I'm just curious, because I may be going this same direction early next year. Accord to Scat pack... I just love the sound and looks of the car...

If you’re daily driving it.... depending on your driving habits and distance, you can easily spend $50 every 4-5 days. My Accord was a fuel sipper (almost hybrid like) in comparison. But I’ll tell you what... this fkn car is just awesome. It makes driving fun again. Truly.

I took a ride last night. Ran out of road at 145... it just pulls like a freight train. A Hellcat is even more insane!

It scares me how fast one can "theoretically" get to 157MPH on US27...
it also scares me how much of the 20 pistons of braking force are needed to bring that fat bitch back down from warp speed.

The gas annoys me...for sure...but I agree...I look forward to driving every time I turn it on.

My commute is 40 miles a week. I'm sure I'll have the kids more often in the scat pack because I can probably fit 3 easy. Right now I can't fit them in the Accord, but, it's a tight fit.

I'm buying a van in August, so that's my first priority.

The dealership I take my Jeep to for service has a Trackhawk in the show room. The window sticker says 11mpg city, 17mpg hwy, 13 mpg combined and I'm pretty sure it chugs premium too. There better be a hell of a lot of smiles to trade for those miles...

I need sliding doors. Dumb fucks in Cali don’t know how to park in between lines and I can’t get my daughter in because of them. Even parking away from the store, I still have idiots who park out there too.

3 years in So Cal with the Durango and 2 kids....I have one teeny barely visible ding over a wheel well that happened who knows when. But I ALWAYS park in BFE and never have any issues....knock on wood.

Was offered over $30k for the Charger and a significant discount on the Si. I was then offered near what I paid for the Si and over $5k off of the Accord.

loved the Scat, didn’t drive it much. Loved the Si, became tired of the 6spd. The Accord? Love every single aspect of it

Totally didn’t expect that either. The new accord is great though!
