Reader’s Question:

I’m looking at a new 2009 Honda Accord to use for myself in good old Texas. I’ll be turning over my old car to my wife who also needs a car. Can someone offer me some advice?

Good day to you, Matthew! Gospel-truth, the Accord has always been on the strong side of Honda. Ever since the Accord models came out in the 1980s, it always got positive reviews from both critics and consumers alike. Honda’s tradition of marrying technology and design lives on in the 2009 Accord. What kind of Accord should you take home with you? Any one of the different trims should do well but what struck my heart as a winner is the EX-L.

How is the EX-L different? Well, since you said that you’d be driving this one for yourself, I thought that I’d recommend something that isn’t on the top of the price list but takes your comfort into mind. The EX-L comes with leather-trimmed seating, leather covered steering wheel and a leather covered shift knob (for the MT), just some things that you might appreciate. I don’t think you’d be disappointed as well with the response of its 2.4 Liter i-VTEC engine. The 190 horsepower will always be there to back you up whenever you need it. For your driving convenience, the 2009 Honda Accord EX-L comes with the Honda Satellite-linked navigation system with Voice recognition. You got the style and the power, with great directions to get you in and out of Texas.

Honda 2009 Element Dallas Texas

Reader’s Question:

What are the good points on the Honda Element? I honestly think that it’s quite a uniquely shaped vehicle. Would this vehicle be a great add to the roads of Texas?

Hey there, Peter! Of course, another odd-shaped car would not be a bad add on the streets of Texas. But let’s not bring a good thing down by harping on shape alone. The 2009 Honda Element has what it takes to back up its claim to being fun-inspired SUV. After reading up on how consumers reacted towards the Element, I’m even more convinced that Honda stumbled onto something with this unique design. Traditionally, I always saw an SUV as just a giant car that uses a truck chassis. But with how Honda approached the Element’s design, I think it hits something for the adventurous, fun-seeking market.

First thing that grabs you with the Honda Element is its size, it is not longer than most SUVs, it’s taller. Then further checking out the exterior, you see a unique clamshell rear door. Moving up to the side, even how the side doors open up is different from most cars. Taking these exterior aspects into consideration, one is led to believe that this car is built to carry personal gear like bikes, musical equipment, heck, even small furniture. Looking under the hood, does it have the heart of an SUV? If you’re into the usual “where’s the V6?” type of person, then you might be disappointed. You will find a 2.4 Liter i-VTEC engine under the hood that can give you a fair amount of horses, about 166 of them. For me, as a personal SUV/ hauler, I think that should be enough for you to play around with. Match that with the Real-Time 4WD which is common Honda technology and you get a fun SUV. I think it’s worth your time to drive this vehicle around Dallas.
