So I wanted to be like Bryan (CrazyasianTL)

So I went and bought a 2013 Honda Accord. Decided to dump the POS Mazda, will never own a Mazda again. Value was horrible on it, but I know the owner at a Honda dealership out here and he gave me a great deal and got me out of my Mazda.

Just got home so only have 1 pic of it so far. Will take it for a proper shoot this weekend. Love the car so far, only had 8 miles when we left the dealer, this is my first actual BRAND NEW car as well. Way more room especially with the little one on the way. So far only thing I will be doing to it is Tint.

+1, which trim?

Congrats on the pickup. I can honestly say that the new gen Accord is the first one in years I am genuinely excited about.

Congrats!!

I had a Mazda a few years ago and gave it to my wife (girlfriend at the time). Like you, NEVER AGAIN. Rear bumper came right off the quarter panel cuz of the rust. This should not happen to a 6 year old car with less than 85K miles on the clock...

Thanks guys again. I love the white, I miss the way a actual car is supposed to drive unlike that POS Mazda I had. So far I put 135 miles on the car. Getting average 31.4 mpg. still near a full tank.

Bryan, don't go buying anymore cars I don't know what it is with us getting new cars at the same time and same color at that! I'll be keeping the Accord until the wheels fall off.

Yes, Aman no love for Mazda what so ever, I even deleted my accounts on the Mazda forums, no regrets getting rid of that thing.

Congrats Kev!! Sorry the Mazda never lived up to your expectations. It seems the non-Japenese built 6s can be hit or miss. You guys might not be the only ones getting rid of your Mazdas.

Everything I buy is short lived. I just change my mind every year or two. Now that I work from home and keep the miles off I might be in the market for something a bit more... um... raw.

Only 2 more.

The 31 MPG was was just driving in the city, but currently im averaging 33, want to do all highway and see if I can hit 36 or 37, the call it to average 35 so we will see, loving the car so far, when the pics came out for the 2013 I thought it was nice while others said it looked like a Hyundai. I only have 255 miles on it so far. I want to wash it but my supplies are not in yet.

Shit, you had a range of 500+?

I've gotten mine up to 460ish so far.

I'm damn near at 1k miles. I'm interested to see how the mileage gets once its broken in
