Yeah this accord is a lot more roomier than the previous ones.

As long as it didn't overheat, regular maintenance will keep the TL healthy and reliable.
It never overheated all the way. Headgasket is good and the car runs great now. Just didnt want anything else to happen.

Have not test driven the new gen Accord but I saw a post earlier that Honda still hasn't addressed my number one complaint about an Accord. Noisest damn cars I've owned in the last 10 years! It was problem in the previous gen and I never understood why they never done anything about it...4 cycl was the worst!

You've clearly never driven a Mazda6.

No it's not noisy because it's 4 cycl. It's noisy because it's a honda! The engine noise from the six isn't bad but still got the road noise.
