[scooterboyelite]

vvv

Question: How did I end up watching this? lol.

[mechsaudi]

is that 30mph or 30kmph, u need to test at higher speed

[mercmilan06]

@mechsaudi 30mph

[Motorfordtoyota]

Yeah, if this is like my dads 06, the light touch of the brake pedal and you stop emedeately! You get whiplash from the freaking brakes!

[wongmylesa]

Why did you purchase the 4 cyl?

[mercmilan06]

@wongmylesa it's not mine, it's my grandparent's car. They got it last year off-lease from their neighbor who never drove it...it only had 10,000mi on it when they got it. Their other "normal" car is a '93 Impreza, so I jumped at the chance to get them into such a nice Honda Accord. I actually like the Accord more than they do because it has "hard seats", they actually like that old Impreza better, go figure...they're crazy

[wongmylesa]

@mercmilan06 Lol... I see ! Thats funny... Yeah the 4 cyl actually sounds pretty smooth... Interesting : D

[songdaysgb]

@mercmilan06 its good to catch up isn't it! ;)

[ShepperdW]

@mercmilan06 I would probably like the Impreza better too... No offense. It's just my driving style.

[DustBluntProductions]

@Hencer16 mine only comes on when i need to change my brakes. not when u slam them to the ground

[mercmilan06]

It's not like traction or stability control where the light comes on when the system is active, ABS lights (in all cars) only illuminate if the system is not working properly and needs to be serviced.

[Watcher3223]

I wonder how well the ABS works in a 2005 Accord LX.

Your EX-L has four wheel disc brakes. The LX of the same model year uses front discs and rear drums.

[mercmilan06]

Well I can tell you this, the 02 Taurus and 99 Contour we have both have ABS and the control and pulsation speed are similar (if only just barely slower) to this Accord, the 08 Accord, and my 2006 Mercury Milan and dad's 2005 Ford F-150. However, the cars with rear drum brakes to have much worse pedal feel than ones with 4 wheel discs.

...I think it works?

[MacMike1000]

Got 2005 Honda Accord EX-L w/Navi, I love it, mine is dark red with dark grey interier does your car have fog light?

[mercmilan06]

Nope, no fog lights. Its not even my car but I can tell you that it never will have fog lights even though they do improve the look and practicality of the vehicle (grandparent's car...)

[Tippey764]

Your camera is so good it makes the gauges look really clear.

[mercmilan06]

Thanks! It's a Panasonic FZ18, very pleased with it.
