Eventually, you can probably snag one from the Accord Classified FB page....

The one thing I couldn't stand on the new Accords was the grille. On the 2013 the grille was plain but IMHO perfect. That sport grille looks really nice as well, matches the car.

TRD Pro grilles were going for double what I'm seeing for the sport grille.

Really? When I got my 17 PRO last year, I thought the price was $399 for the grille. Since then there have been copies that are half that I believe.

I ignore the grill on mine. I've seen some guys color match it. But on WOP, I don't think it will look right.

I paid a little under $300 for my sport grille when I had my 2016 Accord, and just paid $400 for my TRD Pro grille.

2000 miles and still enjoying it, esp with the gas prices. I get 30-34 mpg since a good portion of it is highway. 30% is backroads.
The cvt seems to work very well and i am enjoying it. It pulls nicely when already going and it really gets some speed.

The MPG is what is making me thinking about keeping mine. Especially after yesterday when I filled up the Explorer with 50 bucks getting 14.6 mpg.

14.6 in the ExSport? I'm getting 20 in my F150. Must all be in-town/city? Our non-EB Flex is running around 18mpg with probably 90/10 city/hwy.

14.6 in the EX.

It's pretty much city driving, my wife usually stays within the city since she stays home.

I'm getting 24 in the Accord, but I drive all city since I only work 4 miles from home. I should just hop on my bicycle and ride.

I got 33-35 today on my way in to work. I am loving it. I am saving about $16 per week on fuel. My is was getting 22mpg and using mid grade compared with 32 mpg and using regular fuel running 300 miles per week.

I am still hunting for a nice beater. Having only two cars concerns me. Trying to find something for $1,000- $2000 is difficult.
