I had a 2015 4 Door for a short period of time. Great car and it is very good looking but I just could not do the 4 Cylinder Earth Dreams engine - I'm not sure about the 2016 but if Honda were to come out with a direct-injection turbo 4 I would certainly entertain it.

Enjoy the new car!

Can't speak to owning the 2016 Sport model but I have a 2010 LXE coupe that I love. Great car. Only complaint is with the suspension. Feel every bump in the road.

Not the best pictures, come to learn Canadian cars come standard with a lot of features not available in the U.S. Not sure why where the American dollar is so strong right now up here.

Cheers, Thanks for the photos. I think the new accord is a lovely car, I just hadn't seen the sport model in person. Congrats

Nice car, mines CVT with paddle shifters (Words surprisingly good) I get the feeling the 19" rubber might be painful to replace at some point.

I have a set of $800 17" Pirellis on mine, so yeah, I think it might sting a bit. Good rubber's worth it though.

very nice. I don't think you can get CarPlay on the Sport here in the U.S.

Very nice! I had a 2005 Accord Coupe V6 with manual transmission, absolutely loved driving that thing. Only sold it because I needed AWD.

You can't, Canadian Sport models come with it standard, along with sunroof, and keyless entry. A lot of bang for the buck up here.

Nice looking car. Love Hondas and Acuras. The current accord is the best looking Accord ever made in my opinion.

Great choice. We just bought the 2016 Pilot and I have a 2007 Accord. It was/is tempting to buy the new version. But instead, I'm replacing bumpers and sprucing up my old Accord.

Below is a pic prior to adding new grilles and chrome. Perhaps in a few more years...

Thinking about an Accord. I'm hating my new commute in a BoF SUV.

Nice lines in this generation accord.

I had a seventh generation, 2003, with 130.000 miles when I traded it in. I kind of wanted to keep it, but it was starting to cost me money.

Accords are incredibly cheap to operate and maintain, thus leaving money for other pursuits.
