Re: 2013 Accord 2.4L Direct Injection
nice classy beak was my thought. it's like they silver plated it and coated it in some cool stuff.

Yeah, I can't really stand the Acura's where it looks like there is a giant silver/chrome beak on the front and a pointy car following it. It looks like they modeled the designs off StarFox 64 or something. That being said, that new one looks better...

Re: 2013 Accord 2.4L Direct Injection
It's going to be subzero here soon, but I have only gotten the rear dampers on my car last week. Lol.
Anyway, I didn't get as much seat time with the Accord 2.4L Direct Injection as I liked. I have the V6 Accord Coupe this week, and I like it alot more! I believe that the front fascia is also different. The front head lights appear to be slimmer than the ones from the sedan, even though they have the same functional design.

I love the cold weather. Plus, it's GREAT for turbo cars. I love the little extra zip you get in a turbo car in the cold weather.Perpetuus wrote:It's going to be subzero here soon...

Re: 2013 Accord 2.4L Direct Injection
You are right, but my co-workers all think that I'm crazy to install my coilovers in my driveway. They quote bloody fingers from getting cuts in the cold!Shadow wrote:I love the cold weather.

Review updated!
Sorry it took so long. I ran into some issues with my suspension install...some rusty bolts snapped when I was trying to remove them, so it is still on jack stands after two weeks!

Haha. Yes, I meant that it took me so long to actually write the review after I started this thread. Before yesterday, that first post was just a placeholder with a picture because I've been trying to install my suspension on my own car...and had some roadblocks.

Nice car. I'm glad Honda brought back the 6 speed manual in upper trim levels.

I am going to be driving the Accord 2.4L Direct Injection with the 6MT this week, it`ll be a good reference for comparison to the CVT model!
