you have to also remember the 05, even if its brand new, has depreciated. unless your getting a killer deal, go for the 07 or a 06.

if you want to sc right away, get the 05. the 06+ has no supercharger available. although, hondata+header will give you quite a bit of hp on a 06+.

 

2007 has fly by wire.... more excellent.

 

I hate the new Accord like wheels. The new leather also looks like it comes from the factory cracked. The steering wheel also took a turn for the worse IMO.
I thought the look would grow on me but after taking a look at the 07 GPW/red int i just couldnt bring myself to trading my current one in.

I love my stock wheels and the seats too mcuh to give it up for red+black seats.

DBW and VSA arent so bad. You cant tell that DBW is there and VSA can be shut off. I do like the outside temp gauge =-) The extra speakers are pretty much worthless and ruin the clean flowing lines of the roll hoops.

again just My opinion.

 

What about the 06 vs 07? Are they EXACTLY identical?, or did they add some really ever so minor things to it to make it a bit different then the 06? What, if anything, did they add to make the MSRP go up $200?

 

If you plan on ever going the forced induction route then the 2005 is what you should go with given that it doesn't have DBW, and there are many different kits/engine management system available for it.

 

As far as we know, yes! Except for paint schemes.

Go to Under the Hood and look at the 2006 thread at the top of the page.

Enjoy.

 

I live in NJ and there was one leftover 05 near me.

 

04-05 are the best years IMHO.

 

Don't forget the headrest speakers!

 

2005 FTW!
