so, what exactly happened to the accord? did you just trade it in for the fit or did the trans die or something? it seemed like a beautiful car and this is a dumb question i just wanna know what happened to it
@xoquixxoqafxo Ehh, whats the point of having a car if you don't get to have fun :) For me, fun comes from great power and handling and a mid-size. I average about 23-24 driving good. But I get GREAT gas milage compared to most people around here. I'm from the south, most people have new Tahoe's and Trucks. I'm a pretty boy, so I drive a mid-size :)
Yea 18/25 really sucks though compared to my old Sonata and my Mazda. But its kinda my *fun* car. Long trips are always in the I4 6 for sure.
Before I bought the Forte, I was actually looking at a midsize sedan. I test drove this and the fusion SEL 4-cyl back to back and I couldn't believe how much quicker the fusion felt despite having the same engine. But the quickest were the Accord EX and Optima's engine. the 2012 camry was sorta mid-range but had sucky steering like all toyotas. Don't know about the passat 2.5 or Altima because I didn't bother driving them
@techdude6693 Ford did a great job of tweaking this engine. I have a 2010 Fusion SEL 2.5. The only time it feels slow, is when going up a hill. I think Ford's 6F35 helps too. I just wish this engine was a smooth and quiet as the Camry's. :)
@giannial1985 Yea, that's true. I drove the V6 3.0L one too and the 2.5 didn't feel so far off, probably since the V6 adds some weight to the car as well. The Camry is quiet, but I hate the rest of the car, styling is meh, and the steering feel is vague and too light for me. I actually went to get an Optima EX, but ended up getting a Fully loaded forte. Not sure how that worked :P
@techdude6693 The 3.0L doesn't really add that much more power than the 4. The 3.5 in the Sport is a different story. I like the older Camry's, mainly the 2002-2006. My sister has an 2002. But I agree with the steering, it's too light. The new Kia's are really nice. Forte's are pretty cool :)
@giannial1985 the 3.5 Fusion has such a smooth engine, and with AWD that thing is a sleeper. My dad used to have an 06 ES330 and I wasn't really a fan of it. And yea, I'm impressed with Kia too. Hadn't planned on buying it, but I decided to test drive it just to be sure and I was surprised. Plus you really can't beat them warranty and price-wise
@techdude6693 I should try out a 3.5 Fusion sometime. Toyota's are just quiet, comfy family cars really. Hyundai and Kia have improved so well and they're selling more then Toyota and Honda. I can see why lol.
@giannial1985 I wish Toyota would stop using such crap transmissions though, like the new Yaris still has a stupid 4-speed.. The Fit, Fiesta, Rio, Sonic all have 5 or 6 speeds. Even the Mazda 2 still has a 4-speed auto which is kinda stupid especially since they're known to be "driver's cars".
@techdude6693 I like Toyota's 5 and 6 speed auto's. The only good 4 speed, was the one used in the 02-04 Camry. That 4 speed is smooth and quick. But in new car's today, like the ones you mentioned, the Mazda 2 and Yaris, that is stupid of them to put a 4 speed in. I think they did it, due to lack of money. A 4 speed's cheaper.
@giannial1985 I doubt its due to money. Compared to hyundai Accent for example. The base price of the Yaris is more and fully optioned out, the Yaris still costs more even though the accent has more features, better engine, and a 6-speed. Even against the Mazda 2, the Accent has a lower base price, and they're about the same price fully optioned out.
@giannial1985 I have a feeling why Toyota doesn't. The Prius. If the Yaris had a 6-speed, it'd be rated at or above 40MPG so consumers would just buy that and pocket the extra cash vs a prius. Same goes for the corolla.

I like my 6, but after just buying a 2012 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited, I will NEVER go back to a FWD car :)
The 3.6 Boxer engine in it + Subaru's nearly unbeatable AWD = mad fun even in the rain.

not bad... it has no 2-3k rpm acceleration so youd be constantly flooring it to get it up to highway speeds

@codeGard17 The 5AT's gear spacing seems to be very close to my old 2009 Mazda 3's 5MT's. Hence the huge drop in power after the 1-2 shift.
