Almost Perfect
(1) Before leasing the Accord, I had a CRV, which sat up higher, so it follows that the Accord feels a lot lower than the CRV. However, it is so low that the front bumper scrapes on some parking slot concrete "stoppers," but I never know if it will or not. The upholstery stains way too easily and is hard to clean. (3) On the plus side, it drives like a dream and is very comfortable, I love the rear-view camera (what did we ever do without it?) and appreciate the bells and whistles as well. The mileage is even better on the road than advertised (I get at least 41 mph on the freeway). For road trips, and for those who like sedans, this is a great car. However, when my lease is up, I will probably lease a CRV again because of overall visibility, height, clearance, and ease of packing. I do a lot of volunteer work that involves loading/unloading things and transporting, and the CRV was more convenient for that than the Accord, although the Accord's truck is generous. I still give the Accord 4 stars because of mileage, comfort, certainly reliability, and even its good looks. And Honda service is unmatched.
