We traded the 09 tsx and the 05 is300. The is needed something in the rear brakes to keep it from squealing, the hvac was making an unnecessary noise, the headlights were shifty, and the engine was leaking oil into the plugs. The tsx needed front brakes, rear pads, upper control arm and a new alignment. So they both got traded in on a 2017 accord sport SE. The apr was great and it rides like a dream.So now we are down to two cars; a 2010 4runner and this.
It has the 19" wheels and leather, that is about it.

Congratulations, I had a 2016 for almost a year and it was a great car to me in the short period that I had it. Get the sport grille, it will totally transform the front end of the car.

Also, make sure you do everything in your power to protect your wheels. There seems to be endless stories of them getting stolen.

The only good looking Honda in production. Very nice!

kurtatx

The Accord is really a great automobile

Congrats, those Sports are good looking cars... Enjoy!!

Best looking car Honda has made in a long time. Nice pickup. Sad to see the TSX gone though. Another OG TSX gone. I know you will stick around though.

Congrats man, love the Accord Sport!

Looks like you picked a good time to get it before the 2018's arrive. I'm not sure how I feel about their latest redesign - there seems to be a lot of hate on it...especially with the current gen being so popular.

Looks great
Only thing I would change is for a 6MT. How's the CVT?

dallison

I was thinking about one, but i really get tired of shifting in city traffic. The cvt really isn't too bad.

Jakes_tl

Good thing you got the 2017 accord because the 2018 is just butt ugly! How many miles were on your IS?

dallison

the is had 162k. It required some work that i no longer felt like doing.

dallison

I will say that i love driving this thing. The base radio is just loud enough for my damaged hearing. Using the i-pod is easy to use. Even having 19" wheels, the ride is not rough. I drive highway and back roads and the cvt trans. really works well for my drive. At 70 mph, i get over 35 mpg. This thing is really quiet too.

The 17 Accord is one of my favorite Accords of all times. I swear that the coupe, 2008 to present (don't know which Gen that is), should have been an Acura. Congrats! The Sport sedan looks sweet as well!

Sarlacc

I think the civic sedan is the best looking Honda right now.

Congrats and welcome to the 9.5 gen Accord. I love my 16 Sport... WOP is an excellent color. Yes, as stated above the sport wheels are getting stolen everyday more so in the Jersey area. Everyone complains about the CVT, but I've never had an issue in my 9th gen or 9.5 gen. Enjoy.

dallison

If you are looking at the front and the sides, you are correct. The rear takes some getting used to. I like the look of the civic better.

dallison

Thanks! i had no idea that it was an issue with the wheels.

My wife and I were driving back from Saratoga Springs Sunday afternoon when we came upon a black Accord Sport sedan. She said "that really is a good looking car isn't it?" "Yes it is." Nice pick up dallison!

Congrats on the new ride. Looks great. :thumbsp:

If I needed a car right now that would be it. The Accord Sport is one good looking sedan!

Gorgeous! I love the new Accord Sport

dallison

After 400 miles i have noticed the wind/road noise is minimal. I am still getting used to how fast i can corner on 19's. The leather seats are more comfortable than the cloth. The cvt scoots you around pretty quick. I still have a few hundred miles for the break in so i haven't tried much out. The headlights are pretty bright at night.

RDX10

Should we change the forum name to NewCarZine? Everyone here is getting new cars lately! Congrats Dallison on a great pickup! I wish you good luck with it and good health with it as well!

I also bought a 17 Sport (not the SE, I prefer cloth). Love the car and everything about it... even the CVT.

Initially, id recommend:
- tint
- all weather mats (front/rear)
- LED's in place of the halogens

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

Fixed.

dallison

I have the black all weather mats. I got em for $93 shipped. The dealer said their cost was $114. I don't think i can get away with any tint here in PA.

TL-GIXXER

PA tint in the house

dallison

What percent do you have?

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

I'll post a pic when I get my car back.....

I'm thinking he may have 5.

I have 15 in the rear, 35 in the front and mine don't look that dark.

TL-GIXXER

I have 20 I believe. It was the darkest before the 5% limo which is just too dark for me at night and especially the rain

kurtatx

Love those tints. Just tinted the A4 but I kind of wussed out on the back seats.

TL-GIXXER

Installed the Sport grille today. You need one!

kurtatx

^^^That looks great!

dallison

Where did you get that grill?

kurtatx

It's the sport grille. Pretty expensive

dallison

I think i like my stock one for the price.

1. Organize PA Accord Sport meet.
2. Slip TL-GIXXER a mickey.
3. Swap grills.
4. Profit.
