Just picked it up yesterday.. it's my first car (i'm 25). I've been takin public transit for so long now (something like 13 years) and finally I made the commitment and got myself a ride. No more subway/bus to work! yay!

here's some pics:

Congrats! Great buy. I bought mine last May and I am very satisfied with it. I got it in silver with a/c and sun roof. No problems so far.

Congrats! I recently bought a Honda Accord. It is about the 15th car I've owned. You get the same feeling everytime you get a new one!

nice ride!!

really like the color, but on the pictures some green spot on the hood, what are those, leafs?

red-i

yeah leafs.. there is a bit of paint scratched off the bumper, but other than that, no scratches no dings at all! the guy before me only brought it to touchless car washes so there aren't any swirl marks on it from those car wash brushes. I'm actually leasing the car right now, but i have a decent buyout price and the lease price is good (did a lease takeover)..

My only gripe is that it revs pretty high in 5th gear on the highway, but I guess that's pretty much the same with any 4 banger, unless it's a 6 speed.

thanks.. yeah the colour's grown on me alot (wasn't my first choice that's for sure but i wasn't overly picky about the colour).

I think i'm gonna take some time this weekend with some mother's wax and give it a couple coats.

Sweeet car. id get the same car, just in silver if i had the money.

Right now the "good old bus pass" is the way to go....lol

red-i

I hear ya man... silver was my first choice but considering I did a lease takeover the one taht was listed with my monthly price range was yellow.. so i jumped at it.

regarding public transit.. i'm 25 now and up until this point I was taking the bus and subway every day. I started taking the subway when I was 12 or 13, so this marks the end of a 13 year saga for me taking public transit! This does mean cutting back on buying other tech gadgets but that's ok for me .. for now....

Well i see you live in TO...... im very impressed with the system you have there. you have the bus, the subway and the Go train......here is ottawa we have just the bus. well we have a small "train" like thing, but its route is sooooooo limited.

i dont mind the bus allll that much, but when u get the 300 pound person sitting on you.....you tend to get a little ticked....lol
