Hi everyone,

I'm a sales consultant at a large Honda dealer in the Twin Cities. I've been really interested in the all new 2013 Accords since I started here. I had a 1991 LeSabre that I was daily driving, but it had become consistently unreliable recently, requiring fairly expensive repairs every month for the last 3 months. So I decided to pull the trigger this week and trade it off on a 2013 Accord LX Sedan lease.

Overall, I'm very happy. It's zippy (0-60 in about 7.5), fuel efficient (averaging 33mpg so far), very roomy, smooth and responsive and good looking. I'm pretty sure it has more rear seat legroom than the Marauder. I have a friend that's 6'1" and he was very impressed with the rear seat legroom in it.

Now, here's to many happy miles with my first brand new car! Having this instead of my unreliable old Buick will guarantee that my Marauder never sees snow or salt again!

Enjoy your new ride.

For my next daily driver, I'm looking into a 2010 Lexus IS250.

I have a relative with a 2009 with only 1500 miles on it. She will not let me go near it.

As written by the OP: fuel efficient (averaging 33mpg so far),

It's weird to have a car that gets almost double the gas mileage of the Marauder, while still having a large interior and good performance.

I say the same thing about my wife's Ford Fusion .

That is what newer technology will get you.
