My wife loves Hondas! She talked me into buying a new accord6, 6spd; I guess I'n not a Honda man, I sold it 5 months later.
Here's some differences I noticed between the Honda accord 6spd and the clk, that led me into selling my accord and buying the clk.
The accord "bobbed" on its springs after coming to a stop, the clk doesn't. (major annoyance)
The accord rear dives during acceleration and front dives during braking, the clk doesn't, much less.
When I lean against the accord the body panels pop in-out, the clk is solid. (major annoyance)
My Honda dealer lost interest in me after the purchase, where my Mercedes dealer lets me sit in cars I could NEVER afford, when the only thing Iv'e bought from them in the last four years has been t-shirts and car wax in the gift shop.
People on the road bullied me and tailgated me in the accord.
Other drivers treated it like crap; dinged the doors from front to rear.
I like the Benz because its sturdy, and strong, and fast. There's nothing wrong with Honda; they simply have a different competitive priority. I think they value economy over strength.
OK, teens never really look at my car; they probably don't even know what it is. But I really like the car, and every once in while, someone I do not even know will approach me to say they like it too.
